Sounds legit, lol.

Yeah Man, thats like totally normal... Oh, wait :L

The "reason" behind it is because the magnets align the molecules in the fuel as they pass... My instant response to that was, "the molecules in the fuel aren't polar, and aren't effected by magnets".

If anything, depended on the weight of the magnets and how far they pertrude, surely they would reduce his MPG by adding weight and drag ? lol

They're literally 5x10cm sheets, less than 1mm thick, and they're under the bonnet, so that's pretty much negligible, but yeah that's what I said. Well, it provided a night of entertainment proving him wrong.

it's the "in" thing at the moment to strap magnets to your fuel line. However in tests it has proved to not make a blind bit of difference, apart from a physiological one.

Don't you mean psychological?

Just tell him to clean his fuel line with redex or something. that will help more

yep, got to love spell check and an inability to spell, and a lack of coffee

I'm 13, i'll leave you guys to the science :L

Science you say? http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/055/9/7/troll_science__magnetic_car_by_szczygusek-d3aaqid.jpg

oh btw...

Oh :/

Haha I was about to say the same thing as Shinobi tbh.

Mythbusters did this one: BUSTED

^Haha, could've said that abit earlier! :L

meh.. I take it they didn't take into account that high frequencies, such as projected from a ccd chip (found in videocameras), will temporarily neutralise the polarity in fuel molecules. Hence magnets won't have any effect while using film equipment anywhere near it.. basic physics, d'ah!!
