Magnetic fuel savers... where do you put them anyway? I have seen pictures of "tornado's filters" that claim to inprove gas milage 15% or better.
The pro's and cons say, don't work...some say they do. For $80 they should!
It's hard to believe in wonder products, unless of course you yourself are satisfied in the proof!
I seen a guy once who had "clothes pins" attached to his fuel lines... I ask him what was the idea behind it. He said it prevented "vapor lock".
Ain't no tellin whats next!

I've seen the same type of magnets advertised for home water systems to eliminate corrosion, calcium and scale buildup. I asked our corrosion technologist at work about it to see what the deal was. He said the theory behind it was scientificaly sound, polarizing ions. But he added that the magnet would have to be as big as your house before it would actually do anything. I suspect the same is true for fuel magnets.
BTW, the "clothes pins" guy may be on to something. If you consider the "clothes pins" as *cooling fins*. I think wood is a good conductor of heat. Must be why it burns so good, LOL!
