what about this one?

Q. What type and size of fuel pipe can the 'Easy Fuel Saver' be installed on ?
A. It will work with all types of pipe ! - Metal, plastic or rubber. The 'Easy Fuel Saver' will also fit any diameter of pipe.
Emphasises just how much complete b****cks this is
i.e. the diameter of my fuel pipe is 3 times as wide as the car but it should still fit! according to their ad anyway!
And I'm sure it can handle screw fit and push fit type connectors! (That's sarcasm)
Should be reported to the ASA.
Where are the statistics detailed statistics justify their claims?
I notice there are no pictures or descriptions available.
Sounds like a valve to reduce fuel pressure, which on carb and early FI engines, will cause them to run lean, and on modern FI engines, the ECU will compensate for.
Not to mention add load to the fuel pump wearing it out faster.
There are loads of supposedly magic cheap devices that don't work. It's pretty easy to spot them.
While it used to be possible to increase an engine's output significantly with fairly simple external modifications, modern engines are sufficiently well developed in the factory that it is rarely possible these days to bolt on some cheap mod and get more power or economy. That doesn't stop people selling the most outrageous shite with wild claims about making your car an instant Ferrari-beater...
To get more power out of an engine you need to understand how well engines work to be able to identify the compromises that have been made in the design of your chosen engine and work out how to shift them in favour of more power. This is rarely a straightforward matter, and you tend to lose out in some other area.
Pretty much the only engines that are easy to extract more power from are turbo engines where it is possible to turn up the boost. Whether the rest of the engine components can handle the increased strain is another matter, though.

yes these devices are a load of bumkum.if they really worked,they would have patents on them throughout the world.but a non turbo engine can be made to produce more power.the car companies deliberately give their engines mild mapping to cope with the various quality of fuels around the world.so a good fuel with a remapped chip can prove worthwhile.but not on all engines.
