there is nothing about magnets in the official fuelstar writeup.

all it is, is small cones of tin that fuel filters through -- thats it, nothing more, nothing less.

i have seen it working on ONE diesel van though... it totally removed the black smoke and made it sounded a lot healthier, no idea if it was any faster. havent seen it on anything else.

edit: fuelstar have applications for 500cc bikes (like 4 cones of tin) to big industrial engines (canisters with 20,000-40,000 cones of tin

there is actually almost nothing on the fuelstar site that actually scientifically describes what it does,

money back guarantee? heh heh, only if it was installed properly Wink

How does it work?

The tin cones are at the entry end of the Fuelstar canister after a swirl plate. The cones are arranged loose with abrasive perforated separator plates between the rows. The numbers of cones in each model are matched to the size of the engine Fuelstar is to be fitted to, and the amount of fuel needed to be treated. At the exit end the treated fuel passes by powerful magnets, which assist in fracturing fuel hydrocarbon clusters through magnetic resonance (see the fuelmax page for more information). The Fuelstar process is activated by vibration which produces a rubbing action between the tin alloy cones and the seperator plates which releases very fine particles of tin (0.2 - 0.5 of a micron) into the fuel. These particles repel each other and the movement keeps them in colloidal suspension in the fuel. The tin alloy produces a catalytic reaction on the fuel during combustion at which time it is converted to a tin oxide. This reaction results in a more complete and cleaner combustion. The tin oxide formed helps clear carbon build up and coats the exhaust valve mating surfaces to alleviate valve seat recession.

There is a lot of information on the Web about Tin Catalyst Fuel Enhancement.

It appears as the classic case of:
REALITY - these products have been successfully sold for many years, with money back guarantees. There are thousands of satisfied consumers and no doubt some consumers it did not work for (you are not going to please all the people all the time) BUT if it didn't work in most cases, these companies would soon be out of business and well and truly sued.
THE LABORATORY - often can't replicate whats happening in real life.

As with all these 'Alternate' ideas science can often prove otherwise. According to science butterflies can't fly and it was only 400 years ago you were burnt at the stake for saying the earth rotated around the sun and 100 years ago you were locked up for saying pictures would fly through the air and end up in boxes in the lounge room.

ahh thats what i like to hear.. conspiracy theories Wink
