looks good, and easier to install than all that veg oil business...

one feedback.
Nonsense, sheer deception !!! Just lights in the car via the cigarette lighter
the blurb..
HOW DOES **** WORK ?
The **** is a new application of an old technology. Basically, it acts like a small battery that helps your car's electrical system perform better. The small device is fitted with a capacitor that once plugged in to your 12v adapter is instantly connected to the car's main electrical system. (capacitors are also commonly used to power the electronic flash in cameras)
The capacitor first charges and then discharges the stored electricity (voltage) when there is a heavy energy demand from the alternator. Heavy energy demand (reduced voltage) is caused by using any electrical accessory in your car including lights, windshield wipers, air conditioning, stereo or any combination of them.
Instead of the alternator and battery having to work overtime, **** SPAM the required voltage to reduce the load on the electrical system from any accessory that is being used. The reduced electrical demand frees up energy that can be better used to deliver a more constant and steady supply of electricity to the spark plugs and ignition system.
The result is a more efficient and complete combustion of the gasoline which will improve you gas mileage and produce cleaner emissions. You will also get better horse power, acceleration, and a smoother running engine despite daily driving conditions.
The fact is that fuel mileage will fluctuate in any car due to driving habits, lack of maintenance, traffic conditions and many other factors. All these factors will rob the fuel efficiency your car was meant to achieve. The main purpose of **** is to help your engine consistently maintain its designed fuel efficiency despite of all these unpredictable situations.

If it frees up electricity to be used on a better and constant supply to the spark plugs/ignition, presumably it's no good for diesels...

1.If the light does not turn on,please check the fruse on your vehicle.
What's a fruse? And where can I find them - I'm wondering if this is why some of my lights arnt working
So if I buy 5...
...And this bit holds true...
2.Saving gas consumption by 10% to 25%;
3.Raise the engine horsepower;
And I buy one of these...
...I'd have selective 50%-125% saving in gas consumption... and 5 stages of increased horsepower.
Group buy anyone?

but the problem then is that you would have to keep stopping to empty fuel out of your tank as it filled up.....

See that's the genius of the switchable adaptor. You just turn the devices off when you're full again without the need to unplug them. Get low on fuel you just turn 'em back on n fill her up.
Not sure its worth the hassle though - I've heard you can pump the fuel you've used back into the tank by driving backwards for extended periods.

I would be up for group buy but ive got a diesel
But at least ive now finally found out what the fuel return pipe is for, and my trucks got one so I'm going for this method instead;

I think you diesel guys are missing something here...
Your glow plugs use some battery - which is replenished by the engine right? Which is going to use fuel. This device could really make starting way more efficient.

"Stupid Boy"
It comes from the alternator and multiplied by the electronic wizardry and flux capacitor

Of course it's good for diesels - diesels have lights don't they - just drive around all the time with your lights on and you'll be saving loads of fuel

They are electric right?
So if you had enough of them you could use them to power an electric motor and turn your vehicle into a hybrid. Ideally you would need a lithium battery to store the surplus in plus an extra fuel tank to put the saved fuel in. But if you don't like that idea then you could install a large tank of water and use the electricity to break down the water into hydrogen and oxygen by hydrolosis and store the hydrogen in a rooftop mounted gas bag for use either in the internal combustion engine or in a hydrogen engine (I'm sure I saw one on flea bay recently).
I can recall pefectly the science lesson at school when I was taught this but sadly my memory doesn't extend to the science itself so my ideas might need a bit of tweaking. I wonder if Felix can help us!
