    Kind of pain to get started but has been trouble free since then. Kind of handles itself.

    Why you sold something you knew its not working? Dont say guy was begging you to sell or you thought better you to sell him at lower price than to buy it from scammers at higher price.. Tell us real reasons. Such action of yours tells us of your moral principles.

    Actually the Turbo3000d Vada was debated on the old Truck.Net forum years ago (early 2000s) and the buyer I sold it to already had 5 trucks using the Turbo3000 claiming to get positive results with them. He went by Daytrader and has been around the internet trucking websites for a long time. He offered to buy mine from me during the heated debating and ask me what I wanted for it, so I quoted him $100 and he took me up on it. Said he wanted it for his boat or something like that. He was more of a believer of the Turbo3000 than the EcoTaz freebie guys who never asked to buy mine from me or even said they would buy another one.

    No moral principals to discuss when the opportunity to get some of my money back was offered to me, I took it. At least he puts his money where his mouth is.

    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    http://www.enviromagnetics.net/Diesel.aspx

    It is so expensive (around $2300 for class 8 vehicles) that, if it not helps saving fuel, so far they would be hanged by the people who bought this.

    Any thoughts? there is PDF on website with 'scientific' explanation how all of it works.

    I know magnets affects only ferromagnetic materials, fuel is not in that group, but anyway, you know how everybody say, even scientists, that is not good living close to high powered electrical cables, they also makes magnetic field around, so there could be something in it?
