OMFG LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!! It saves gas, increases torque and horsepower. Guys, i think this might be the next big tuning thing! And it's made speciffically for our cars!




I was on ebay and i just noticed this little handy dandy gas ionizer...
The pricipal behind it is that it runs your gas through 5 magnets... Um... yeah, click here

Look, it says it uses "Higest Power Neodyymium Rare Earth Magnets". I love that. They might have well write "This is a huge scam please let us take your money".

Got to love it and I bet theres been a hand full of people that have bought it tongue.gif

to be honest I didn't see ay difference.

i can tell you for sure this won't work... even if you magnetize the fuel, it's liquid. It will go back to the way it was right after you magnetized it.

and you need to actually pump ions in order to ionize something. You can't ionize anything with a magnet.

^ Maybe they wanted to say magnetised instead of ionised?

cause you can't ionize something with a magnet
