Thats a good link Matt.
Puts an end to this mystery really quick.
I was talking to my mates dad, Vic from VicTerry automotive in Burleigh, he said the best fuel saving device you could install is a bigger spring for ur throttle return
😂

I work with a bloke that makes & sells plastic versions of the vortex fuel savers & he has managed to talk a few guys at work into buying them. These guys will tell you that they work (as if they'd say otherwise). These guys all drive fuel injected cars that have the "vortex" placed in the intake system prior to the plenum. My question is how the hell does a single vortex enter the plenum then divide into 4, 6 or 8 smaller vortexes to go down the intake runners where the fuel is injected right at the last minute before it enters the combustion chamber.
Sorry guys, been thinking about this for a while.
Cheers

The yellow ones are just strong magnets...
and it seems that No one told the people who make these that petrol cannot be magnetised.... lol
Even if it could be magnetised...
what difference would it make???
Alloy head - alloy pistons...
it might stick to the valves unless they are cast or stainless steel..
lol
use a steel pipe and it wouldn't move at all...lol

Most cars are bought and sold largely due to their fuel economy figures. Car makers spend shitloads of money trying to get more power and torque form less fuel as well as trying to get their cars under the emissions standards. Why would they do that if it was all down to sticking a magnet on the fuel line
Aftermarket engine tuners spend ages working on on polishing intakes and flow testing ports, trying to get air into an engine. Why would you put a fan in there that A: restricts the port, and B: claims to work by spinning the air around in a less direct path to the engine. But would it produce much or any swirl? Shops tie streamers on fans in the summer and the streamers dont all turn one way. They go straight out.
When it comes as standard equipment on a car, then you can do research and see if it works. Until then, you're a fool to buy one.
I guess you could glue a bit of felt to the magnets and use it to clean your fishtank. Dont know what to do with

If your real concerned about fuel savings, just tie some string from the throttle pedal to your right testicle.
cheap and effective 🙂
