If it was that good ....

All manufacturers would fit one
The government would insist you had one
The green party would give them away for free

However, I have a device that will save you 40% of fuel costs .. just send me £400 of the money you want to throw away .....

(I think adding snake oil to petrol saves 40% ... or is it 60% ??? :)  )

Have a look at the sticky immediately above this thread in this section.

In particular...

Absolutely no links to your Ebay auctions, or Ebay auction numbers, or links to other places where it is advertised.

Looking on ebay i seen these little fan type things that fits in the air intake which forces more air at a much higher rate
meaning you can save lots of £££££ on fuel.
If you increase the volume of air, you have to also increase the volume of fuel.

On petrol, indeed, air/petrol ratio of 14.5 iirc, and modern ecus will ensure that.

14.7:1 - but only at idle & low engine loads, WOT and high load will be richer than that by some amount as 'best power' is (with current engines) somewhere around 12.5-13.5:1.

Generally the engine is going to be 'open loop' at high engine load too, so the O2 sensors are ignored and fuelling based only on engine load and the learned fuel trims (which are learned by the closed-loop low-load O2 feedback controlled operation).

Anyway.. you could theoretically shove more air in during 'open loop' and the ECU would never compensate; course all you'd do is get detonation and engine damage  ;)

Probably frustration that these stupid, thieving sellers sell such junk with such (entirely unproven, entirely unachievable) claims. They are retards who pray on people daft enough to believe their lies.

Sorry if the earlier post offended you.
