Marvel Mystery Oil

Marvel Mystery Oil

Burt Pierce was the founder of the Marvel Oil Company in 1923.

After World War I, vehicles encountered carburetor problems. As a result Mr. Pierce formulated a blend of chemicals and petroleum to clean and maintain clogged jets. It proved beneficial for engines by creating a top ring seal producing higher compression, preventing blow-by on power strokes, resulting in more power.

Mystery Oil was also found to improve gas mileage when used as a fuel additive.[needs citation]

Since the use of Ethanol in gasoline, which breaks down and gels in gas tanks, fuel injectors and carburetor jets, adding Marvels will help slow and possibly eliminate the gelling of ethanol gas in Fuel Injected and Carbureted engines; making it a very suitable winterizing solvent.

Name

The name Mystery Oil comes from Burt's answer to the question, "what kind of oil is this?" to which Burt would respond, "It's a mystery!"
