Fuel Magnets

discuss.

i'm very skeptical.

nver tried them but heard that there a waste of money

think if they saved fuel wy no fit them as standard same with the "ecotec" valve. i tried the ecotec valve on the civic and they only thin that i liked about it was the noise

def didnt notice an improvement in fuel think it would be the same with the magnets

I had one (IT CAME FREE WITH SOMETHING ELSE BEFORE YOU ALL JUMP ON ME!) and having performed careful analysis of MPG before and answer I can definitively reveal that ...... nothing much happened!

Fuel magnets and molecular alignment.. NO,..... complete bollocks in my opinion.

However, A decent magnet attached to your oil filter does work in removing ferrous particles from the oil paths in the engine. I use these things and they can be transferred from one oil/filter change to the next. Just make sure you remove the filter with the magnet array attached otherwise all the sub ten micron crap runs back into the sump

What exactly is a fuel magnet?

its a couple of magnets which attach to the fuel and using the fact crude oil is ferrous(somebody back me up on this as not completly sure) it supposed to do something to the petrol which makes it burn more cleanly


as if

A good tip on the oil filter magnet HDI - it is those little particles that wear away the engine and when you open the filter up you can see how effective the magnet has been! (Essential on a new or rebuilt engine and a pretty good idea for everyone else!)

crude oil is purely mixed length chain Hydrocarbons.

For what? 2-3 extra mpg? lol
