Skodee Neutral Newbie February 20, 2005 Share February 20, 2005 (edited) Recently installed one of the many brands of magnetic fuel saver called EPS and it works well on the FC of my Octy. From 9.5-10km/l improved to 10.5-11.5km/l and that will be about 10% improvement. Used to drive up to KL in about 3/4 tank now needs 1/2 tank..long distance driving save the most. So far have gone for about 5 tankful and this is the average savings... Anyone tried any other brands of fuel saver?

XLR8 1st Gear February 21, 2005 Share February 21, 2005 How much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodee Neutral Newbie February 21, 2005 Author Share February 21, 2005 Check out this website : www.ep-systems.co.uk for more info... The magnet is tied to the fuel line into the engine... selling at $99.90 + $5 installation charge now (I got it for $89.90 during expo) after I called up the distributor. As I've got 2 other friends keen, so have asked him whether group buys got discount... Let me know if you keen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodee Neutral Newbie February 21, 2005 Author Share February 21, 2005 Hey bro...those savings were before the pot & polish...but I am happy just to save a few more bucks per full tank... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conned Clutched February 21, 2005 Share February 21, 2005 Bro, i dun think EPS can use on TC rides..because it makes de fuel too lean! like Ecotek. But on NA cars.I heard they do give sum tangible results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahlid Neutral Newbie February 26, 2005 Share February 26, 2005 Skodee - I can't attend the meetup due to other committment. Let me know of any detail arrangement of getting the EPS through emails Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodee Neutral Newbie February 27, 2005 Author Share February 27, 2005 No worries bro...understand you'll be getting your Octy soon? Maybe you should drive and get a feel of the fuel consumption for the first few full tanks. Then you'll probably appreciate or can differentiate better after installing the magnet. What ya think?

Kahlid Neutral Newbie February 28, 2005 Share February 28, 2005 Sounds like a plan, how is your experience after the installation so far? Is yours a 1.6A? Any other mod and what is the rims size? Is it true that all things equal, a higher rims will consume more fuel than a lower size? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodee Neutral Newbie March 6, 2005 Author Share March 6, 2005 Mine a 1.6A and rim size 17. Normally a bigger rim will consume higher consumption but not for my case. I've changed from a stock wheel cap 15" to a lighter 17". Not much diff on fuel consumption except more bumpy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
