Some of you may have heard about this contraption. It is the fuel saving magnet and comes in many shapes and sizes. A typical one looks like this:
So, what are we supposed to do with this litle bugger ?
According to most installation manuals, you simply hook it around the fuel line somewhere close to the carb/injector unit, like this:
"And whats the point?" I hear you asking yourselves.
Well, this is what it is all about.
As fuel sits in the fuel tank, changes in temperature and humidity cause it to expand and contract. Eventually, the hydrocarbon molecules in the fuel begin to attract each other, forming molecular clusters. Placing the Super Gas Saver, on the Supply fuel line, causes the re-alignment of the charged particles surrounding the atoms that make up the hydrocarbon molecules. This forces the molecular clusters to break up and expand. More Oxygen will now combine with more of these hydrocarbon molecules, which are no longer in clusters, for better, more efficient combustion in the firing chamber. Since Fuel is now burning more Efficiently, the result is reduced emissions, less fuel needed to reach and maintain speed levels. Carbon and Varnish build-up is eliminated, thus reducing maintenance and prolonging engine life. A "cleaner and hotter" fuel burn also increases Horsepower and overall engine Performance. The SuperGasSaver uses Rare Earth Neodymium magnets placed in a proprietary configuration designed to create 3 ionizing fields through the passing fuel. The center magnetic flux field is generated in a way similar to the Halbach effect which is well known in the scientific community. The 3 fields ensure complete ionization of the fuel.
Got it ?
Ok, what it says is, by placing this magnet on the fuel line, it will reorganise the fuel to burn better.
Sound like a load of old codswallop? This has actually be known to work, BUT (and there is always a but, it wont work "off the shelf"
There are large R&D (Research and Development) companies on this planet who do nothing other than play with magnetising fluids, from orange juice to fuel. Fact is, yes, you can lower fuel consumption with magnet technology but the conditions required to do so are far from "standard"
To gain anything from this, the magnets need to be placed somewhere specifically, and the right place can only be found with trial and error. Just whacking it on the line near the the carb/injector wont really do anything.
Secondly, the ionisation field is important, the north pole of the magnet must be in the outward direction, ie showing toward the tank inlet and not he carb/injector. The fuel line material is important too. It can be either plastic or metal, but then different magnet types must be used.
All in all it is a very complex subject, which does work, but sadly it is more than likely not to work if you decide to go for the 7.50 option from eBay. These devices are too generic to work in any car, as they sinmply are not specific enough about where to fit these magnets, nor (as they should be) are they specific to any single vehicle.
It could be worth the try, experimentaly, but dont expect too much.
Hope this clears a few questions up.
