Cant find the auction now, but they're these magnetic thingamajigs you're supposed to clamp around your fuel lines and it polarises the molecules in your fuel, in theory helping to prevent 'clumping' and increasing your performance and efficiency.

My word, that was a long sentence.

Anybody know if these are BS?

I have actually got one clamped around my penis and it's very good 8)

So far me and Mrs Welly have produced 16 children, each weighed at least 1 stone at birth and my 2 year old daughter (optimax) can easily lift me off the floor 8)

Mmmmmmmm not sure about this one TBH. You can have the same sort of thing on your central heating system to stop the pipes furring up with scale - they seem to work. My ex-wife :cheesy: had one on her Fiesta back in the 80's and she swore :lol: lots and lots :lol: , but she did say that the car seemed better on juice and performance. Read into that what you like :o

Did you notice the quote from EPA? The seller has written the ad in such a way that you believe the biscuit cutter has been tested by them - WRONG!! The EPA have tested A vortex generator, but not this one. Now I wonder what the the one EPA tested looked like - a gingerbread man :lol:

Yeah right! dealers would back out of a Warrenty claim if they noticed you left some unapproved boiled sweets in the glove compartment :lol:

Or charge you for replacing them with fresh, new boiled sweets, only for you to discover they're the same old squishy ones...
