What do you think?????

What do you think of this? Snake oil or is there merit in it? I might give it a go since it is not too expensive, but why pay good money if it is useless.

a load of bulls dangly thing mate, you tell me how a magnet can inprove mpg, more hp, etc, better exhaust may give more hp, or a chip things that are proven zippy.

It isn't even as good as snake oil. At least that would burn in the engine!!

Don't waste your money. Diesel isn't magnetic and doesn't carry a charge so won't be affected by this - no matter how big the magnet is. Forget the testimonials and positive ebay feedback. Some folks will believe anything - especially if they have already paid good money for it.

Cheers

And bear in mind the ebay responses are nearly all at point of receipt - no time to test....some of his 12 negs do seem to be more realistic

I have no experience of magnets on cars whatsoever and am unfamiliar with the magnetic properties of fuel......

However, I've started to put a hydrogen system on my T2........ cells are in, just need to fit the control gear. Then a nice long trip to see if it actually works. For those with questions, its something which a colleague of mine and I designed, we do know it doesn't work on EFi petrol engines, tests with diesels have been encouraging, however, no proof as yet, so doing that next week hopefully.
