Fuel Saving Magnets???

....And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why the "V" in Shell's V-Power stands for Vole-Power

What about going round corners.





Oh, Bank Voles, I suppose.

That would do it hehe.

For winter driving you may need to import Snow Voles from Europe, and if following directions downloaded from the interweb you may need Root Voles.

You know what, fellow members of the Wild about Britain site... shut up! what the is this? point scoring sparring. rubbish. you people need to grow up, I mean all the sniping...i know some of its good natured ut when in the middle of a thread it kind of ruins it...man. so shut up!

I now see that I have been a miserable git and have missed the point so widely that that it could qualify for the olympic planetary throw competition...!

come on..

Kill me!!!

(Even if we turn a blind eye to reality, and accept that they were clumped in the first place ).

If such devices acually worked, they would already be incorporated as standard by vehicle manufacturers, who would then be able to enhance the performance figures quoted for their vehicles.

However, if you send me £29.99, I will send in return, details of a guaranteed failsafe method of improving fuel economy, which requires no installation work, will improve performance immediately, and for the whole duration of the vehicle's life - which I can safely say, will also be increased as a result.

OK - I'm feeling altruistic. I will let you into the secret for free. - Never fill your fuel tank more than half full - The weight of fuel that you are not now carrying around means that the vehicle needs to do less work, and thus will travel further for a given amount of fuel - Genius!!!

OK, that might be a tad over the top, but performance will be maximised by removing any surplus items that usually travel around in the boot, but which don't really need to be there, and of course ensuring that the tyres are in good order and properly inflated to manufacturers recommended pressures.

Mike.

Need to add, Mike, that you must factor-in the costs of your 50% extra time ( that you should surely place some monetary value on ? ) - that is spent tanking-up as opposed to the next person with a similar vehicle that brims-up at the station.

And also that condensation occurs in a partially-empty tank due to the moisture in the atmosphere condensating-out & sinking to the bottom of the tank & combining with any residues/foreign-particles - (which are also more likely to get in & occur when the cap is twice as frequently removed ) - and have to be physically removed from the fuel-tank.

Magnets? Didn't know petrol contained iron or steel particles.

here is an interesting test on a ferry ship in Europe. ships are massively pollutive. wish him luck.
this forum has some pictures if you want to investigate

Subject: [diy_magnet_use] New test on a ship


A test carried out on two of the four Caterpillar engines installed on an Italian ship is showing me savings well higher than 10%.

The two engines with my magnetic solution installed on board have a power of about 1,500 power horses each. This means, on average a saving of more than 300 liters of diesel oil per day for two engines and of 600 liters for all the four engines.

I conceived The Twin Engines Comparison Test, particularly suitable for fast catamarans, and I believe that this field test this may meet the highest test quality requirements: in fact, all modern fast catamarans have at least two twin engines which work under the same external conditions (load, sea conditions, engine speed, maintenance, type of fuel, etc.). Since the engines are used to be fed by separate tanks, this is the optimal experimental situation in order to compare the performances (consumption and emissions) of the two twin engines when they are subject to all the same conditions, but one.

Once I have signed a contract with this ship owner, I will disclose all the data and the name of the ship.

Best regards,

Paolo

Er, you don't seem to have included, or pointed to, any data to back up these claims whatsoever.

Please try harder, your post is otherwise meaningless.

Sorry, i am trying to contact him again to see if he finished business with the client and have details.
