Fuelsaving Devices debunked

An interesting article. This should upset some of the 'believers' who swear by such devices as a means to improved power or reduced fuel consumption.

An appalling article. If people are allowed and encouraged to read stuff like this, next they will stop believing in Father Xmas and then where will this country be??

Good post that says it all.

I find diesel is best in a diesel and normal oil cleans the engine internally as its black in a short time . Driving at 90klms/hr on the highway rather than 110klms/hr improves my fuel economy and so does taking the roof rack off when not needed .

Yep - all interesting - even though I'm a gadjet man to an extent, I've never been moved to try any of the fuel toys.............
as an aside though, on the subject of scams...... this bloke tells us he has qualifications and experience to burn and his only motivation for all of this is the salvation of mankind...... he even has a page dedicated to contacting him........ and a bio page too....... but unless I've missed it, who the hell is he ? Could his name be "mail2" ? Even forum users here often add their names to posts while heading with a screen name (and we don't claim to be saving humanity from scammers :-o).

Anyone who believes in those devices is either an idiot or never did science at high school.


Another good debunking is the one Popular Mechanics did last year.

One of the devices even caused a fire LOL

Comeon what about the Hi-Flo..?? It swirls the air and therefore makes a better combustion. Combustion was later verified as that of the Hi-Flo marketing people.!

How about water injection then.

That in theory works by increasing the density of the fuel air charge. And not only that cleans the combustion chamber of carbons.

Mind you the EPA didn't like it! remember the old boeing 707's and there trail of black smoke during take off.
That was due to the water injection adding an extra 10% percent of take off thrust!... but carrying the extra fuel to then carry the extra water seemed to even things out again.

But in a car surely water injection is still viable.
