Funny the first thing my google popped up was this Fuel saving gadgets - a professional engineer's view
Which was bashing fuel line magnets the second one was this Looking For A Miracle: We Test Automotive 'Fuel Savers' - Popular Mechanics 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?

Electric cars run on magnets, "ice" cars run on fuel.
Trying to combine the two forces by applying magnetic force to the fuel is nothing more than imaginative, no harm in that. If it works for some, it is the belief in the magnet's abilities that actually causes the gains. So they do work ! if you try really really hard  .

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.....  diy_magnet_use : DIY-magnet use Quote:
