Fuel Economy There
are a lot of products on the market claiming improved fuel consumption,
some of which have
undoubtedly enjoyed a degree of success. But others have failed, so if
you are considering a purchase, make sure you get a good money back
guarantee.
Owners of vehicles can
maximise economy by simple maintenance, servicing and driving style.
But of course in the real world mechanical parts and tyres do wear,
driving conditions change and our driving style is not always as
economical as it could be. Domestic and industrial heating systems are
not always serviced as often as they should, and once they are serviced
carbon deposits will immediately start to build resulting in a
reduction of efficiency.
What does Magnetic Fuel Conditioning do? Strapping
a set of magnets to the fuel line is believed to improve the way the
fuel and air mix in the combustion chamber and give a more complete
combustion and reduced emissions. The mechanism is not yet
understood, but you can read some of the research on this site http://sound-ideas.info/9.html
What will be the benefit of fitting an Magnetic Fuel Conditioner to a car? An
improved combustion will provide greater power. This power can be used
to go further (fuel economy) or to go quicker (better performance). The
engine will run cleaner allowing parts such as catalytic convertors,
which can be very expensive to replace, to last longer. As well as
saving money on fuel and parts, fitting an magnetic fuel conditioner
will help the environment by reducing exhaust pollution. What about domestic and commercial heating?
Benefits
claimed by users of the products include not only lower fuel bills but
also greater energy availability, reduced sooting of burners and
reduced emissions. Works on light and heavy oil, natural gas and
propane. This is the most cost-effective thing you can do to reduce Global Warming.
Are they easy to fit?
It
couldn't be simpler. A magnetic fuel conditioner is placed onto the
fuel line and held in position by nylon tie-wraps. There are no pipes to
cut, no electrical connections to make and the only tool required is
some snips or scissors to trim the ends of the ties.
Tests
In
1991, in the UK, the Department of Trade and Industry's testing
laboratory at Warren Spring tested a magnetic device for improving fuel
economy on a Vauxhall Cavalier and found "fuel consumption improved,
power increased and emissions reduced. A Volvo F10 truck tested for
particulate smoke emissions showed a decrease of 15%."
In July 1999, Landrover Monthly magazine tested a magnetic device which gave them a 15% improvement in mpg on a 4.2 V8 Defender.
