I'm the ultimate sceptic- you can't convince me these are real- the manufacturers would be onto them in a second, as fuel economy is a big selling point.

I have a few problems with the way the"proof"is submited.
Firstly something that has the potential to revolutionise the motoring industry deserves bit more testing than a couple of short drives in diesel landcruiser driven by their own logistics manager and then presented as scientific proof.Normally something as important as this would be tested on dozens of cars by independant and well known groups such as the RAC or NMRA.
Secondly the testimonials of "satisfied" customers can hardly be called scientific.
Many of the statements reek of the placebo effect,for example how can you judge the effectiveness of the product by "my foot doesnt seem to have to press so hard on the pedal"or something to that effect.
Thirdly after all the wonderful claims alluding to the product the tiny little disclaimer in the bottom left hand corner opens up a whole page denying that they guarantee their gadget will actually work on your particular car.
If a gadget like this could actually work then companies like GM ,Ford,and Toyota would be clambouring over each other for the lic to use it on their vehicles.
We seen it all before,Brockys fuel polariser,HiCLONE /Cyclone,water injection and the car that ran on water and the list goes on

Hi Dennis,

I would have thought that the economy would have been the easiest thing to measure. Before and after consumption figures would be by far the most objective assessment of whether these things actually work.

I'm also curious as to whether these things actually measure up. Anything that can help save some dollars at the bowser has got to be a good thing .... if it actually delivers.

Gees... Does your mate also believe that;

1) Elvis is alive and working in Burger King.
2) Iraq HAD WMD and could use such in 45 minutes.
3) Landcruisers are better than Patrols (I'm bleep -stirring now!)

The facts are that these devices were tested a few years back by the CSIRO for ACA. They ran comprehensive tests on these products and found that;

1) There was no difference at all to the fuels chemical or electromagnetic properties.

2) There was no measurable difference in performance on 4 different test engines, thre fuel injected and one a norm-asp diesel.

3) No credible scientific or statistical information was given by the manufacturers of these products.

4) All of these companies were in breach of the trade practices act and some had been in breach with trading standards over misleading advertising.

Two things that alarm me about these products..... First is the laws of which they continue to operate and the second are the dumb f*cks that buy them thinking they are getting better performance - All they do is give these people money to continue operating.
