The device adds heat to the fuel system so that all petrol is vapourised and used by the engine.Most cars waste between 15-20% of petrol because it fails to turn into vapor.In some vehicles fuel use has dropped more than a quater.It costs $258.And will not void any warrenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a generic product that they say can be fitted to all fuel injected petrol engines without any other adjustments is a fairly big call.I’m far from an expert in fuel injection and engine tuning, but if something like this did actually work then it would have to have a detrimental effect on either engine longevity or the computer trying to figure out WTF is going on – and knowing the BA ECU it would more than likely detect something was up and go into limp mode. That’s a sure way of saving fuel if you can’t drive the f*cking thing I guess. Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To recoup that sort of money from fuel bill savings, I reckon it'd take a fair bit of driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit though - nice and simple in designScootIf it sounds too good to be true it probably is......there must be some sort of tradeoff here? less power as you've added heat to the inlet charge and therefore reduced it's volume?
