Save fuel now!!!!!!!!!!!!

[100%Bitch]

Just found this wonderful way to save fuel.

In this day and age of disgustingly high fuel prices why not use one of these "proven" fuel saving vortex devices. Easy to fit, then just drive off knowing you're using less fuel than you were and laugh at everybody else who doesn't know about it.

Just imagine how much fuel could be saved by not bothering to fly these useless pieces of tat all the way over from America!!

33% fuel saving , that means I should be able to get 60 mpg out of my petrol C180 and presumsbly drop it two CO2 emission catagories. What am I waiting for ?

Poor attitude, £15 for a strip of metal you have to cut and shape. rubbish

that buyers reply says it all

I would love to see the testing of all the things like this advertised evan like the broquiet fuel catalyst...
Heres a little secret...



they dont work as if they did wouldnt the car manufacturs be fitting them on a new car or even as aftermarket things...if anyone gets a improvment in fuel prove it...there was a lot about this on the truck and driver forum and 2 trucks were tested back to back and they showed nothing after a short time.

Fit 3 of them and drive for free!!

Good luck! :-D

fit 4 and then the petrol station will owe you money!

Would this mean I'd have to keep siphoning the excess petrol out of the ever filling tank? What a nuisance! I think I'll just buy the three and enjoy Roadhog's promise of free motoring.

Hi All

It wasn't all that long ago that we were reading about fuel saving magnets that wrapped around the fuel lines. Whatever happened to them?

They didn't work either..... :-D

I'm with GFP can't wait to get one - wow how come no one else has come up with this device before!!!

 

[Dosco]

Just checked it out I reckon it is a piece of crap jewelry that not even the head bangers would buy, so he thinks "I know lets call it the Tornado and sell it as I fuel saving device, there are plenty of numpty's who will fall for that one"

It's not nice to call me a numpty, just because I bought one of those things. I reckon I'll save a gallon a day.

And, I only paid £128 to get it fitted!

Well when you realised that they didn't work you wrapped them around your wrist and they cured your arthritus!

 

[Tashman]

installation can usually be completed in 5 minutes using only a screwdriver

And, I only paid £128 to get it fitted!

- thats a high rate of labour then!

The idea I believe is to improve the atomization of the fuel by creating this vortex - but this is only really beneficial on systems where the fuel injectors are further back up the intake manifold.
Where the injectors are very close to the valves (as on our mercs), laminar air flow is preferable. All I can see this doing is causing an unnecessary restriction to your air intake (worse at higher rpm when intake manifold air speed is greater).
People spend a great deal of time polishing, gas flowing, porting etc. the pipework the air travels down to remove even slight restrictions to the airs natural passage - this device has just added a big one.
Does anyone remember those Ecotek valves that injected 'agitated' air into the air intake to cause the same effect? They made this weird duck noise and all that happened was you drove around with your car sounding like a frightened mallard.
