It seems I remember reading a thread on this topic a while back....The Harbor Freight flyer just arrived today. Just prior to filing it in file #13, I flipped through it. This Planet Friendly Fuel Master will increase my fuel milege 11.6%! I'm just wondering how many of these babies you think I should pick up? It certainly won't take long to recover my $12.99 investment! Seriously, what principle do these gadgets claim to operate by? For anyone interested, it is lot#36098. Needless to say, I'm not buying any. All kinds of smart remarks come to mind but, I guess I'll keep them to myself. Thanks, Glenn F.

From what I have heard on this is:
This is a magnet, by putting it over the fuel line, it is supposed break the fuel molecules up more evenly so the fuel will atomize better for better fuel economy and better power.

That makes sense. What would work even better would be to duct tape a couple of crystals to the line, before and after the Fuel Master, then put a little pyramid over all three to keep them charged up and working at maximum efficiency.

Another fuel saving tip I picked up from this forum is to put larger tires on your back wheels so that most of your driving is down hill. The savings from that alone have allowed me to buy so many copper anti-arthritis bracelets that I look like a 16th Century Japanese soldier when I take my shirt off. And the arthritis is pretty much totally gone now except for the pain.

Hi Glenn, I can think of three ways Fuel Master could work as a product to make money for the seller: 1. Like prayer. Fuel Master gets the credit if any improvement is noticed (or suspected) but the user feels responsible if there is no change.

2. Embarassment, uncertainty, or laziness prevents the purchaser from seeking a refund. Harbor Freight's "Satisfaction Guaranteed" policy works best when you are satisfied. If you're not, you have to jump through a few hoops to get your money back. That may not be everybody's definition of satisfaction, but it works for HF. 3. Purchasers decide that the device works, based on no evidence whatsoever. This is the basis of virtually every "alternative" belief system, pseudo-science, and area of para-normal research in the world, so it's good enough, apparently, for tens of millions of our fellow Americans. In other words, Fuel Master works because I believe it works, please keep your skepticism to yourself, have a nice day.

I think I'll buy a Fuel Master and subject it to a controlled test, with and without, to measure the fuel savings. It seems easy enough to use, especially if, as the ad says, you don't have to splice it into the fuel line, but only "strap it onto the fuel line" to let it do it's magic. I have a hunch I won't be satisfied with the results, so I'll hold onto the receipt. All the best, Stan

Glenn,
50 years ago I had a paper route and a fellow carrier told us about the easy money he was making.
Every week he would get a dollar for adding gas to a customers car when no one was around.
After amonth he was given 5 dollars to stop and to not tell any adults.
So what was the scam? The fellow got unbelievable miliage for a month. The next month back to normal.Meanwhile he spent Hours trying to trouble shoot what happened to his magic mileage master!

I think they work on the Transmonglifier electro magnetic principle. Seems like I remember hearing that the ETD used a similiar setup but it has been much refined since then. A flux capicitor has been added. LOL

Actually looks like the old Cow Magnet setup only more convient.

In the 1950's, there were many "gas savers" on the market. I remember my brother stating that he had put so many of them on his car that every twenty miles or so he had to stop and drain some gas out of the tank or it would start to overflow.

I think it works on the embarrasment factor. If you buy it you will be too embarrased to admit you fell for a scam, and will tell everyone how great it is.

Kind of reminds me of the old brylcream commercial that showed the georgous babe coming out of the tube when you took the cap off. LOL

I recently saw an opertunity to join a multi level marketing deal that was all about some fuel saver pellets.

They appeared to look like rounded alfalfa pellets that you add to your gas tank to release a secret enzyme that will extend your milage.

Even had testimonials stating that by the third tank they were using much less gas.

I would think so, after a cup of those things started plugging up the filters it would run lean for a while.

The big deal was to get everyone you know to sign up as a distributor.

Pyramid scheme.
