  • i cant figure out which fuel hose is which!

    i cant figure out which fuel hose is which! I am trying to locate the supply hose as close to the fuel injectors as possible so that i can try the fuel ionizing magnets. I have a 1997 camaro RS. of the pictures that i've looked at look like my car, so they couldnt help me. both hoses seem to be the same size, so saying its the bigger one doesn't seem to help me. when i drive a lot and touch both, they seem to be equally as hot, so saying its the cooler one doesnt seem to help me. what should i do to figure out which is which???

    thanks,
    josh

    They don't work. I hope those magnets didn't cost you much.

      From a V6 diagram, it sure looks like they are different sizes. The feed is the forward pipe (the one not going into the regulator).

      Good luck with the voodoo magnets.

        what makes you say hat magnets dont work? not that i dont believe you, but i'm just curious. i only spent like 13 bucks i think, not a big deal. have you tried them? has anyone had any luck with the "fuel ionizing magnets"?

          First question I would have asked when purchasing was "whats fuel IONIZATION"?

            The theory behind the magnets is to polarize the fuel molecules. It was theorized that by creating a magnetic field, the fuel molecules would "repel" each other giving the effect of a wider dispersion of fuel. Puddling is supposed to be minimized, fuel supposedly burns more completely and gas mileage is supposed to increase. It is more applicable to carbed cars than injected.

            The problem is that the effect is so minimal that the money spent on the magnetic device is way more than the amount of fuel saved over the life of the car. Basically a waste of dough.

              you definately don't feel the need to ask any questions when purchasing, because there are usually essay-like explanations that go with the product. I know how it's supposed to work, I was just wondering if anyone here had tried them.

                I get better MPG from a decent tune... vs "the magic magnets" as an old frog once said... if they worked, how come the fed govt does not use them on their fleet of cars?...

                The theory is sound .. but the effect is too minimal ...

                in short go with what is proven
