Increase Milage 10%!!!!!!
Ok...I'm looking through adds and see from a capitalist claiming increase gas
milage by 10% or more by simply placing a magnet around the gas line!!!!!
WOW I never thought about this
.....It breaks up the carbon clumps, so
the fuel burns more effiently, you know like taking asprin to break up the blood
clots flowing threw our bodies!!!! Is this a bunch of crap or what?
Does anyone know about this or tried it. I got magnets maybe I should try it and report.

Carbon clumps!? yeah...those damn carbon clumps.
Magnets (et al) have been BUSTED by many independant tests. Not sure how many times it has been said here but: Manufacturer's pay a fine when their produced fleet doesn't meet the CAFE requirements. All of them would be glad to buy some cheap magnets to get out of paying the fine to the EPA. Most pay it because they sell more trucks & SUVs than cars which get better mileage.

Most don't pay it. Although many have. I have a feeling in 2008 Ford might be paying since there is quite a jump in the requirement. (20.7 average now versus 22.5 for '08) Maybe all the F-150s will have magnets attached to get that 10% increase.

Why not get a 20% increase in fuel mileage today at the total cost of nothing!!
Drive at 55 instead of 75/80!!! It works

Don't you think the NET fuel consumption balances out by the added TIME it takes to complete a trip...and all the associated costs added; like the longer time being compensated for the hourly workers whose job is on the road???
We had a NATIONAL speed limit of 55 for almost two decades... it didn't work then
And for what it is worth...YMMV (pun intended)
55mph vs. 75mph on my truck does NOT yield a 20% fuel savings
What does work is driving my motor cycle....And if the weather is right the BSEG factor can be maintained this way too....

Atomic carbons, or more precisely, atomized carbon (AC), can build-up in the fuel service lines causing what is scientifically termed as Dinoflatulence. This condition can create multiple symptoms, least of which is called Car Poot.
Car Poot (CP) was once thought to be remedied by installing magnetic devices, called Magnetic Devices (MD), along the fuel lines between the fuel tank and fuel rail in any position, but more effectively near the injectors.
In tests performed using the MD it was proven that in most cases the AC would adhere to fields generated but could not maintain a definite shape, i.e., diameter and length, in order for the engine to successfully digest the treated fuel, thus causing CP. The earlier trial runs that were thought to be successful using MD produced CP, but was not detected, giving a false reading. This condition was later called Silent But Deadly (SBD) CP.
In closing, we are reluctant to concur with the findings of independent pseudo scientists that use MD to prevent CP by eliminating AC in fuel.
Anybody got any of that yellow salt? And whose turn is it to get the beer?

I wonder some times if we were to properly apply each of the 10% gas saving aftermarket items if we could zoom down the road generating Fuel instead of using any.....
I mean---- there are so many devices that Guarantee 10~20% fuel savings we sure ought to be able to achieve a 0% fuel usage rate at 0mph.... OH wait...sheesh... we can already do that without any doo dads...
never mind... back to them SBD CPs....

Wanna see something even funnier?
I was visiting the ATHS.ORG website, and someone posted about this fuel-saver device for diesels.
It's SO GOOD - it installs inline in the fuel line, or common rail, and it CHANGES THE DIRECTION OF FLOW of the fuel so that it atomizes better. Yes, that's the official line.
It looks like an inline fuel filter.
Did you know, that it can be installed ANYWHERE ... in the common rail after the injection pump, or in the fuel line going TO the injection pump.
There was a long post from a fleet mechanic who said they had installed them in certain trucks in the fleet, and they IMMEDIATELY saw a .5mpg difference (or something like that).
Problem? They told the drivers.
Now, how the HECK does diesel fuel get swirled around and atomizes better?
Funnier thing? Lots of large truckers actually believe it. Guess it was worth the $250 or $300 or whatever it cost. Amazing...
--
What's sad is the thing is probably a pressure-reducer (or flow?) and all these guys with these $100K's worth of trucks are running leaner... can't wait to see the rebuild bill on them things...
