How to Boost Your Gas Mileage with Magnets

In gasoline, the molecules are oriented randomly... apply magnets, and they will still be oriented randomly! Even if they did induce a change (or charge of some kind as this person states), the molecules would instantly lose any alignment when they left the magnetic field. You will never find someone who can prove with empirical evidence that this even has any effect.. No they're not all being gagged by the government, they just don't exist in the first place.

"A lot of people will think this is a hoax, but it is not...Just Go to google and type in fuel line magnets!"
lol i did and erveryone says its fake and has no effect you dumb shit
not to mention mythbusters busted it and if it was so great why dont we see REAL tv or radio commercials? yeah thats what i thought scam artist

general youtube rule of thumb, any video with a squeaker is nonsense

dumb ass

I heard you have to place the magnets with the south poles against the fuel line. Has something to do with "valence?" Anyhow, the guy said that's how they do it with home heating oil, and it works the same with cars. The video is over on the right, it's called "Installing magnets on your automotive fuel system." Peace!

mythbusters already busted this.....

Mythbusters proved this doesnt work. Are you even old enough to drive?

@Embosan Sadly, there are too many people who are fooled into buying these devices. They allow the manufacturers of these devices to delude them into thinking it works, with elaborate explanations. However, these people don't sit down and try to understand the science behind the claims. They fall for the SCAM and even delude themselves to believe the devices are working because they really want them to work, so they (inadvertently) change their driving habits. Tests prove they don't work.

Try this experiment: you will need a strong magnet and a plastic comb. Turn on your faucet and bring the magnet close to the stream and see if it bends. Next, rub the comb through your hair for about 30 seconds to a minute. Bring the comb close to the stream of water. You'll find that the water bends towards the comb. Why does this happen? Either think about it or research it. Fuel is the same thing. It is non-ferrous and magnets will not affect it in any manner.

@pashka0843 But fuel, in liquid or vapor form can not be affected by magnets. The EPA has done extensive tests on fuel saves, including magnets. Their conclusions state that there is no savings in fuel economy. Most people don't understand magnets and what can be affected by magnets.
Try this simple experiment. Run your faucet and bring a magnet close to the stream of water. Does it bend towards the magnet? Try using a plastic comb and bring it close to the stream, you'll find it bends.

Gasoline is non-ferrous. This means that it's not affected by magnets. Have you ever tried to pick up gasoline with a magnet? It won't work. If it did work, however, the gasoline molecules would stick to the sight where the magnetic field is greatest, causing a blockage in the fuel system. That is not good. Magnets DO NOT affect the alignment of fuel atoms.

u always think ur the smartest person around

Steel is magnetic. Steel breaks down ( reshapes ) magnetic fields. The magnetic field would not penetrate the steel fuel line. Therefore, would have no affect on anything inside the line. This does not work.

Uh your not supposed to put it on the steel as in the video i was putting it on the rubber and your right it wont work on steel.
