cletus Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 has anyone ever had one of those magnet type gadgets that sat over your fuel line and used to be the rage? when fuel changed and went to unleaded we used to fit those fuelstar units to all sorts of cars- supposed to increase economy, run on 91, stop valve recession etc etc. boss had/has one on a blown smallblock chev and reckon it ran better with it. ive got one i scored off something have been meaning to fit to a vehicle and see if it makes any difference to economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 ..that's pretty much WOT at all times, hardly comparible to real world scenario. This was in our diesel hiace.... A non-turbo diesel Toyota is a real-world scenario of WOT at all times. I bought magnets and tied them around the fuel lines of the Alfa. It made no difference. In my defence, Murray from Weber Specialties said it worked. So I took them off. Now I have magnets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Get those intake swirly thingies. They will apparently add 30% more power as well has halving your fuel bill. I think you can also get some magic rocks that you drop in the fuel tank that has similar results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Then there are all the oil additives that are supposed to increase economy. I was amazed at how cheap to run my friends old 1600 crx was - it was quick enough but boy was it thrifty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think you can also get some magic rocks that you drop in the fuel tank that has similar results. i think thats whats inside a fuelstar, magical mystery petrol beads. funny thing was, we fitted heaps of them, and nobody ever complained or wanted thier money back. anybody read about the Peter Brock Polariser? interesting how a little box caused so much drama for a clever guy..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Brock http://www.peterbrockfoundation.com.au/ ... 41&pgid=7# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 This guy has some interesting sounding ideas about fuel saving technology... I'm not sure I quite understand though. http://mr2.org.nz/phpbb3/viewtopic.php? ... 2d76166727 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I like the "Put a heavy motor with lots of pistons and large displacement in my car to save fuel" part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
