Fuel Atomizer 2000 on Subaru?

[Guest]

Has anyone experience with "Fuel Atomizer 2000"? Does it really work?
Comparing to another "fuel savers" (i.e. magnets on gas lines), it seems to
be more reasonable - it viporizes some gas, mixes it with air and puts to
air intake. Here is a link:

Have anybody tried it?

I have some snake oil to sell you also.

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?

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