FAQ - Money Saving Magnets for cars and trucks

Product/Benefit Questions:

How much mileage improvement can I expect? Mileage and savings vary according to the age and condition of the engine, type and size of the engine, roads and driving habits. Vortex guarantees a minimum 10% improvement in Miles Pper Gallon (MPG); however, some users have reported savings over 50%!

Will a Vortex Fuel Saver help me pass an emissions/smog test? Yes, as long as the problem is simply excess emissions rather than a mechanical problem. Many users report emissions (which is simply unburnt fuel) reductions of up to 99%, as the test results on many emissions such as Hydrocarbons (HC) or Carbon Monoxide (CO) go to 0, which are reported as 99% reductions as we assume there are still some emissions coming out of the engine, just too small of an amount to detect.

How will I know if my horsepower is increased? Many users report increased acceleration, a smoother ride and a better ability to climb inclines. Of course, you could also measure increased horsepower in a laboratory setting which would also confirm the increased horsepower.

The manufacturer of my vehicle suggests I use high octane gasoline. With a Vortex Fuel Saver, can I now use a lower octane gasoline? In most cases, the answer is yes, however, not all engines respond the same. Wait until after the Stabilization Period, and as long as there is no knocking or pinging when switching to a lower octane gasoline, you can continue to save even more money!

Can a Vortex Fuel Saver be used with diesel, bio diesel and ethanol? The Vortex Fuel Saver system can be used on all types of cars and trucks, utilizing gasoline, diesel (including bio diesel), or ethanol. At present, only the gasoline/ethanol model has been released for sale. The diesel model will be released in the very near future.

Does a Vortex Fuel Saver void Manufacturer's Warranties? While we don't provide legal advice, our position is that it does not. Our position is no different than the literally hundreds of non-OEM or after market suppliers in the auto market. The basis for our position is as follows: 1. The Magnuson-Moss Act was enacted in July 1975. The act was designed to "improve the adequacy of information available to consumers, prevent deception, and improve competition in the marketing of consumer products." Under the Act, a manufacturer can not deny a warranty claim simply for using non-stock or after market replacement parts. Thus the mere use of our product will not automatically void a warranty. Instead, the manufacturer in denying a warranty claim for repairs must prove that the non-stock or after market product caused the damage. 2. We have no evidence to indicate that the Vortex Fuel Saver will cause any damage to an engine. In fact, the body of evidence which we have compiled is quite the contrary. Using a Vortex Fuel Saver causes engines to run cleaner, more efficiently, and at a lower operating temperature. We can not foresee how any of these attributes could cause engine damage.

OUR PLEDGE:
If you have been informed by a dealership that your Vortex Fuel Saver has voided your original manufacturer's warranty, we will promptly reimburse you for the cost of the attendant repair, provided that, you provide us with the following:

1. Your repairs are otherwise covered under the original manufacturer's warranty.
2. You purchased the Vortex Fuel Saver from us or our independent sales representatives and you have registered the product.
3. We receive a written statement or repair order from the dealership in which the dealership blames the problem or warranty denial on the Vortex Fuel Saver.
4. We receive the broken or damaged part or parts. This may come from you directly or from the dealership at your urging.
5. You assign to us your rights to pursue our claim for reimbursement.
6. You cooperate with us in helping us pursue our claim for reimbursement from the dealership.
7. Our pledge terminates after such repairs are made by the dealership.

Is there a Guarantee? Yes, Vortex guarantees a minimum 10% increase in MPG after the Stabilization Period using a Vortex Fuel Saver. In addition, Vortex has a 90 Day, No Questions Asked, Money Back Guarantee.

How about a Warranty? Yes, the Vortex Fuel Saver comes with a Lifetime Power Warranty (if you fill out the warranty card)!

INSTALLATION/USE QUESTIONS:

Is a Vortex Fuel Saver easy to install? Yes, there are no moving parts and no tools are required for installation. The system is easily secured to the fuel line, water hose and air intake with the fasteners included with a Vortex Fuel Saver.
However, many people have trouble finding the fuel line, or the correct place on the fuel line, to install a Vortex Fuel Saver. Vortex strongly recommends having a certified mechanic install the system.

Why do I need to install a new air filter when installing a Vortex Fuel Saver? Proper air flow is crucial to the performance of the Vortex Fuel Saver. A dirty, or clogged, air filter reduces the amount of air available, preventing complete combustion of the fuel.

Do I need to do anything else after installing a Vortex Fuel Saver? After the Stabilization Period of two to four full tanks of gas, it is highly recommended you change your oil due to the Vortex Fuel Saver's ability to clean the carbon and varnish build up in your engine causing the oil to become dirty. After this oil change, you will be able to go for a longer period of time/more miles between oil changes, typically 1.5 to 2 times longer then before installing a Vortex Fuel Saver.

When will I see results? In most cars/light trucks there will be a measurable reduction in emissions and an increase in horsepower after the first mile or two of driving. The MPG will also start to increase which can be seen on many vehicles that have dashboard displays of MPG or Miles to Empty. The stabilization period for the average automobile/light truck is two to four tanks of gas -- the smaller the engine the less time it takes for the engine to acquire an electromotive force from a Vortex Fuel Saver.

Will a Vortex Fuel Saver work on fuel injection engines, carburetor engines, air cooled engines or hybrid cars? Yes to all.
The Vortex Fuel Saver works by effecting the fuel, not the engine (though it does remove the unburnt fuel from the engine), so it works on various types of engines and fuel delivery systems. It should be noted, however, that the Vortex Fuel Saver is a complete system enabling it to do so, unlike many of our pseudo-competitors whose products only work on carburetor engines.

Will a Vortex Fuel Saver disrupt my car's computer system? No, the essence of the Vortex Fuel Saver system is focusing power in one direction and negating it in the other. Putting two pieces of the system facing each other you can literally feel the power, however, putting two pieces of the system back to back you will notice there is no effect as the power is contained by a back plate. Furthermore, the car's computer is usually located inside the car, not in the engine, providing plenty of distance between the computer and a Vortex Fuel Saver.
