my mates a wrx and has recently bought 1 of them fuel savers off ebay for a paltry sum.apparently they save petrol increase performance etc.he showed me today and all it seems too be is 4 small pieces of plastic rectangles with what i presume are magnets inside which you stick too the fuel pipes in the engine bay.....i was just wondering if he was going cause any damamge to the engine by fitting these gimmicks.any body had experience ????

 

not used them but there a waste of time lol

 

Oh dear......snake oil.

No, he won't cause any damage, but tell him to ask BEFORE parting with his money next time.

I'd say anything that doesn't work is bad It can't harm the car though because they don't do anything.

 

yer i couldnt see how a couple shiny bits plastic with magnets in will improve economy and performance lol

 

lol its like them resistors that add 15 bhp or what have ya

 

if you buy 5 you get the 6th one free and you save six times the amount of petrol

 

Tell your mate I've got some magic beans going cheap if he want to make me an offer........

 

How much for the beans?, your trader ranking is zero, so I would rather pay cash on collection !!!.

 

It's alright , you can trust me. If there's a problem, I'll provide a refund by return of post. I asked Scoobynet to reset my trader ranking to zero so don't take any notice of that . And all them crimes I pleaded guilty to was just cos it was easier than going through a trial

 

The first thing to enter your head when you see these amazing devices should be - do the car manufacturers fit these? - if not why not? and you will save money providing you are able to answer these questions correctly

 

he could of bought an electric supercharger for £40 quid as well so he could save fuel and go quicker.

 

Came across these on eBay not so long ago. They looked bollox.

 

Can't belive someone is actually asking this!

Id love some magic beans though!

 

Send your hard earned to IAM Sogullible, PO Bollox12, London, England. I will send the magic beans once funds have cleared in my Western Union account.

 

Well no they dont, but then how many of use change the FPR the Injectors the turbo the internals the IC ect ect.

This and all the others is just bollox, The OP was after advice some of you just take the **** and try selling him magic beans.....

Just remember not everyone is as knowledgeable as the person next to them on a given subject. IE some of you will run rings around me when it comes to cars yet pit me against you with an AV\IT system and see who comes out on top? Would you be happy for me to take the pi$$ probably not!!!

Some of you would be asking where to plug a certain cable yet logically there would only be one place for it to go.

There is no such thing as a dumb question just dumb answers.

 

They are bad for your paintwork as they attract shopping trolleys to your wings !!!

However I can sell you an invisible mobile forcefield for £100 which I can install remotely, if you give me your mobile number I can text you the activation sequence.
