Now we've gone from magnets helping gas mileage to unscrambled eggs. I've got a package of probably 30-40 magnets, maybe when the weather warms up this spring I'll put a band or two of them all the way around the fuel filter which is about 3" in diameter then put a hose clamp around the band of magnets to hold them in place and see what my results are. My fuel filter is pretty close to the single fuel injector (throttle body injected, no fuel rail) on my '88 Escort. Before I do it I'll try to get a good baseline mileage over a few tanks of gas after the cold weather and winter blend gas is gone, then I'll put them on. My problem now with this car is that since we moved to KY I live very near town and lots of the driving I'm doing in that car is city/stop and go driving. I think someone back through the thread mentioned that the S pole of the magnet had to be facing the fuel, but I was thinking I had heard years ago the N pole of the magnet. Can someone verify this? I want to be sure they are put on correctly.
