Thread: 300 tdi Fuel Economy - snake oil??

Do you have a picture of the set up of magnets where did you get it from how much and how does it work?

Run a couple more tanks on it and take note of what you get out of the tank...fill up at the same servo and try to keep the driving style the same with the same load i.e if its usually you in the car try keep it as much the same as possible. And same amount of highway/traffic driving.

Then do a test without the system again and see if economy falls.

More info on your set up would be good

My 300tdi used 10l/100k. I have just had the injector pump overhauled as it was leaking and on diesel I get 9l/100k. I have had gas fitted with a good increase in power and on the gas/diesel combo I get 8.5l/100k city driving and approx 8l/100k touring.

I seem to always get 10L/100K but if i could lower this at a low cost i am very interested.

They were from a seller on ebay. Cost me $29.95
I notice now they've just gone up to $39.95!

Anyway, here's the link with the blurb about them:

<Mod edit - Link Removed>

Please note, I don't endorse these units in any way. I'm just reporting the facts as it happened for me...
I placed both units inline clipped onto the plastic fuel line just before the injector pump.
I did try it for a while on 2 injector lines but it made no difference. I asked the seller and he told me to put it before the injector pump.

I have always been sceptical about these kinds of items! And after readingthe site i would need two for my 300tdi and at 39.95 each plus postage that is up too around $90 invested in something which might not work. If it did give me the savings youhave experienced then yes i would get one as it would soon pay for itself.

Have you had any of the mentioned power gain? or less black smoke anything like that? Does the engine run smoother?

Also i am curious as he has ones for Patrols on there for 29.95 what does it matter wouldn't i be able to purchase two of them?

James.

edit: i have just read the site again and 39.95 is for 2 units. So it is an investment of around $50

Hi James,
Yes I am a sceptic too.
Just cant explain the improvement though.
No improvement in power. Slightly smoother at idle. Exhaust smells a bit different too, whatever that means.

And you are getting better economy? as that is my main concern

Like I say, a conservative 1litre per 100km improvement. (from 10l/100 to 9l/100)
Will pay for itself in 3 tanks.
I don't know why the seller lists them for specific brands. I'm guessing they are all the same...
