Be sure to read the product manual! Its a real joke - 'magnetic circuitry'
indeed.

And of course one or more of you knuckleheads out there reading this will
swear you are getting great fuel milege because you too have a magnet
strapped to your fuel line......

If your experience is true, the chances are that being conscious of the need
for fuel economy is making you drive more economically (eg not accelerating
and braking hard alternately) which has been proven to be the biggest saver
of fuel. If fitting magnets really helped things (as proven by lab tests
with controls) then competition would quickly determine that manufacturers
would fit them and trumpet the appropriate claims, possibly dressing them up
in some way to avoid the suggestion of "common or garden" magnets that you
could fit yourself.

I use two of these...one on the fuel line right after the gas tank,
and the other up closer to the engine. I have seen about a 15%
increase in fuel mileage. At first, I didn't think it was working too
well until one of the guys at my local Harbor Freight store who works
on cars told me to make sure they are both installed with the same
magnetic polarity. Sure enough, he was right.

Car manufacturers could put these on their vehicles, but don't to save
on production costs. The "Tornado" is another item that is worth its
weight in gold.

So the joke is on you, L Ron. These things really do work.

And your link to a legitimate and peer-reviewed scientific study
proving that magnets on the fuel line really do improve mileage is
where, exactly?

No? Didn't think so.

The onus of proof is upon he who asserts

Oh this is too good to pass up!
OK, Ill keep an open mind here.
How about that link to a URL that has real proof of improved gas mileage as
a result of using one of these devices.?

May I suggest a magnetic water softener. Same idea, magnets stuck on the
pipes.

Gee! I used to live in a community that provided water from wells. The water haD
very high iron content. Too bad I didn't think about the MAGIC MAGNET!!
