Turbo3000d

The Turbo3000 is pure snake oil garbage.

Clean fuel, clean oil, clean filters, and a light foot are what get you MPG

 

Here's a link to another thread a while back on it:

I don't believe in it, but I've never tried one. If the manufacturer could better explain how it possibly works, I.... no, I still wouldn't buy one!

 

get a length of alum pipe the same size and cut threads into it and it will do the samething as the turbo 3000 witch is absolutly nothing.

 

I have heard that if you join 4 of them together it will start to make fuel

 

No they only promise 10%, so you have to put on 11 before you need the overflow tanks beside your regualr tanks!

 

I can recall that in early 80's back when I was still living in Poland and we were under communist occupation - there was Turbinka Kowalskiego (Smith's Turbine) introduced as a genius fuel saving device. Nobody really ever knew how it supposed to work, but who4ver was behind this BS - had been very well connected to the "media" which kept reporting on how phuking good it is.

Now, to put you into right perspective, we were using 2-stroke 2-cylinder 23hp engines in family cars (30 years behind the Western Europe we were) yet everyone knew turbinka is nothing but snake oil. Nobody can trust commie TV/media but then - how the f is introducing turbulence in fuel feed is supposed to help ?

Now, it would be interesting to know - is this the same scumbag behind the device? Plenty commies around...

 

Save you money

 

I wonder why the largest fleet in the world is running them? 4% is what they are claiming.

 

4% is about 0.2 mpg and it is very small difference in fuel mileage to even find out, come on its a 4%. Its been said that fuel temperature can cause 2% difference (hot fuel you buy in California vs. in Wyoming). Not to mention idleing time changing with the seasons and temperature, nobody is able to separate amount of fuel used for idleing from driving fuel use, its imposiblefor big fleets, heck I myself cant figure it - I wold have to fill up the tanks every time I start driving. NO WAY its possible except for crappy computer readouts which are 10% (or less) accurate. Im not even going into intake air temperature vs. power and economy.

So, every single fuel saving device claims around 4% to 7% gain in fuel mileage because they know its untraceable without laboratory methods. Everyone who buys them is a fool, including big fleets (these are big foools). Get it?
