Alas, I have removed all magnets because they were actually causing me to get WORSE mileage then without them lol. I found that out the hard way, but DAMN they are strong. I even saw a news report where they tested the magnets and found in a few of the test cars they got 1 to 2 MPG less then without them. Go figure [:-]

Should be fine. If it somehow makes it past the fuel tank filter, maybe the magnets on your fuel line will catch it

I use Redline SI-1 or BG 44K everytime I change oil or every 5000 miles..it's like a shot of penicillin for the engine

Unlessyou are using somethin like Chevron with Techron, or Shell with V-Power, you probabaly don't have any cleaner in your fuel, or at the very least a minimum legally required amount. Either way, it isn't adequate for proper maintenanc of your fuel system. sludge and varnish still build up and the harsh cleaners you add to the fuel will break those up. High concentration use, i.e. every tank, of these cleaners and additives can be detimental to the fuel system. Occasional use like what Dennis does is probably the best plan for that stuff.

Here's the question then.....What is the best and safest fuel additive to use? I never even considered using a fuel additive before, but I might if I can get a little more info on it.
Dennis, which of the two that you use is better?
If anyone else uses a fuel additive or has an opinion please weigh in!

Jaguar recommends BG 44K every 10,000 miles($22.00 a can) and Mercedes recommends Redline SI-1 every 5000 miles...I've only used Redline in the HUMMER so far...
I recommend not using any of the others... They are not the strength and as safe to useas these two products are.
