| Abstract |
This report announces the conclusion of EPA's evaluation of the 'Fuel Maximiser' a retrofit fuel economy device. The evaluation of the 'Fuel Maximiser' was conducted by request of the U.S. Postal service. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine if the device did perform as it was claimed. The 'Fuel Maximiser' device consists of a small coil of copper wire in a plastic enclosure which is positioned over the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. The device is allegedly creates an ion charge in the vehicle which modifies the molecular structure of the fuel, thus increasing vehicle fuel economy. The results of the EPA testing demonstrate that the 'Fuel Maximiser' has no effect on vehicle fuel economy. An evaluation of the 'Fuel Maximiser' device under Section 511 of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act is available in EPA report EPA-AA-TEB-511-82-1, the NTIS order number is PB84-129881. |
