Magnets on the fuel line intake
I would like to inquire if any Audi drivers in this forum have
installed magnets on their fuel line intake. It is an old idea that comes from the second world war when the Brits were putting those on their Hurricanes and Spitfires to boost them up against the german warplanes. The RAF also indicated that they were also acheiving fuel economy. Even the USAF did install them on their Mustang. The germans were putting magnetic rods inside the fuel intake and this would reduce the amount of black fumes coming out of their engine exhausts making them less likely to be seen. There are lots of websites selling them in the UK or Germany, Even Jacques Calvet (former Peugeot-Citroen president) has once said that motors will be improved with proper use of magnetic technology. In some other car forums there is much controversy about these since I have seen writers insulting others abou this issue which I believe is worth gathering facts from the largest amount of trials. My own experience now is that I have installed two magnets from Magnofuel in Germany on the plastic tube before the fuel pump and my car which is an Audi 80 with a 1.9 L TDi engine has seen dramatic acceleration improvements in the low revs. This is important for this car since it was lacking punch and now it is quite decent in ciry traffic.
