I fitted a similar item to a directors jag at another place I worked the instructions
said fit the Item to the fuel line and monitor the fuel consumption for 3 months if
no noticeable results are achieved reverse the item and remonitor for 3 months
if no noticeable results are achieved alter the position moving it closer to/away
from the fuel pump and remonitor for 3 months if no noticeable results are achieved
reverse the item and remonitor for 3 months if no noticeable results are achieved
alter the position moving it closer to/away from the fuel pump and remonitor for
3 months

so basically you keep moving it every 3 months till you either get results/ sell the car
or get fed up and bin it

Wait isn't that how feng shui works except you pay someone to
rearrange your furniture


this director was given this magnet thing or so he said probably just
wouldn't admit to buying it
I was tempted to fasten it to a water or brake pipe instead just to see if it
gave any improvement but everyone wanted to see it fitted
I never got to know the results as I left not long after
