Turbo 3000 D

Does Scneider endorse these things? Does this thing work ? There ads are good but how can this thing work? Is this a scam? If it is so, great, why are the fleets not gobbling them up?

turbo 3000 +Schneider

I wonder if Schneider knows they use their name on the ads? They say that SChneider offers the thing to their leased on guys. Just for grins, I called Turbo 3000 and they claim that Schneider has bought huge numbers of them for their own trucks. Oh well...maybe they did.

Sure Snyder will sell them to their lease operators. There is a profit to be made out of selling and installing a turbo 300d.

What do they care if it is a waste of your money?

If you Drill out the Turbo3000 so you can get a line all the way through, it makes a pretty good sliding sinker for deep sea fishing. That's all I can see it's good for. Sure didn't change my fuel economy.

Send me the $300 and your MPGs will probably stay the same and I'll be able to buy groceries for another 3 weeks.

Bandits preying on folks paying high fuel prices.

Think about it.

Current diesel injection systems operate at 15,000 to 27,000 psi depending on the maker. Injector tips have tiny holes. That fuel is atomized.
There are no "streams of fuel" coming out. If there are streams, you need injectors. You will have a fuel knock and smoke.

The fuel goes all through filters, elbows, check valves and passages into the pump and injectors or unit injectors. It gets pumped and then sprayed into the cylinder. How in hell does anything done in the low pressure fuel line effect this?

Engine makers are desperate to make engines more efficient and meet brutal emissions standards. They have done all types of very trick things to engines in the last 10 years. Invested tons of money in R&D.

Don't you think they would be using a fuel line device if it worked?

They haven't been using it right...
















Get rid of all that high-pressure this and atomizing-that. Just hook it up to a 100 mpg carburetor. Then it will work fine.
