Maybe you should sit down a create an organized plan for testing next spring after temps have stabilized (more or less) for the summer? Though figuring out how to mount the magnets and having them stay where you put them is a good thing....

If you haven't already...check out this thread for good info on mounting magnets....?

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/d...se/message/372

I've usually used neo magnets in a series of 2 with a backing plate opposite the non-metallic fuel line...S facing the line.

Poster in this thread claims best to use S facing S with magnets opposite. He claims many variations on magnet positions were tested.

Just try this with a couple of larger neos.....you will need a good frame to hold them....

A frame could be made from a strap hinge bent so that after the 2 magnets were glued to the frame...it could be closed around the line...S facing S...and either taped closed or use an SS clamp to hold it closed.

For the air intake....N sides facing a non-metallic intake tube.

As far as the ceramic (weaker) vs neo (stronger) magnets being used...I've gone with the neos after trying some ceramics.

I have NOT tested magnet variations vs mpg results...just read a lot of patents and guessed a lot....
