Hi Guys, on the fuel line after the filter I have a yellow block with super fuel saver stamped on it. It is about 25mm square and about 50 mm long and it can slide along the rubber fuel line and it is magnetic. Obviously it is a fuel saver, but does anyone know how it really works ??

Its probably meant to align molecules in the petrol or some such black magic, but it probably just collects debris.

It sounds like snake oil, but its no harm to leave it there. Call it a tribute to Peter Brock's Fuel Polariser

It works like this: all your saved money goes into the inventors pocket instead of fuel. Less money = less to buy fuel = fuel saved

Do a Google on "super fuel saver magnet" and you'll find what you want to know (or don't want to know !!).

They usually block up when your out in the desert somewhere and no matter what you do you cant get your car to go again. you walk 100ks back to town, with only 30mls of coolent to drink, arriving nearly dead, where a so called mechanic/publician/funeral director takes you back to your car in the back of his 1930s Dodge ute to find a burnt out shell with a tribe of _____ living in it. The only part you can retrive off your burnt out mini is the said yellow wonder block.

I would chuck it if I was you, and fit a normal Ryco fuel filter.

Lifted from the Made In China site:

Principle of fuel saving:
When fuel is flowing to the fuel saver, it magnetises fuel molecule and makes the molecule temporarily into cathode. Fuel burning will be more efficient in engine while reducing carbon. The unit can improve your fuel mileage an average of 10%-20%. The unit gives you high test performance and lets low carbon monoxide. The gauss value has 13000 gauss.

Obviously the "gauss value" is highly critical. Beware of cheap(er) imitations

thanks guys, I think I`ll throw it!!!

Oh they don't sound too good, that many gauss would certainly cause problems with the energy polariser, and I've just added this great new additive that will recondition the engine while I drive.

There you go - turns the fuel into a cathode - won't work unless the car is positively earth - have to convert the alternator back to Positive earth and change the battery around

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

Just fit it backwards then to reverse the polarity for positive earth cars...

If they worked the service stations would fit them to the hose on the pumps to save fuel.

Maybe it works as well (not) as a Fuelstar catalyst- http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-na ... -p04a.html
