ross replied:

Why havent the big car companies picked it up?
Why dont the RAC and NRMA recommend them?
Why dont the Army/govt use them?

Once you decypher all the pseudo scientific babble you will find its just another carpet baggers scam.None of the other gadgets ever worked why should this one?
The companies that flog these are experts on consumer law and know just how much they can push before overstepping the mark.
Sure they offer a money back guarranty but most of the mechanicaly naive customers who buy them dont take off their rose coloured glasses until the guarranty runs out.

In the past there was the Pogue carb which gave about 200-300mpg it is said & other devices to vaporise petrol with heat & water vapour.
Some of these seemed to work but IT IS AGAINST THE LAW IN THE US to run a motor on an air fuel ratio less than about 15 to one which is the standard that most carbies handle.
The recent breakthroughs, if you call it that, are multi valve motors with variable valve timing allied to EFI systems but still there has only been a marginal improvement in miles per gallon/litre.
Many inventots in the past have suddenly shut up or disappeared and big oil controls the US govt and their implants such as Bush & Cheney are not about to open the legislation to make any breakthrough legal and insurable.
A quick look under the bonnet over there would result in your unapproved system being sidelined.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww come on guys you're all just a little cynical.....I wish I was in your undies.. I've wet mine laughing. I was offered a gizmo that was guaranteed to give me a boost in K/watts of "at least 20%" at $1200... a snap. When I asked if I could get a refund if it didnt work they went silent...As everyone else has said.. if it worked as well as claimed car manufactures would be using them. Maybe Choice could buy them and test them and let us know the results...

Contrary to your belief the car manufacturers today are not interested in after market products that prolong the life of their vehicles simply on a cost basis, they already get what they want from the vehicles so you will buy a new one sooner and lets face it the rest of a car usually falls apart before the engine fails
That view is only a personal guess I don't have any fact to back that up
But After approaching large Ausie manufacturers with dyno figures and a deal they can't refuse they won't even test any fuel saver units, we don't know why maybe they have been burnt with "snake oil" before ( Peter Brocks polarizer)
But now the good news just last week we were approached by Peugeot and kia to supply 600,000 units for their o/seas assembly plants they have been testing for 8 months

(2) RACQ refuse to even test any fuel conditioners even if we pay, even if we don't pay
Go figure that better still ring them and ask them
But the question still remains why do their agents fit and swear by our fuel savers?

(3) Army and governments are a difficult nut to crack We pass (too hard)

(4) Manufactured in Queensland on the sunshine coast we have a 750 sq metre factory with cnc lathes running 24 hours a day trying to keep up supply
The licence to manufacture was purchased from prozone uk

Any visit to our factory to participate in watching the snake oil being boiled is welcome
