In my home country you see these magnets in most workshops...lots of brands and prices..however they don't work...most of my mates who had them experienced no difference, well some experienced minimal difference. Better to spend ur $$ on other justifiable mods.

When you burn fuel, doesnt it set of a chain reaction anyway to blow everything up. The only way to minimise the amount of fuel burnt is to burn less fuel, rearranging its structure wont change the volume you burn, it might make the fuel burn more efficiently but there are so many hydrogen and oxygen molecules in there packed together with very strong bonds, the higher the octance the stronger the bonds i believe, that putting them all in uniform structure i dont think will make any difference when we ignite the crap out of them anyway.

I quote this from the ebay link,

"The fuel saver accelerates combustion and burns more of the fuel that is normally exhausted as un-burned pollution."

Ok, yes it might burn more of the fuel because of its uniform stucture, but it still burns the same amount of fuel, hence doesnt save any petrol already used.

I've got one on my car atm. For the $40 I paid, I figured I'd give it a go. Installed it about 3 months ago and although it may be coincidence, an issue with "hunting idle" stopped.

Other than that, I've seen no benefit to having one of these. I got the same fuel consumption etc etc. Now that I'm promted, I'll remove mine soon to see if the hunting idle problem comes back and I will let you know what happens. :P

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
