Will not work, not even in principle... No one has yet been able to explain how it works, tens of tests made by independent European laboratories and none has found any change in fuel consumption.

its also cheaper to get two black cabel ties and put them on the fuel line, as the result will be the same.

Still wonder how someone keeps on selling these things, and even worse, people are buying them!

complete load of bullsh!t

I've never read such a load of old cr@p in all my life!

They have obviously started watching too many Calgon adverts because they're talking about "build-ups of scale" in an engine. WTF? :-? I've seen carbon in an engine, but scale?

.. and they say you should put them on coolant pipes and oil filters now? Hell, if you're stupid enough to buy one why not buy loads and stick them everywhere?

I could only think of one suggestion for where to stick them, howver, and it's best left unsaid.

well, I thought I'd have a look to brighten an otherwise boring day.

The first testimonial is from someone who has a Daewoo Matiz - I mean really.  You buy a Matiz and then try to use less fuel?  Why not walk?  probably quicker and lots more fun than sitting in a Matiz

This has got to be a load of rubbish, if they worked then every major motor manufacturer would fit them to get better stats: boost sales etc.

Try Shell Optimax, worth the extra few pence.

tried 'em few years ago on my van............DONT WORK, NO DIFFERENCE !!!!!

[pete.h]

THEY DO WORK HONEST !!!





if you tighten the cable tie tight enough the fuel can't get through . so you're gonna use less , brilliant device.

mind you the number of the things he says you've got to fit ,the car will weigh another half ton so I shouldn't bother.

Well Devonboy, I guess that'll be a no then  



Still, I am sure that won't stop one of the shopping channels doinng a 45 minute special on how they will save your car and the climate too.

Got one on MV6, kindly donated by a popular member here, made sod all difference.  I was sceptical, so there was no "pyschological improvements".

Actually, I don't remember seeing it for a while, wonder if its dropped off, or got lost during HG change  :-/

about as believable as the penis enlargement pill spam emails I get sent

[shyboy]

Would popping the pills in the petrol tank and tying a magnet round one's penis produce any better results, d'you think?

[shyboy]

Not for the ladies, I suppose.
