I have heard of this product before. I have never used it, seen it, or read about it before today.
I soooo want to raise the flag.

I like this one....
QUOTE: Why Do I Need 4' Of Hose? Answer: Through rigorous testing we have found that if the vapor out hose is less than 4' it will start cutting into the mileage that the Fuel Atomizer will give END QUOTE: By that logic, why not extend the hose to 5' and get better gas mileage!!

LOL. Did you see how the fuel economy on carbs was supposed to be improved? You don't push the pedal as hard!
All it will do on carbs (if it does anything, which I doubt) is make it run too rich. Also, on fuel injection it says that the O2 sensor is going to adjust to make the engine run leaner. But HOW? I think you'd be better off using the 4' of hose to blow smoke up your a$$. Brian |

60 day money back guarantee, less shipping and handling. Sounds like they are making money just by keeping the $10 for shipping and handling. Who cares if it works.

Actually there is some good tech behind that, whether it works or not I don't know. But it is true that the better the fuel is atomized the more efficient the burn will be and thus producing more power and more efficiency. So it is very possible that their system does work, i'm not sure that it works as well as they claim but I imagine that it does work.

I agree with Destructo -- Their science is based on a valid concept, but just how well it works I'm not too sure of...

This crap comes around whenever fuel prices go up. Why would the major auto manufacturers not use this if it worked? Its deception clear and simple. I'd rather run one of those electric superchargers they sell on ebay.

Most vehicls built from the mid 70's already have something just about Identical on it and not once has the manufacture of any car in the world claimed it helps MPG.It's called a Evap system. Look at a Evap system...it nearly identical......What a load of kimshi.

On Carbureted Systems
On carbureted vehicles this is done by not having to push down on the accelerator as much because of the enhanced horsepower resulting from the added vapor. This is why it feels like a constant tail wind pushing the vehicle. That's got to be the biggest bunch of horse sh!t I've seen in a long time.

I'm generally kind of skeptical of these 'too good to be true' claims. I'm thinking this is one of them.....
We've all heard claims of 200 mpg carbs. And I'll bet the technology is really out there. When I was growning up, our local 'inventor' had a VW bug convertable. He had a five gallon gas tank in the back seat with a vacuum clenaner hose leading from the gas can to the top of the carb. He drove all day on a cup of gas. As a matter of fact, if the 5 galloin can got shook too much, the engine would flood because the vapor was too rich.... Of course, a back fire through the can would have caused an explosion that would have leveled that VW !! I wish the oil companys didn't have such a strong hold on the world's energy needs. Ethenol is the way to go....... We have farm land that the government is paying farmers 'not to use'. We could use that land to raise grains to produce alcohol to run my truck. and yours too. OK I'll et off of my soap box.

Never seen one on a vehicle, machinist friend of mine said he helped a guy design something like it and it did work.....

Nothing but snake oil. There are still people who think strapping cow magnets to the fuel line works. Why not do both, and get about 400 mpg? I'll believe all that when I can sit on the beach in Denver.

I agree that it probably doesn't work (at all or not as good as they say it does) but just about every product that comes out makes claims that can only be met under certain conditions that almost never happen in daily life.
I disagree with the statement that if the technology was there that the big auto companies would have it on their vehicles. You have to think they get their pockets padded by the big oil companies like just about every auto related company does. Like was previously mentioned with the use of ethanol, hydrogen and hybrid technology, the need for gas could easily be cut in half if not more in a relatively small amount of time. Just my 1/2 cents worth.

'84 GMC 350 EFI 15 28 86%
86% increase? Come on. If this DID work, these guys would be worth millions, and wouldn't be selling these units on a ****ty little website for $175, or whatever it is.

In a interview a number of years back a GM engineer was asked if they could make a more feul efficient vehicle.
His answer which I will never for get was something like this: yes, but you could calculate the zero to sixty mph times with a sundial, and no one in the US would purchase such a vehicle.

I wish I had enough money laying around to buy it just to find out for myself. Let's use some board funds, buy one, find a guinea pig, and do our own tests.
