Well you know the old saying: "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is not true".
I would not waste any time on it. Jim |

Not true. The only thing it does is empty your wallet.

If you want to read about something that will really save you gas, read about the Pogue carburator; patented in 1933 by Charles Pogue, this baby gave new meaning to the term "running on fumes". He realized that actual gasoline, and even gasoline droplets do not burn in an internal combustion engine; it is actually the fumes which explode, meaning that most of the gas going in is not burning, not expending energy, and is going right out the tailpipe. He devised a carb that fed an engine fumes, not gasoline, and was quickly bought out by oil companies (as one usually imagines with any good $$ saving invention involving gasoline).
A group of scientists built their own version of the Pogue carburator in the mid-late 70's and were able to get 100MPG out of a 1972 Duster with a 318 as one example. There are others, but search on Charles Pogue; talk about interesting. |

Heck, they're ONLY 89.95 each! What a bargain!!
I think you should buy 4 of them. At 27% increase, 4 of them would actually ADD fuel to your tank! You could sell the surplus to your friends... Sound too good to be true? It is ![]()

Absolute and total horsesh*t, all these devices are normally is a magnet, there has been tests run on them by some off the classic car mags here in the UK and not one of the many such devices sold did a thing. (mind you, there was one attached to the fuel line attached to the Holley carb that the previous owner had replaced just before I bought the truck) I guess there's one born every minute!

It works I have one of them on my fuel line.
What it is is a powerfull set of magnets. They work by traping the rust particles in your fuel (kind of like, what a BigMac does to your arteries). This turns into a rust ball and stops or restricts the fuel flow to you engine, there by saving tons of fuel. Its a simple idea....no fuel....no waste ![]() |

I would say it is also
![]() If they work, why wouldn't Detroit be using them? They love using good gas mileage as a selling point. I have also heard of that Pouge carb.....i am pretty skeptical though. Next year in college i start taking classes in thermodynamics....so hopefully i will have enough knowledge to see if at least the Pouge carb would work in theory ![]()

I figured it out once that if I bought everything in the J.C. Whitney catalog that was supposed to give me 20 more horsepower and 10% better gas mileage, my truck would have 963 horsepower and get 128 miles per gallon.:p
I still see people wasting their money on junk like this. I work on cars for a living, and you would not believe some of the things I've seen people try. The little magnets that attach to the fuel line is still one of the dumbest Ideas I've seen though. The "tornado " is another one. Then there's all the "Magic" fuel and oil additives, but I won't even go there right now.

Now we know what Jim and Tammy Faye Baker are doing these days!!!!! They have found another way to scam people. Just keep your foot out of the loud pedal and you'll be better off. Keep your hard earned $$$$$

Here is a slightly more scientific link on the Pouge carb:
http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfiel.../supcarb2.html I gave it a quick read-over....the only thing that i obvisoly saw wrong is that one of the chemical equations about 1/2 way down the page isn't balanced. The page might be BS....i should be able to tell in another year or two ![]()

I have developed a device that will more than save you 27% in fuel. For a limited time I'm offering it to board members for only $19.95.
Installation is very simple as you just slide the device UNDER the gas pedal. Offered by Fly-By-Night Limited a sub-division of Dewy Screwem Enterprises. ![]() |

It slices, it dices, what the he## could it possibly be? This product by Frigg-em-all Enterprizes can increase your mileage 27.9372856 per cent. Was the company name Ronco or something like that? Save yer money. Most of those are just gimmicks to get your money. Just my $ .02 .
