Epsilon 2nd Gear June 13, 2003 Share June 13, 2003 hi, anyone DIY magnet? I would like to check how do you hold/fix the magnet to the location (like fuel line). Thanks.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Neutral Newbie June 13, 2003 Share June 13, 2003 Buy those 1) black cable straps .... 2) a sticky heat-resistant tape. 3) Aluminium coil (the easy to bend type) Coil the fuel line with the aluminium where u intend to put the magnet. Magnet will stick to the aluminium naturally. Tape the magnet and coil together to the fuel line, then use the straps to strap em up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 13, 2003 Share June 13, 2003 For the magnets I installed last time, I spliced the magnets with rubber splicing tape (stretchable ones) then cable tie a pair to the fuel line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwongcc Neutral Newbie June 13, 2003 Share June 13, 2003 Hi, I hear that the magnet has 1 side's "pull" stronger than the other side when the 2 magnets are place together right? So should the stonger side be place into the fuel or out?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 2nd Gear June 13, 2003 Author Share June 13, 2003 1 side is pull and the other side is push.....i think SFM is using pulling while calski Ion is using pushing....correct me if i am wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwongcc Neutral Newbie June 13, 2003 Share June 13, 2003 not so sure.. I'm a newbie here too.. But the calski is very $$$ Any one here has "lobang" for it?? Group buys??? What's SFM?? hehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Neutral Newbie June 13, 2003 Share June 13, 2003 Does magnet stick to aluminum? I am still trying to figure out its true and real name ... just cant get it outta my brains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Neutral Newbie June 13, 2003 Share June 13, 2003 thank.....but i still don't really know what is this ALuminium coil... Its a form of metallic wire .... that is bend-able. Cannot figure out a name for it but go to any hardware store and you can get it. Most of the time, you can use it to clear a choked sink Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 2nd Gear June 13, 2003 Author Share June 13, 2003 I think I know what it is already..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfchung Neutral Newbie June 14, 2003 Share June 14, 2003 What kind of magnets are you thinking off? So far, the one that I know and very strong is the one from hard disks. However, for th elife of me, I still can not rationalise how magnets can affect the fuel. As far as my chemistry lesson goes, fuel are just hydrocarbons. Magnetic fields should have no effect on it. So if ppl claims it works, question is how?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 2nd Gear June 14, 2003 Author Share June 14, 2003 i also dunno the reason behind it....it think those hard disk magnet will lose it magnetic propertis inside the engine compartment because of the temperature......you might need to get something better...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie June 14, 2003 Share June 14, 2003 I tot magnets are not attracted to aluminium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeldriver Neutral Newbie June 14, 2003 Share June 14, 2003 Calski magnets repel - and are pretty strong, so the cable ties need to be quite strong to hold them together on the fuel line. SFM has both. The ones that repel - but not as strong as Calski, and ones that attract - i.e. if you look at the picture on the back of the HotStuff magazine for June, that's how it'll look like if you leave it alone. I had 4 sets last time, the one that attract is supposed to be put closest to the engine, while the rest behind it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
