Just wondering if anyone had heard of this product? Does it work or is it another snake oil sales tactic?? If you read the pages, it almost seems like one of those "stick a magnet on your fuel line and get 5 more mpg" scams.

cannot see how extra filter would give increase mileage, was someone selling magnetic vinyl circles that went on tank to give increase-yea right. friend drove fuel truck, his sup. used to put fuel motor honey in fueltanks trucks would run crappy, would mix JP5(jet-a) in to clean it out. he drove m-f, miami to jax and back, by tuesday engine return to normal.

That is not an extra filter. It claims to condition the fuel.

I've never seen one of these supported by real data....just hocus-pocus.

:eek: $500?? wow.. there is another one out there that claims the same thing, but its only $200.. lol..

in my opinion this sort of goes in the same catagory as those tornado thingees.. I personally have yet to see any hard data or know anyone that has seen benefits of it. I would imagine if something like this existed that most of the vendors on here would be selling them.
