Conclusion:
The module comes in the all too familiar yellow case shown above. Just like most scam chips, the seller claims it fits numerous year vehicles – so it is obviously not custom programmed for a specific vehicle:
Fits All Vehicles Scam
Another suspicious factor is the outrageous HP claims which often also accompany fake scam chips:
The manufacturer is unknown. You can find it on eBay. It did not appear that they had a website at the time of this review. The product case looks almost identical to the Nitro OBD light blinker scam, so we are already especially suspicious of this product. Let’s see what it actually does.
We purchased one of these modules from ebay and examined the inside of the module:
Our suspicions were immediately confirmed when we removed the yellow plastic top of the module. What we find underneath is the all too familiar circuit board shown above. It is identical to that of the previous Nitro OBD light blinker scams we reviewed previously. The red circle shows where the surface mount IC is located on the rear side of the PCB to prevent identification.
If you were with us for the NitroOBD Performance Chip Scam, you will notice this familiar circuit board design immediately. The circuit board is built around this hidden IC chip on the rear of the circuit board, which is an STM8S003F3 IC. Right away we see a problem here because if one pulls up the datasheet for the STM8S003F3 IC, we see from the manufacturer ST this chip has a maximum program memory size of 8KB:
We connected the Fuel Pro Max chip as instructed to our test vehicle. We ran at least two tanks of gas with the module connected and noticed no improved power or fuel savings – just a blinking light show!
Another feature that confirms our suspicions was the fact that the lights blinked in an all too familiar pattern – exactly the same as the Nitro OBD scam chip did. It looks like our suspicions were correct.
From our research and review, it is our opinion that the Fuel Pro Max chip module is yet another of the numerous light blinker scams. It may also cause ECU damage, so we suggest avoiding it at all costs. You definitely want to pass on this one!
