So how are you going to route your fuel lines through the glass?? That should be a good trick! Good Luck. (I dont think you really want to save fuel using the magnets)

I'm not putting them anywhere near my fuel system - that would be like trapping a unicorn under the bonnet and expecting him to pedal.

No, those are round figures - you have to think in the language of olden times - like imperial measures created by looking at the length of the average man's arm, at sunset measured with sea weed dried for 13 days (14 within 3 weeks any solstice, and only when wearing wool.

So an adult male unicorn would be worth 37 HP, a female one 39, and the other type would be 43.

My current magnets do, I have some larger ones for test.

As for putting them in your fuel system, I suspect the fridge door is better.
