Show us actual testing data.

Don't show us marketing materials.

Don't give us links to this dynovalve website.

Quite trying to impress us with CARB.

An Executive Order from the EPA DOES NOT constitute evidence that a modification or device saves fuel or reduces emissions. The EPA is very clear about this.

The EO is something else entirely.

Please see post #137, above, to understand this important point.

Your testimonial doesn't do much for me. I hate to burst your bubble, but my mom has a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis LS that I often drive and get 24-26 mpg in combined city/rural road use. I'm the primary driver of this car since mom doesn't drive and dad passed away in June 2010. Actually the EPA rating of 18 MPG combined on the '00 Grand Marquis is 1 MPG lower combined than the 19 MPG combined on your '10 Crown Victoria. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find....n=sbs&id=16003 http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find....n=sbs&id=29326 I drove the Grand Marquis on a 540.9 mile round trip on 17.181 gallons of gas last fall from Russellville, KY to Indianapolis, IN and back for my aunt's funeral. Driving with the c/c set at 55 mph I got 31.48 mpg with about 50% a/c usage. That included about 30 miles of city driving in Indianapolis and about 10 miles of funeral procession driving. I filled the tank when I left Russellville and refilled at the same station/pump when I returned. Both times the tank was filled to the cap, I drove the complete trip on less than a tank of gas. The low fuel light came on about 25 miles before I got back to the gas station where I refilled the tank. It doesn't have a Dyno Valve or any other modifications, 100% factory stock. The Grand Marquis is the same platform and drive train as the Ford Crown Victoria. It's also very strange that you were getting exactly 19 MPG the combined EPA rating in your Crown Victoria, not 18.7 or 19.6 etc., but exactly 19 MPG. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find....n=sbs&id=29326

For your sake, I hope you don't have much invested in this company as the current stock price is $0.0069 cents per share according to their web site. Less than 7/10 of cent per share. Also noticed the price of the unit has gone to $499.

If you want to convince everyone the product works at saving gas, you, ownerop 2012, and treebark, get the company to install one on my '97 Escort wagon at their expense. It has 32K miles on it always serviced/maintaned properly and factory tune. I have installed a K&N air filter element. I'll test and provide feedback for the forum members. I'm also a member of at least 3 other gas savings forums and will also report to them. I'm planning approximately a 1000 mile round trip to Salisbury, NC at the beginning of next month for my niece's graduation. I have a fuel log on this site if you're interested in seeing the mileage it normally gets on highway trips. The highway mileage is down now to what it used to be, because I had to put a new set of tires on which increased rolling resistance, but have still got up to 42.98 MPG even with the new tires. I have the receipt where the tires were bought and we could use an average of all tanks since then for a baseline average and probably more than 90% of these tanks have been highway driving. See if the company is willing to put their product where their mouth is and allow an unbiased user give it a test to either prove it or disprove it.

Pump 'n' Dump. He hopes that by roaming the net and trying to convince the gullible this thing works, he'll get get the stock price up to .0071 and make off with... cents.

No cents or sense!

With a computerized PCV valve you are able to to recirculate wasted gases. Over time sludge is developed by "unused fuel". This unused fuel ends up as sludge in the crankcase. With the Dynovalve this "unspent fuel" gets burned.

With the age of vehicle playing a part, more wear on pistons and rings allows for more "blow by" gases to be burnt in the Catalytic Converter. (another thing of the past).

Many things benefit from a Dynovalve- longer engine life, less oil changes, MUCH lower foot print and fuel savings to name a few.
And, my '88 Ford Escort has 518,700 miles on it, never been rebuilt and the oil pan was removed last year for the first time to clean the oil pump pick up screen and it passed emissions testing in Cabarrus county NC when I lived there until 2010 with flying colors until they stopped testing cars older than '96's. At the time they stopped emissions testing on the older cars the Escort had in access of 400K miles. It also still gets as good of gas mileage as it did when it was new 40+ MPG on 95%+ of the tanks I run. The catalytic converter is still in good condition. It's likely most of the sludge that was in my engine was from driving the car on dusty construction sites for the first 12 years and 350-400K miles of it's life. If I can go over 1/2 million miles without having enough sludge to warrant cleaning the oil pump screen under the conditions this car was used I don't think the blow by gasses are having much effect and this car has lots of blow by. The way I prevent the liquid blow by from entering back into the engine was put a PCV catch can on it. All the PCV gasses pass though the catch can allowing the gasses to be re-burnt and the liquid stays in the catch can. It has enough blow by that it fills a 12-16 oz jar every few hundred miles yet when I change the oil it isn't fuel saturated. If there was a significant amount of fuel saturation it would increase the amount of oil in the crankcase. I think my engine is going to outlast the body and I've already had to replace the front seats once because they were so worn and losing their padding. I don't, but many people on www.bobistheoilguy.com do used oil analysis and some of them run their synthetic oil 10K miles or more and the oil analysis doesn't show excessive fuel in their oil or excessive wear metals. Are we having fun yet?

Pulling a depression (vacume) in the crankcase does have a positive effect on FE and power production. Poor boy dyno test jack up rear wheels. (RWD of course) start engine transmission in high gear set throttle for 3,000 rpm. crankcase at atmospheric pressure. Pull 8" hg vacume into crancase. RPM gain about 50 RPM. (small but measurable) aerodynamic drag on crankshaft is reduced. Shape leading and trailing edge of counter weight of crankshaft into the shape of an airfoil for further gains. Pulling more then 8" will produce more gain but will exceed the design limitations of seals and gaskets.

Dynovalve Works

Yes, I had a dynovalve installed on my 2003 toyota camry, and i measured my mpg before and after. i got 24 mpg on hwy before and 32 after. i can tell the difference. so i got another one on my wife's 2006 corolla. i also got very good results but did not measure before and after since i already knew it was good. i am pastor of a church in san diego -churchofsandiego dot com, and i have two other people in my church that have had dynovalves installed. they both are very happy with them and saving money on gas. the thing that amazes me most about this is that it works so well and so few know about it. why isn't cnn talking about this?

I have read that if you pull more than 10''Hg in the crank case the oil pump will start to cavitate a lot.
