car fuel saving device-saves up to 15%

Options
I've found a gadget called Magno-Fuel which attaches to the fuel line of a car & reduces consumption by up to 15%. The inventors won the Nobel prize for it. It costs £20. See https://www.spiritofnature.co.uk for details(they send overseas).

    Hi links in signatures not allowed.

    Also I am sceptical of these devices, I haven't seen anywhere that prove that these work accept the sites that sell them

    As our eco-friendly Government is so fond of pointing out ways to save energy and reduce our "carbon footprint" by such methods as turning our TVs off standby, I would imagine it would be falling over itself to recommend the installation of these devices followed up by legislation enforcing their fitting to all new vehicles.

    Having said this I'm off to stick a couple of fridge magnets to my temples to align the molecules in my bloodflow and get rid of this damned hangover. :rolleyes:

    I have heard about a device called a Hiclone that supposed to help make fuel consumption in a car more efficient and has nothing to do with magnets. Supposed to save about 10% in fuel costs by making the burning of fuel vapour more efficient.

    My friend suggested it for us as our car is too old for an LPG conversion. Gutted as I was rather looking forward to saving a fortune in petrol.....

    that's strange :confused::confused: I've got one of them as well and it significantly increases my fuel consumption

    Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:

    I used to use an expensive one many years ago on my old van and that really made a difference to the monthly diesel bills
    the downside was that it cost a few quid to have it installed and couldnt remove it when It was sold on.

    Ive tried others costing £60 each but you really need two to work well & the magno fuel is a twin unit -mine is working well & paid for itself in 2 tanks of fuel

    I know the RAF were using em on planes & I did see some reports from Mercedes years ago
    interestingly they were very concerned at one point as the units they tested in the UK were not working as well as the units in the US

    Then they found that the UK cars were getting less MPG than the US versions - without the magnet boosters.
    After alot of head scratching they realised that the fuel sent to the UK is not the same quality as the US

    Oddly enough we found the same thing with red diesel in the UK
    cars performed much better on red than legal stuff from the pumps, often giving a 20% MPG increase

    hope that helps
