I don't think so. Buy it and tell me. Heres the ad if you don't want to look it up.

Save Fuel and Money
Simply strap to your fuel line to save gas and increase engine efficiency. Fuel Master's magnetic field breaks up clusters of hydrocarbon for more complete burning.

Prevents build-up of dirt in engine injectors. Gives you 11.6% average highway fuel savings as tested by an EPA accepted laboratory.

Use it on cars, trucks and small engines

I'm willing to be that there are more gadgets like this claiming to increase gas mileage or power for internal combustion engines than just about any other invention in the Patent Office files in Washington except mouse traps! LOL
I always talk myself out of buying them by just thinking that if they really worked like they claim to, the automakers would have long ago installed them on all the engines they make just to help them meet the damn CAFE laws! (corporate average fuel economy)
But people still fall for them everyday! It's like P.T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute!"

i give that a lol.

hydrocarbons - fuel - by its very nature is non-magnetic. there are no "clumps" to break up because - well there are no clumps, and if the gasoline gels it has nothing to do with magnetic attraction.
