infrared fuel saver - anyone else used it?
We used this product on several of our trucks and have been seeing around 11% of diesel savings.
So far it seems this is the least expensive and the most effective US product we have tried. Check them out www.savefuelsavetheearth.com This is supposed to be a new product. I am curious to see if anyone else have tried it?

You know, there are so many bogus devices on the market that if someone actually did come along with something that worked, it would be like the boy that cried "WOLF". We've heard the schpiel so many times, no one's listening anymore. From magnets to "baffles" that are supposed to "ATOMIZE" the fuel (while it's still in the line?????? :shock: ) Now, infrared??? Sorry, but the entire hose absorbs engine heat. The entire hose has infrared in it. I'd say this one goes down the tubes along with the rest. You know, if I had one each of every device on my truck, I would not save one molecule of fuel. My truck would be overloaded.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'll bet I can save a little fuel by adding a little naptha to the fuel, though. Well, maybe not. It doesn't have any more stored energy than gasoline. Maybe a little NITROGLYCERIN...... :shock:

And, just to show you I did go to the site and check it out, I also did a search on the "inventor". Here's what I came up with...no results for Dr. Albert C. Wey.
In the first place, if the device were to actually put infrared into the inside of the line, it would work far better to transmit the infrared energy (heat) into the fuel if it were attached to the metallic part of the line, NOT the "non-metallic" part that is actually an INSULATOR. And, if the "inventor" were actually involved with magnetic research for the last 25 years as the article claims, he would be listed right along with "Howard R. Johnson" of Blacksburg, VA. Instead, "NO RESULTS FOUND". So, I don't believe one word of it. Go peddle your "device" to the blondes of the country.

Windwalker, I was just like you... skeptical... when someone first mentioned it to me. But at that time the fuel costs are also killing me (it still does), so what the hell, I ordered several under their 90 day warranty.
At least it worked for me and I am happy to see my investment got paid back quickly. No one has to believe in this product, I was one of the non-believers. All what I have learned is... don't make early judgments. You will never know what you will get if you don't even try. I am still curious who else have used this product and what are their results?

I searched google using "Albert C. Wey", it came up with his patent.
http://www.freshpatents.com/Ir-fuel-...0060011176.php Again, i don't work for this company so i don't care if this person actually exists. the bottom line is, the product worked for me, that's all what i care.

Okay. You want a device to save you fuel? How about 60 mph of desiel fuel? Would that peak your interest? How? Simple.
Install a pressure regulator into the intake plumbing of the engine. Between the turbo and the "air-to-air". The pressure regulator must be variable according to the position of an accellorator in the cab. Instead of using the normal "gas peddle", you use the one that controlls the regulator. What does it regulate? HYDROGEN You inject an amount of hydrogen into the intake according to how much power you need. And that regulator is fed from a tank of liquid hydrogen mounted to the frame. Result... About 60 mpg of desiel. And, hydrogen has more energy stored in it than propane, natural gas, gasoline, or desiel. And, the system DOES work. It is currently being used with CNG in California.

Thanks for the tip. $99.99 - What a hoot! I thoroughly enjoyed researching the patent information on this device.
According to the patent, the inventor is Jun Zhi Zhang from Taichung City, Taiwan. The wording of the patent summary is classic.
"Therefore, the molecules of liquid fuel can be well minced so that the liquid fuel can be combusted completely in order to save the liquid fuel and reduce the deposition of carbon. Furthermore, the efficiency in generating energy through the combustion of the liquid fuel is increased, and the exhaust is cleansed. Hence, the economy is increased. "

Interesting... what's the cost for installation and the cost to operate using the pressure regulator? I don't want anyone to change anything on my truck though before I can actually see it works... although the 60mpg is really attractive.
Are there any other trucks in this forum using the pressure regulator?

i don't know the relationship between Dr. Wey and Jun Zhi Zhang. i am also not that technical to understand their patent claims. to be honest, i'm not even interested in knowing those claims. When i bought the products, i didn't even think about why it works or how it works, i simply bought them because i couldn't afford my fuel at the time and someone happened to suggest the product.
