magnets for millage

[sir alpha]

i ordered some from a online store and i was wanting to know if any one has treid this or has anything they know about this i have got it allready however the oil filter one came broken ( they just threw it in the bag and mailed not in a box or anything and the post office mauled the bag it was in ) so i cant put the oil filter one on but the gas line one is on and i havent seen any mpg over one tank does anyone know anything about these ? yes i have the gut feeling got taken

The oil filter magnet MIGHT help keep ferrous particles out of your oil (check http://www.lube4life.com/oilfilters.htm for more info); the fuel line magnet has been tested before (by the EPA and Consumer Reports, I think) and was determined to be worthless for improved mpg.

Depends on what type of gas you're using. If it's regular old 87-89 octane, it won't help. If its the patent pending molecular aligned irradiated stuff with the ionizer additive, it will help align the larger molecules for better atomization in the cylinder.

Wow, there's some "interesting" reading at: http://www.magnatronic.com/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=32
First, they claim: "12% - 20% savings on fuel consumption (guaranteed)", which is of course total BS. Them there's some pseudo scientific babble on how it works, and then more claims, of which none of them are true:
"# Savings of Fuel
# Power enhancement that can be felt by the driver.
# Emissions drop by %60
# Much less fume in diesels
# Decarbonisation of the engine!
# Longer engine life."
And there are errors, more than I can count, everywhere. Some intentional, others are probably not.

No offense, but since you didn't do your research BEFORE the purchase, I'd just consider it a lesson learned.

With the internet, there is NO way you should have let this happen.

That's just a great post, made even better by your user name.

something i didnt even think about but true

[Aaron Morant]

According to "AAA" research center. There has not been a product that has passed the threshold of being able to claim MPG improvement. If there was it would probably get a Federal grant among other support.

Thanks. Any interest in my elixer of life?
