fuel saver device thing.

 

[dave]

NO lol

 

[crazy_cinq!]

My mate has got 1, dont think it works !!! ..lol......

 

[joecinq]

as above that one looks a little fake. You will get a better mpg and more bhp from this sort of setup

ps- i am kicking out about 200+ bhp and do about 500miles to a tank

 

[The Negotiator]

I could think of this properly but here is my initial though: The idea of polorising molecules so that they are more uniform possibly could make a difference. However, fuel is say Octane (I know it's probably not but can't be bothered to look up):

That's C8H18 AFAIK, nicely uniformly done with no dipoles (it's charge is neatly laid out) hence magnetism doesn't have much of an effect on it whatsoever AFAIK>

[size=-3]POSIFLOW FUEL SAVING DEVICE, SIMPLY WORKS BY ATTACHING THE SIMPLE MAGNETS TO YOUR FUEL LINE, USING 2 TIE CLIPS, THE SIMPLE DEVICE WORKS BY IONISING THE FUEL, IN SIMPLE TERMS IT IS BASICALLY SPLITTING THE FUEL MOLECULES IN HALF THUS GIVING A FINER SPRAY OF FUEL WHEN THE FUEL ENTERS THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER IT BURNS MORE OF THE FUEL THAN NORMAL (NO MORE FUEL SPITTING OUT THE BACK OF THE EXHAUST) GIVING MORE MPG LESS EMISSIONS AS ALL THE FUEL IS BEING BURNT AND MORE POWER. NO TOOLS REQUIRED, NO CUTTING OF FUEL LINES, TAKES LITERALLY MINUTES TO FIT, AS LONG AS YOU CAN LOCATE A FUEL LINE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIT IT YOURSELF. BENEFITS ARE: 1. SAVE UP TO 20% ON FUEL 2. CUT EMISSIONS IN HALF (UP TO 50%) 3. IN MOST CASES IMPROVES PERFORMANCE 4. WORKS ON ALL PETROL AND DIESEL ENGINES PLEASE VISIT THE FOLLOWING SITE FOR INFORMATION ON HOW THESE ITEMS WORK www.lawbright.com/energy/ecoflow.htm www.fuelsaversuk.co.uk YOU MAY THINK 8.95 IS RATHER EXPENSIVE FOR SUCH A SIMPLE GADGET, BUT CAN YOU REALLY NOT TRY IT WHEN YOU WILL RECOUP THE COST WITHIN WEEKS THEN AFTER THAT ALL YOU SAVE GOES IN YOUR BACK POCKET, works on engine sizes 1000cc to 2500cc although this is a guide on engine size FOR ANYONE WONDERING WHAT THESE DEVICES DO AND FOR THAT MATTER WHAT A BARGAIN THEY ARE PUT IN A SEARCH ON THE NET FOR FUEL SAVING DEVICES, AND YOULL SEE OTHER VERY SIMILAR DEVICES PRICED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50 - 150 POUNDS THEY ARE ON SALE HERE FOR 7.95 FOR A LIMITED PERIOD ONLY, SO SNAP THEM UP WHILE THEY ARE STILL AT THIS VERY SPECIAL PRICE ......FOR THIS WEEK ONLY BUY 2 GET 1 ABSOLUTLY FREE!!!!!!!!!!!...........................anyone wanting 2+1 free please just buy 2 and you will automatically recieve 3 just pay the post on the 2 items i post the third free of charge[/size]


What a load of old b***ocks! "Ionises the fuel"?!?! With magnets? "Splits the molecules"? Hmmm... I'm sure Paul/Mr Negotiator/pghscothaj/etc can give us an in-depth explanation about why this doesn't work!

 

[JonnyBoy]

In fact, he has, while I was writing the above! Paul, good to see there's a use for your chemical engineering knowledge

 

[The Negotiator]

A-level chemistry lol, I could probably write a page about my thoughts on it but I think the above is fine

It's a nice idea, pity most of the substances in petrol aren't polarised enough to allow any charges to have an affect.

NB: I am tired so if I have it wrong I apologise.

 

[joecinq]

is this similar to the magnet bracelets that you can buy?

that ^ means them cr@p in old money

 

[The Negotiator]

Joe, TBH, the magnetic braclets actually have some medical foundings.

Yep, well summarised David lol.

....but do they increase fuel efficiency and don't talk to me like you know me new kid

 

[The Negotiator]

Blood does have polar properties AFAIK so it can help suffers of certain symptons.

Sorry, just trying to be a friends noob!

 

[dave]

yes exackly the same, bracelets wont save you no petrol either :slayer:

 

[serin]

im pretty sure that if they were THAT good, or if they helped fuel economy at all, that all car manufacturers would fit them as standard
