any engine tweaks to lower gas consumption?

[Alpha_One]

seen this one in tsikot.com, dont know who invented it but it should work very well.

Ohhhhhhh yes.

[wax]

I just recently tried installing a device on my diesel engine. It was recommended by a friend who actually tried it himself. The product is called Magnetizer. It is a US product and what it does is align the particles in the fuel for better combustion. It is attached to the fuel line between the injection pump and the injectors. The closer to the injectors, the better the result. I noticed almost immediately positive results to my engine. The engine runs smoother and the response is great.

I know, you'll all be sceptic, but I was too before I tried it. My friend offered me to try it for free and I am pretty happy with the results.

Just me.

I know you can attach a magnet to your oil filter, this does work. But aligning particles in the fuel? what particles?

[mazdamazda]

align the particles?

what kind of particles?

[wax]

I'm talking about the fuel particles. Fuels are composed of a set of positive and negative charged molecules. Fuels are not actively interlocked with oxygen during combustion, thereby causing incomplete combustion.
Ionizing these particles will result better combustion thus will result less hydrocarbon smog, better mileage and engine efficiency.

By putting a strong, positive charge into the fuel, the fuel burns more completely, and the engine's power is increased.

:lol: hydrocarbons are non-metallic and non-magnetic. They CANNOT be aligned or "ionized" by a magnet on your fuel line. And even such ionization is worthless once the fuel has passed at high speed through the fuel rail and has been passed through the injectors, as these molecules become un-ionized due to vibration and speed. As for fuel "not interlocking" with oxygen... come ON... Modern ICE (internal combustion engines) burn 99% of the fuel they are fed. That's near perfect combustion.

I read this article already even before trying it. As I said, I was also sceptic but since I can try it for free, I've got nothing to lose. Regardless, it worked for me.

I am not trying to convince anybody because that is not my job. I am just sharing.

AGAIN, JUST ME.

[yebo]

naunahan ako dun sa block of wood under the accelerator pedal nyahahahaha!

magnet sa fuel lines? ang alam ko kaya may magnet sa filter to catch rust particles before it goes to clog the filter, pero not to "magnetize and align" the fuel molecules. it's one of those fuel saving device scams floating around, does not work, no scientific basis, pure horse dung invention. okay, let's ASSUME that the fuel is magnetic. so pag na-convert na to vapor by the carb or after being sprayed by the injection nozzle into a fine mist they remained aligned? naaaah! and who says it has to be aligned for oxygen to properly react with it? some inventor who simply says so so he can earn your money! yeah right.

Actually, wax, the best way for you to test this is:

Cut open an aluminum can, or anything that will fit around the device and won't melt. Wrap it in insulation and put it around the device.

Fill up your tank and record mileage and fuel use every day by topping it off again each night. Keep a record of your route, traffic conditions, kilometers run and fuel needed to refill the tank to the brim. Use the same gas station each night, and the same pump. Do this for a month.

During that month, have your wife or significant other remove the device each night and then put the cover back on again, with or WITHOUT the device at random, and have her record which days you ran without the device, WITHOUT telling you. This way, you will not know when the device is attached, and you will drive the same way each day.

This way, at least, you will see if it actually does anything.

I'm betting you will see a wide variance in your consumption with NO relation to whether or not you have the device attached.

- tune-up regularly
- increase tire pressure (around 32-34psi cold)
- retard timing by 2-3 deg from the stock recommended setting and use regular unleaded fuel
- lean out your A/F mixture just as Khaos does for P6,000 (this can be bad for your engine in the long run though).
- lighten your car of unnecessary weight add-ons
- make sure your a/c system and electrical system is running well not straining or putting load on your engine.

diba retarding timing is a fuel consuming

[niky]

Advanced timing will cause a gain of 1-3 hp, BUT wil require you to use high octane (e.g.: expensive gas), and as with most power modifiers, will cause a slight increase in fuel consumption. Retarding will lower power and will save you some gas. But if you do lean out your carb, retarding the timing will be a good idea.

try using hydrogen gas instead of air to inflate your tires, it will lighten the weight of the tire. the tire center in westgate alabang (behind Total gas) does it, P50.00 per tire ata. my accord has a donut spare tire, factory supplied na coz US model.

i too play with the A/C switch pag heavy traffic and my thermostat is set at comfort cool lang.

iniba ko driving habit ko.. and tumaas mileage ko it was 8km/L on my 4d56 gen2 local pajero.. gulat ako im doing a lil more than 12 na ngayon yehey..

and yung lancer gsr kong matic invecs 2.. nakaka 5.5 noon.. ngayon ay naka pag more than 11km/L nagulat ako lalo na sa lancer... but irerecomputer ko uli lahat.. hahahah

[KALAMPAG]

May nabasa ako sa net... un oil level din daw wag masyado puno (upper level) for fuel economy tska wag naman below the lower level - bad for engine of course.

That's nitrogen gas. There's a thread on it buried somewhere.

If you live in Alabang, the Tire Center will do free refills as long as you bring your original receipt.

So far, I'm happy with the performance.

wow! this thread is truly helpful, I almost bought the Magnetic along the Fuel Line thing! Somebody offered me that device and I almost got convinced about the idea. Taas na kasi ng GAS! The gadget is calle Super FUEL MAX! i guess it's no help in saving gas after all. might as well improve my driving habits! Thanks guyz!

[AC]

tip ko po sa mga naka matic.. wag po tuloy tuloy apak ng gas.. pag twing nasa 2t rpm na po.. bitaw muna gas.. for.. siguro half a second lang para po mag shift sa higher gear.. para masmatipid sa gas.. i duno if it will work for everyone.. but it works realy good for me

[pitbullz]

asan na nga ba uli yun acetone thread? di lumilitaw when i did a searc for 'acetone'...ma PM nga si ghost hunter. sya ata yun naglalagay nun sa oto nya.
