Magnets

Magnets

They are junk...they are snake oil pure and simple.

Here's a quote...

Fuel Line Devices (magnets). These magnetic devices, clamped to the outside of the fuel line or installed in the fuel line, claim to change the molecular structure of gasoline.

The EPA has evaluated: PETRO-MIZER; POLARION-X; Super-Mag Fuel Extender; Wickliff Polarizer [fuel line magnet/intake air magnet].

Those with asterisks may save measurable, but small, amounts of gas. All others have been found not to increase fuel economy.


So, basically, it doesn't do anything but lighten your pocket, which very well might give better fuel economy...here's another quote from a site which tested them...

"So in the end, which gas saver saved the most?

The mileage actually got worse three percent on the truck with the Fuel Saver Pro magnet.

The Super Fuel Max magnet performed even worse, decreasing mileage by nearly five percent."

Thanx for the info. I couldnt imagine how this device could make any difference yet there were many positive feedbacks for the seller. This is obviously something that should be advertised at 4am with the rest of the fake crap that suckers fall for.

I am a Chemical Engineer and I make gasoline 4 a living, and this is pure unadulterated horseshit. Gasoline is composed of Organic molecules and they don't ionize like most inorganic molecules.

There's a sucker born every minute, and I guess these days there's a SCAM born every minute.

I Have seen magnets for your house water actually work. my parents have one and they have never needed a water softener ever, even when we had our own well. but if you ahve iron and such in your fuel tank you have bigger problems to deal with

Right, Josh, and water is about as ionized and polar a chemical as U can get. So, magnets could have an ionizing effect there. H2O is very unique chemically, and basically shapes our world.

Organic compounds are generally non polar, and U can get some polarity when U add oxygen or Nitrogen - like alcohols.

Click to expand...

so if you ran alcohols then maybe you could use a magnet? not that it would do any good considering you would get like 2.5 mpg on alcohol :D
