Well, as some of you might remember a couple of months ago I was testing that Tornado Fuel Saver product. I didn't really think it would work for diesels but you have to try things to make an judgement/opinion on it. So since money wasn't a factor I bought one. It was product # KI-60, which is for the Duramax diesel. Here are my findings:


1.) Noticed a quicker pickup from a dead stop. - A POSITIVE.

2.) When getting on the throttle and going through the gears (WOT), I noticed that the engine seemed to starve for air or something. - A NEGITIVE.

3.) As for mpg, didn't really notice any improvements. Maybe a 1 mpg increase at best but other factors could have cause that. - A NEGITIVE.


Wish I could of done a dyno test with and without the product to see if I would have got different numbers. So, based on my opinion and test, I don't think that this product is worth it and the $55 I spent. Not a real big deal since the company offers a 120 day money back. Maybe for a gasser w/ a carb but not for our diesel rigs.

So test is complete. Don't waste your $ or your time. I did it for all of you.

FYI, I will be testing fuel additives next. See a post started by LarryJewell here: http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32022

Thanks for results I have seen these things on the shelf at a local truck shop here, and now I know to stay away

once again i commend you for taking the time to test the product for us all. have a good one.

Bodysurfer,

Even though we had a lot of fun picking on you for even bringing this up in the first place, I have to commend you for having the gumption to buy one and test it. :thumb:

Thanks for being the guinea pig. :ro)

Thats a GREAT example of a good product review.

Short, too the point and main points are in bold for easy review.

I was thinking maybe you could set it on the bar and use it to seperate the different kinds on peanuts...

Thanks for spending the time and money to do the testing! :ro)

Bodysurfer, thanks for the update... I finally saw MIKE L. , got the 'tts'converter/ats cluthes...what a differece!!

Thanks Bodysurfer
I had one on my old truck, a 99 Silverado 6.0. After about 500 miles of various driving situations, I knew I had been had by the good folks at Tornado.-:t I didn't see any diffence in anything. I guess I should have coated it with some snake oil.:D

To everyone who has posted a comment:

You all are VERY welcome. I like testing products and get REAL results. At least now we have some REAL/USER TESTED results on this product.

Take Care All !



LATER!

AWSOME review. Keep up the good work.

I was probably one of the ones laughing when you said you were going to try this thing, but, I am now glad you did because now we know for sure not to get one.

thanks again.

What he said:exactly:

I will add that you get your $$$ back and it didnt get injested by your turbo so you had good outcome regardless of the results!
