Corvr6 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Or so they say. :wink: Has anyone actually tried one of these fuel saver pro's? http://www.fhjd.biz/default.asp If you read the FAQ and Test results bit it seems like it may actually work in some cases. Saving fuel and reducing emissions is not top of my priority list,but if there are performance boosts as well then I would be interested. With offers like buy 4 get 2 free,it might be worth trying it if 6 people are interested. They are normally $89.95(£49.63) each, + $6.95 / order, but the offer would work out to about £34 each plus maybe a couple quid local postage. I'd be interested in trying it out for £34. 8) Anyone else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth 0 Posted January 26, 2004 I'm Convinced.... so if you get enough people then i'll have one. £34 is nothing really if its true what it says..... worth a try anyway :) let me know how you want me 2 make payment n how much exactly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Excuse me for being cynical... http://www.wcpo.com/wcpo/localshows/don ... 187a7.html Bung the name into google and look for yourselves. Chances are you'll see little or no benefit for your £34. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 26, 2004 yup, cynic No.2 here too... :wink: :lol: If you listen to their blurb in the intro to the video, it's just a magnet that they strap around the fuel line "to polarise the fuel molecules".... :| Utter pants... :roll: :lol: This is, of course, only my opinion :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawhide 0 Posted January 26, 2004 You'd think that someone with the budget of VW for R&D might have looked into this if there was anything in it. Snake oil.. get your snake oil here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exturbo2003 0 Posted January 27, 2004 had one before tho a differant make, and it made no differance to my 18mpg van over 2 years still got within 10 miles consistantly every tank :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corvr6 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks for all the replies so far,it would be very interesting to hear from anyone who has tried this particular make. I would be very surprised if vehicle manufacturers don't already build a similar device into there fuel systems,but don't draw attention to it thus enabling them to credit the engine/build quality as reasons for improvement. The company claims to have sold millions in over 70 countries,been selling them for over 10 years,offer a 30 day money back guarantee, have had less than 1/1000 returned. It is possible to spend well over 10 times this amount trying to gain 10% on your BHP,exhaust,air filter,etc.(with no other benefits) I don't believe the test results apply to all vehicles but it may just apply to mine or yours.There is risk in everything,I am prepared to risk £34 to find out. So far then, Gareth and myself. 4 more and I can place the order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 27, 2004 I'd be interested to know how aligning your fuel molecules in your fuel line is supposed to help combustion. By the time those fuel molecules have sat around in the injectors waiting to be squirted into a cylinder they'll be well jumbled again (and that's assuming for just one second that it's possible to align non-ionic, non-ferrous molecules using a magnet, which is also questionable). I mean, good luck to you guys who try it, but the scientist in me says it can't work.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted January 27, 2004 sorry guys but these things are absolute crap if we all wanted to save money on fuel etc we wouldnt buy corrado's and all be driving the new generation TDI's just my 2p's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth 0 Posted January 27, 2004 ok Guys thanx for the posts which have brought questions about the claims the site makes to the forfront of my mind :oops: so i have e-mailed 1 of the labs that the site says tested the product and hope i will get a reply. Sorry corvr6 im backing out until im more convinced...... sorry again corvr6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 27, 2004 Agreed, somethings are too good to be true, and that is no exception. Think about it logically.....27% economy boost for £34? If you want better economy, ease off the gas pedal a bit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 27, 2004 reminds me of a thread on pvw about the ecotec valves :lol: Yeah, another 35bhp, economy boosting, engine smoothing device....for 30 quid. What ever! The worrying thing is Stealth have endorsed them and sell them..... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corvr6 0 Posted January 27, 2004 No worries Gareth 8) ,I have to admit my own sceptism has increased somewhat, having only had one positve response to this post. I would really of liked to hear from someone who had actually tried these successfully. I was prepared to try one out for £34,but no more than that and with the lack of positve sentiment then I guess I should forget about it and put the money towards more trusted methods of performance increase. :wink: Only another £300 or so and I could get chipped....hmmmm. :evil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolster 0 Posted January 28, 2004 I think the £34 would be better spent on a chocolate teapot/fireguard an ashtray for the motorbike t1ts on a bull a bag of bent nails ... Sceptic? ... who me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 28, 2004 right, I think we're all in agreement then, the only unfinished business is where I have to send my cheque to get one of Bolsters chocolate tea pots, how much did you say they were? :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jedi-knight83 0 Posted January 29, 2004 seriously enough though.... £300 on a chip from AmD would be better as they give you more torque and actually give you a bit more MPG (according to those who have had it done) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
