WTF Is this all about

What.

More power should mean more fuel as the engine is working harder.

complete BS

Not necessarily. More power can come from greater efficiency at a given load, normally by a more complete fuel burn.

The thing in the OP is a pile of junk though.
 
A friend of mine bought one of these and told me it had improved his fuel consumption on his Honda Prelude. When he showed me, it was attached to the brake vacuum hose!

I didn't have the heart to tell him :)

no, if it is doing what it claims and improving the amount of power extracted from a given amount of fuel then it will need more air.
 
" 1 Yellow Magnetizer (pole S) - for fuel main line, cable ties and detailed instruction sheet. "

But its yellow!... and only has one pole... somehow, that alone is worth a Nobel Prize surely :/

I wonder what would happen if a monopole came into contact with a fuel line? Cant be good surely.

Lmfao, bless him well let him think that.. some idiots do believe any think on the net. :(
 
It's complete garbage, you'd get the same non effect by sellotaping a magnet to it.

However, a mate has been given an additional fuel filter for his Elise which offers similar kind of benefits but also allowing a decatted car to pass an MOT emissions test. I'm pretty sceptical and told him as much, BUT the importers have given out 10 of the devices to various owners and there will be before and after rolling road days after 500 miles to assess the effect. All of this is free of charge so they must be pretty confident in what it does.

Brocquet Fuel Catalyst by any chance? That's a con too: it's a magnet inside the fuel line rather than tie-wrapped to the outside, and has exactly the same effect - none.

Iirc, a lad at work was saying something about getting one of these :p

Will have to speak to him tomorrow, if he actually has bought one...

Ah, a type two: a load of ball-bearings in a sleeve. Also a con. I like the weasel-out though:

Why don’t the OEMs like GM, Chrysler, Ford, Cat., Yamaha, Suzuki, Detroit, etc. implement the Fitch Fuel Catalyst on cars or machines right from the assembly line?

The OEMs don’t typically add parts to the assembly line unless it saves them money or are required to add because of specific regulations. OEMS must meet certain standards set forth by the EPA and other regulatory organizations. When determining MPG window sticker numbers, the EPA requires the automotive OEMs to test on certified fuel such as Indolene. These purest certified fuels are too expensive to mass produce and are NOT equivalent to what consumers purchase at the pump.

Yeah, I just found it odd that they'd go to the expense of sending out 10 units for free (they're over £100 each) and convincing Elise-Parts to pay for two RR days at Emerald to test them.
 
lol, gonna love this:

It looks as if you're going to save some fuel! ;)
 
The principle behind this is used in reducing emissions, so it does actually work!!

Well, this one doesnt work (or creates very little difference in emissions) because it requires a high powered electro magnet and not an ordinary one with no energy going in.
