In the 1990s Mike Colburn, Managing Director of AMJ Chemicals, and his friends had a passion for motor car engines and specifically engine performance. All vehicle enthusiasts dream of finding a way of increasing performance, getting more fuel economy or reducing emissions or even making the engine just run more smoothly. Mike and his friends were highly motivated and skilled and included former MIT Professors with scientific PHDs and those with a detailed knowledge of engine operation and functionality. After many attempts they developed a product that proved effective and called it “Juice”. However, selling it commercially was not on their agenda as they were each very successful in their own right. They just used it themselves and shared it with friends and associates to out-perform the competition on racetracks and to give the “wow effect” to people they met. All were astounded by its effects. When a couple of the friends passed away, this forced the remaining two to take stock of life and coupled with the financial crash of 2007/8 they decided to sell the product commercially, not in massive volumes, but enough to make a reasonable income under the registered name of Oxytane® (known as X-Carbon outside the USA) .

In the early years they did not understand why it achieved the results it did as the product mix was all petrochemicals but had clearly undergone a complex change in the manufacturing process to make it effective. They only fully understood exactly how it worked in 2016. Many companies and individuals have tried to replicate the product, but no one has succeeded and the founders believe no one else will.

There are close to 6,000 fuel additives, enhancers, catalysts and cleaners in the marketplace, all of which claim the same sort of benefits. X-Carbon, however, is in a different realm, it is truly unique in its ingredients and effectiveness, its wide range of benefits and being so easy to use.

AMJ Chemical Inc started to sell it commercially across the United States during early 2008 and then into West Africa and grew a business that still delivers every month today. Now only through RunGreen International, it is being sold throughout the UK and into Europe and Africa.
