out.Of course, it doesn't work, except for the little LED lights on it.

It's lookupable http://www.fueldoctorusa.com/how-it-works/ .
If I had made the site, I would have at least included some animated
gifs or some flash... I take that back. I now see there is a bit of
flash on the site.
Well, I suppose you have to give the kid credit. For a fraud, he's (I
couldn't find his name with a short search) constructed a professional
looking site. If he can get some exposure, lots of stupid people will
send him money.

The idea is pretty lame, though. Phony MPG enhancers are as old as
gasoline. You would think he could come up with something original.
OR, perhaps promote something with genuine value.

There really are some things that DO improve fuel economy: Tire
pressure sensors, reminders of various conditions, weight reducers,
GPS systems that locate cheap gas, and I could go on.

I found this:

Sounds like a cheap capacitor low pass filter.

As an electrical designer, let me assure you that if their is a need for
for stable power to the control system, it would have already been built
into the module in the form of active transistor voltage regulators, not
some cheap passive low pass filter. I call cow doo doo on this one.

That filtering is built into the ECM. Toss a scope on the outputs that
power the various sensors and you will find clean power. Just another
scam artist.

And speaking of snake oil, I post the following for its hysterical value"

The head jerk who posted this went as

""Airplanes don't fly, you don't talk on a wireless phone, the earth is
flat,
your all brain dead LMAO!

You have not shown anything of proof of what you say. You never graduated
from High School. You are uneducated and stupid. You are a waste of human
life.

I hope we meet if you live in my area.... I know you are no mechanic....

I will put up $10,000 if you can give real proof that we are wrong!! Not
just a bunch of BS but independent proof!! Show me a web page where
studies have been performed. A school, an independent study another words.
Post it here!!

Prove that all the information on the net is wrong. Do that and everyone
who reads your posts will believe you. If not they are going to believe
the thousands of people who know....

Just do it.. Don't talk crap. Put up or shut up. $10,000 cash!! You can
buy a lot of gas with that.

So anyone who is following this, you will see these people show you
NOTHING!

Now watch these UNEDUCATED MORONS USE FOUL LANGUAGE AS A COVER UP LOL!!
