i feel like that thing would fuck up the fuel system, like clog it after a week or 2's use.

according to that description it takes away the carbon, isnt that wat hte EGR valve is for?

and if it takes it away, where does it go?

i have this lil addon put on but different brand its basically a magnet all it does is makes the fuel injectors spray a more fine mist into the cylinders so it burns better thus giving u more power out of less gas. Which leads to better gas mileage i have a complete record of my fuel consumption 2 months prior to this addon i was getting a avg of 25 gallons combined highway and city driving. After adding this magnet on i get around 28 gallons with same driving as before. 3 mpg is a pretty big difference to me idk about you guys but u can goto sum local store and just get a highpowerd magnet that is insulated on the outside so it doesnt mess with your electrical system and itll do the same thing maybe better because these people tend to use cheap shit

Also i proved it works in my chemistry class as well with my teacher who has a phd. in chemistry terms all it does is breaks the intermolecular forces inbetween the hydrocarbon chains so they can spread out better when shot out of the fuel injector basically think b4 the magnet theirs clumps of gas which when shot into the cylinder also clog ur injectors adn then when burned only outside of these clumps actually burn the rest is shot out with exhaust(waste of fuel) the magnet disturbs the forces breaking these clumps up. thus helping with 1 power 2 exhaust gasses adn 3 fuel injectors getting clogged

If this is the case, why aren't car manufactures putting these on and advertising higher MPG? i'm still raising the bullshit flag here.

Also this mainly only affects your city driving gas mileage and not too much of highway because it doesnt have enough time to fully disrupt tthe molecules unless u have a couple of thes things put on your fuel line probably need like 2-3 at least to have any major difference on your highway mileage

That will be my next step ive had the 1 on for like a month and a half so when 2 months are fully over ill will try to add another and see if it makes any diffence but ull have to wait at least 2 months to find out.

The magnet is BS, don't you watch Myth Busters on Discovery? They tested ALL those myths, magnet included and they were all

All that cheap instant HP or fuel saving stuff is all crap. if your smart you wont pursue it anymore, its a waste of time, money, and anything else that goes with it.
Do yourself a favor and dont do it.

If it costs <$20 bucks and it might help fuel economy, why not get it and try it, instead of calling BS on everything before you even try it.

You guys are so damn cynical. My dad bought that turbospinner crap and it actually did help, not so much with gas mileage, but with throttle responsiveness. Overall, totally worth it. It threw more air into the engine.

If you want it, buy it! Don't let fear of it not working stop you from buying something so cheap.

this thing can't make your injectors spray finer!!??? if your injectors are dirty or clogged, it still wont spray finer...i think this looks as if it restricts fuel to your injectors, so basically your running leaner and not stoichiometric... just get an injectors flush, then you'll notice a difference in fuel consumption

dude if anyone really wants to try it just duct tape an old, huge speaker magnet to your fuel line and check your fuel mileage... youre more likely to get better results from seafoam and thats just $5.50...

Since fuel particles are neutrally charged, the magnet isn't going to move them. There is a slight diamagnetic property to the particles so one could argue they'd line up (not pull apart...) And even if this were true, the random motion of the particles (SINCE ITS A FLUID!) would undo anything the magnet does anyways.

Car manufactures don't put high flow intakes and exaust on vehicles for many reasons, the biggest one of course is NOISE. If the magic magnets actually worked there would be no downside so of course they'd put them on. They don't spend millions on R&D for new engines and ignore improvements that cost $10. Especially now when gas millage is such an important factor in buying a new car.

Don't support these idiots selling $2 magnets for $20......

That does it... Close the thread! Implicit covered it all. Its a $20 "placebo" magnet for those of you who think its going to work.
