I remember that stuff on the market and the hype it brought.
Couple O/O's I ran for had us putting that stuff in like it was candy.
I miss the days of 95 cent fuel.

So older motors your talking about the pre emissions motors?
So lets say i have a c12 with 568k on it should i add 1qt of 2 cycl outboard oil to 100gal? I do a lot of city driving so the more I can do to make it last ill do it. -

I'd put MicroBlue in this scam category also.... Or I'd atleast question it...
read this thread on another forum about a guy who did the MicroBlue on company trucks without drivers knowing. It's an interesting read.

This GMX 400 unit came installed on my truck. I drove the truck for 200,000 miles as a company driver not really caring about fuel mileage. MPG at best in summer was 7.25, winter was 6.75 (which seems fairly average for an '04 century pulling trailers w/fairings), pulling 70k-80k ~85% of the time. I bought the truck in February & immediately had an inframe done, removed the governor, & quit putting lucas in the oil. MPG at best fully loaded is now 8.5+ but that's doin "dragon-fly" (drag-##### goin uphill fly goin down) in the hills of Ga & Tn. Best in the flats is now 7.75. Overall average now 7.5. It also seems my company is hauling 70k-80k loads ~60% of the time recently.
It's my opinion that the magnets on the fuel line don't do anything. I don't run steady enough loads to do truly accurate tests with the magnets off.
Dice, if you'd be interested you're welcome to borrow my magic magnets for a few months to test. I could see if I notice any change with magnets off while with your dedicated runs you'd be able to tell definitively if they work or not.
As far as the magic pipes go, it's my theory that IF they work at all it's because they're either causing enough disruption to laminar fuel flow to break up the entrained air bubbles into smaller air bubbles or they're causing cavitation within the device thereby creating entrained vapor using the entrained air. I think they don't tell customers this because then they'd realize that they'd be better off removing the entrained air using FASS or AirDog.
PM me if you're curious enough to test my magic magnets. I'm curious enough to cover the shipping to you if you'll cover it back to me (just for the humor value I like having them on the truck ).Dice1 Thanks this. -
I know several truckers with actual experience using it to verify it actually works.
Please qualify your actual experience than just make unqualified opinions about any product on here.
Thank you! -
Just keep us posted with your experience with and without them.
Thanks again. -

Although the unit he is illustrating has no functionality and is totally wrong in the way it is built, it doesn't show how it was installed either.
This is what my unit looks like,, I used stainless steel plates and not just some wires hanging down into my solution.
