Fuel Atomizer 2000 on Subaru?

I have some snake oil to sell you also.

Charles

I'm not selling them. I want to buy it on eBay. And by the way, I have found better price than on this website.

You missed my point entirely. If you believe their claims, and are willing to actually pay for one, you might as well buy some snake oil also. Both will work equally well. Injectors control the amount of fuel in the cylinder (using computers), puting more fuel into the air before it enters the combustion chamber will only serve to screw up the fuel to air ratio that the computer is working so hard to maintain.

Well technically, it will work, the liquid fuel injected into the combustion chamber required some thermal energy to get "atomized"

By raising the temperature of the fuel, it will require less enrgy from the combustion chamber and will recycle part of the heat from the exhaust system. I could compute the real saving but i quick estimate would be in the 0.1% range!

Now for "REAL" devices that "REALLY" improve the fuel economy:

Cruise control Driving speed and driving style Air pressure gauge ( when used weekly on the tires) Engine oil (I do not want to to start the synthetic oil debate again but a

1-2.5% difference in my case) Plugs (I do not want to to start the iridium-platinium plug debate again but a 1.5-2% difference in my case) Clean air filter Empty the trunk (weight is a big factor in fuel economy and performance).

Oh yeah...that thing is GREAT!!!

..but, be sure and put BOTH of the "FA-2000" stickers on, as soon as you get it.

I only put one of the stickers on the first month, and only saved 25% on gas. After the putting on that second sticker, is when I got the

50% gas savings, LOL LOL!!!

Chicks love it, too!!

But be careful. I put 5 stickers on my car and the gas tank overflowed.

This type of device will work well with throttle-body injection or a carburetor system where the air and fuel actually mix in the intake manifold. I doubt you will see any difference in a multi-port style injection system where the fuel is pumped directly into the cylinder......

I saw an info-mercial for the Tornado I think they call it. They never actually bragged about gas savings for injected vehicles in that one.....

A minor nit. To the best of my knowledge, multi-port injection squirts the gas into the intake manifold behind the intake valve, not into the cylinder.

This type of device has been around since the early fifties, and maybe even before. I distinctly remember readin their ads in Popular Mechanics. Someone, (I think Motor Trend), finally tested them and found them worse than worthless. No gain in power or response, and mileage was atually a little worse. If you think about it, a number of highly paid engineers spend their carreers designing intake systems tuned to a particular engine. It's hard to believe that adding a device that interrupts the flow would be of any benefit.

They didn't work with carburetors, and they won't work with any kind of fuel injection.

But they might, if combined with those horsepower pellets you drop in the crankcase that dissolve in the oil and coat all the surfaces of the engine to make them super slippery...

What other scams do you suppose are about to be revived next?

Rick

Maybe the "Mini Supercharger", kind of an early variant of the Fuel Atomizer.

You mean that hamster wheel for the air box? :)

Perfect description!
