Hi Everyone i've just found a device that for £4.99 can boost your cars performance, decrease emmissions and increase fuel efficiency. Can this be true. See the link below:

Is this possible!?!

If it is, is it counted as a mod on your insurance?

i think this is similair to the other posts in the general section, where this product is basically a resistor in a fancy package, wire it into the ecu loom and it fools it into working differently, personally, sounds like guff to me, no expanation, picture of install, nothing.....hmmmmm

It's also called snake oil!

If it really was that good the car manufacturers would fit it as standard, surely?

While you are about it how about buying some of their other products:

As I said, I thought it was too good to be true.

Apparently it works using a phased magnetic field across the supply fuel pump, This doesn't scientifically explain how it works though. I just remember reading somewhere that some aitcraft in the war used them to increase fuel efficiency.

However, as there are no technical, or scientific explanations and I don't think even the makers know, how can you trust stuff like that.

Bloody electric pants!!! I can't believe it!

I'm sure I read about this in a science magazine or something, but no one knows how it works - not the pants, the fuel saver!

They claim it makes all the fuel go in in the same direction, it changes the polarity of petrol.

However, most of petrol isn't polar, it's bull.

Yeah, Petrol doesn't have a dipole, infact most the hydrocarbons in fuel don't have a dipole moment! the only one that may effect it is any water present in the fuel, but since water is immicible with petrol there can only be miniscule amounts in the fuel, and certainly not enough to change the way the fuel combusts.

When I think about it, the only way you can really inprove the efficieny of a reaction is by introducing heat, or reducing the activation energy of the fuel.. you could use a catalyst of some kind - but that's not how it works...

I read another article that claims it breaks the fuel up (isn't that what the spark does in the engine break the fuel and o2 up!!!!!!)! Another claimed it aligns the molecules (again you need a dipole for that)!!

Well I sought of knew it was b@llocks, just hoping I suppose.

Oh well, you can't have something for nothing!
