Fuel line magnet.

Was bought one of them supposed fuel savers with money back 90 day return. Can someone tell me or provide a picture as to where i should fit it? It says to put on fuel line as close as poss to the injectors but dont know where to start. Help please i have an LCR 05.

Best place to put that is in an envelope, with a note saying 'please send back my money, I had a momentary lapse in common sense' and send it to them.

Did you get some magic beans with that? Sent it back, it's bollox. Fuel does not contain metal particles so there is no way that a magnet can do anything to change the composition or properties of the liquid in a way that will affect how it burns inside your car's engine!

Nice choice of football team btw. Toon Army!

Cheers lads was bought as a gift by my girlfriend. Would be nice to know whats what and where in my engine bay anyway though. Anyone?

find the fuel rail (can't miss it, it's big square & silver, goes across the front of the engine bay)

Stick your magnet on the rubber pipe that connects to it

then type the letter asking for the refund

Right or left hand side mate, may as well try it out as i have already got the engine cover off. Then ill post it back next week.

The only car that needs a magnet on the fuel line is a Mk1 Golf that hasn't had a new stainless fuel filler neck fitted

They used to rot right through, sending cornflaked sized bits of crap through the system! Nice.

MORK, is it the left or right hand side as you look at it? And is the oil dipstick just in front of it or am I the dipstick? Heh Heh!

Forget about installing it and do that instead

Stick it on any pipe it wont make jack difference anywhere

A guy came to the door at work a few years ago offering to install magnets on all of the gas lines feeding our ovens in order to make drastic reductions in our gas consumption.

He skipped past the "science bit" and went straight to the practical demonstration, showing us how a disposable lighter flame got hotter when he put a magnet round the lighter (and then held it a bit closer to your hand than before).

Strangely, he didn't get an order
