Tony's Guide to Fuel Saving Gadgets

hi ghosthunter, im new to this forum, i actually just submitted here an ad yesterday promoting HOB. i found your tony article very interesting. for yourself, what is your criteria for the effectiveness of a fuel saver aside from improving your mileage and maintaining your car's normal working performance?

since you were the one who posted this tony article, and you are a moderator here, id like to invite you to come to our headoffice in QC (near ABS-CBN Compound), so we can show to you the principles and theories behind it, and likewise, so that you can get to meet HOBs humble inventor, Mr. Glenn Castillo. bring along a few of your friends if you like.

the AVP and the flash demo i uploaded can only do so much, actual demo is always the best.

tell me your convenient date and time (early next week?), we'll make sure it'll be worth your while.... hoping for your confirmation on this one. cheers!

from the description in the diagram above and cutting through all the marketing blabber... the device is basically a fuel heater. It's designed to "preheat" the fuel (gasoline or diesel) before reaching the combustion chamber. It's effect is to increase the volatility of the fuel at the point of combustion.

Example, cold diesel fuel will not catch fire but hot diesel fuel will catch fire easily.

I have read other versions of this type of device where the heat is derived from the exhaust pipe. A length of copper tube is wrapped around the exhaust pipe and is connected to the fuel system. The problem with this specific design layout is the fuel tends to get overheated and boil, causing the engine to run erratically and even stall (due to bubbles of fuel vapor in the fuel line).

Anyway, from what I have gathered, this gadget can improve milage but only marginally (5% or less).

I assume people will ask, "Is this device worth buying?"

Vehicle Type - Radiator Hose Diameter - Price
Cars / AUV ________- 1.25" - P7,500
Cars / AUV / SUV ___- 1.50" - P7,500
SUV ______________- 1.75" - P8,500
Trucks / Bus _______ - 2.00" - P8,500
Large Trucks / Bus __- 2.50" - P9,500

My answer, no... it will take years to get back your investment.

Typical construction for this device will look like a section of metal tubing (sized to fit the radiator hose of your car) and some copper tubing coiled tightly around the metal tube.

Basically anyone handy with a metal saw and pipe bender can build one in an hour or so. Not worth the P7500 to P9500 asking price.

oh well ... its not for everyone ... i have to apologize about those "nagging" agents sa cherry, karamihan sa kanila installers din lang. i'll tell Glenn.

what's so funny about the video?

before anyone issues a verdict that this is all crap, talk to Glenn first -- wag naman sana bashing from a point of view na kulang ang info.

fyi, this product has been out since oct 2004. even without alll the fanfare that khaos does, it pretty much sells about 100-200 pcs a week. since then, we've had a lot of repeat orders from end customers and dealers (of course). now would you still say its all BS after all that time? these customers would have found out something couldve probably have gone wrong already right, or the product does not deliver what it claims that it can do. again, it's not for everyone ...

Glenn is now talking to somebody who will handle his PR (mass media), which he totally lacks.

Update kita mazdamazda pag meron na result yung "Another Water Powered Engine Thread" ... kung wala update ... eh di walang nangyari ...

Peace!

I guess those guys are just after their sales commission, right? I guess everyone needs a source of income.

what's so funny about the video?

dunno about the video, basically its too big to download without a T1 internet connection. But the flash animation is kinda funny... The voice sounds like it was demanding a ransom or a terrorist demand... hehehe

BTW, the flash animation is 95% marketing BS.

if that is all your claim, heck, KHAOS has a better claim... 30 years of "research & development".

BTW, I am not saying the gadget is BS... its just the pricing makes it a scam.

**BlueBimmer** · September 21st, 2005 08:55 PM

200 pcs per week! wow money money money for glenn!

**alwayz_yummy** · September 21st, 2005 09:00 PM

ako ung nagsasabi na somehow i find it funny...kasi cherry is my common grocery, at lahat ng groceries ko/namin dun ko ginagawa.

lalo na dun sa claims sa video....most are can be done without installing your product.. and it is mostly video of the girls..na honestly, most of the people there tend to look at the girls..not the product, nasasabit lang ung product mismo..ung mga nahihiya, napapatanong nalang...pero siyempre there are some na talagang magtatanong...

eto ha, most of the time, walang tao sa booth nyu ha...
