#81 of 332 Re: [tidester] by jdarden Jun 23, 2005 (9:46 am)
Replying to: tidester (Jan 30, 2005 11:31 pm) Yes. I tried the "Platinum Fuelsaver" in a 1975 Jeep Wagoneer with the 360 engine. The good news is it's easy to install and it eliminated the knocking because of regular gas. It may gave slightly improved gas mileage. The bad news is that after about 6000 miles it clogged up and would not unclog and the reservoir collapsed due to the heat under the hood. Looking back I would still buy one if they would guarantee the parts for a reasonable period of time.

Maybe we need to take a page from the hybrid hypermilers and suggest some non-gizmo tips, like keeping the tires inflated to spec.   Steve, Host

Replying to: tidester (Nov 01, 2001 12:13 pm) the reason that an after market ignition system could provide better gas mileage is because it would have a higher voltage output causing a bigger spark in turn causing more complete combustion leading to more power which means less throttle less gas and better gas mileage.

Replying to: gmtech1 (Aug 30, 2005 5:34 pm) Wow! I get a reply - 4 years later!   Thanks - though I think it's still an open issue as to whether higher voltage can produce more complete combustion.   tidester, host Replies to this message: fatpuppy (Oct 01, 2006 3:10 am)
