Has anybody used/got fuel magnets or fuel type savers on their vehicle????.
Do they actually work??

These are the things that you put on the fuel lines and they say that they "align the fuel molecules" e.t.c. ??

I have never tried them but by all accounts they dont improve fuel economy the ony thing they improve is the sellers bank balance :biglaugh:

These things are as useful as +30bhp engine chips, fuelsavers, chocolate fireguards and dare I say it, the Prime Minister.

A good friend of mine always says "buy cheap, buy twice". There's no such thing as a cheap engine mod. without sounding too harsh, stop skimping and you'll have no more issues.

someone once tried to show me that fuel magnets do work by holding a magnet next to a lit fag lighter. as he did this the flame did get bigger. i tried it myself but nothing happened.

Already one step ahead of you my friend.

I've managed to secure a bulk purchase order of 10,000 units at a cost of £2.99 and half a jaffa cake.

That works out to an increase of 55,000 bhp :approve:
