ive seen these strong magnets on ebay which strap onto the fuel line. the magnet is supposed to do something to the fuel to improve fuel economy, has anyone tried them out or are they just a there are comments on the sellers page from buyers to say they work an there not expensive but id only be worried about them damaging the engine or something is all if anyone has info on it id like to no

I Have a few of them - rattling around the boot - never got around to installing them..I doubt they work - if you want I'll hang on to one for you and you can have it at the next meet.

they're so good that all the car manufacturers are now fitting them to their production cars to lower emissions. Oh no - wait - they aren't.

I'm not so sure, if you combined them with go faster stripes you'd have some machine.

I was given a few of them from my last work place - they work well - as magnets..

Haven't combined them with go faster stripes yet - I think it might nullify the saving on petrol..
