A-B-A test show no difference with fuel rail magnets. Fuel rail magnets don't work.

If you had stopped there, I would have nothing to disagree with.

If you try some studies outside of a car, I think you'll find magnetic fields have little to no impact on fuel. Further study will demonstrate that fuel filters, before and after the fuel pump, remove the particulates you mentioned.

Here's one for you. Stick a magnet on cylinders #2,4 fuel injectors. Pop the cylinder head off in two years, and I'll bet you dollars to donuts there's no discernable difference in combustion chamber cleanliness.
