I have magnets on the fuel lines of 2 vehicles...my gas furnace...and water lines. Can I say for sure that they do anything? No. Have not been set up to do detailed testing.

Just like with politics and investing...opinions on magnets are 50-50?

Plenty of "poopers" out there ready to take a dump on anything?

Most of the fuel line magnets for sale use weak ceramic magnets that I can buy retail for ~$1. I use neos.

I now have a car/SG where I COULD do an A-B-A test with fuel line magnets...but I've got better things to do....too much trouble to remove them and put them back.

I no longer argue that much about politics or anything else...I just try to apply what I think I know to my own life...as in "live and let die".

But here is a link to the GREATEST KNOWN DEPOSITORY OF MAGNETIC KNOWLEDGE ON THE PLANET.....

again bashing it

The third link was wikipedia!
Why didn't you change the article to aid your argument?

The fourth is the Federal Trade commision
again not a positive light.

So how many links did it take you to support your claim?
