You can buy a lot of diesel for the price of that snake oil.
Save your money for a real performance product.

Trucks TV show did a test of it on an '06 CR and it only showed a 3% increase determined by the overhead computer.

Send Hohn a PM and ask him about it. I think he tried one on his truck at one time.

Justin Hohn has/had the pellets in the tank on his Maxima, IIRC.
On our CTD's you need the external canister in the fuel line. Very expensive for the small gain.... but there is a gain (i've heard).

all it is, is a stack of copper wooven plates that are arranged to not slow down the flow rate. There was a guy in a both at a convention that I was at that reped. this product, and he told me that it is just pure copper. It may have some kind of coat on it to keep from turning green a stuff. So when I told him that I could make that my self and not pay a ton for it, he started telling me that if I did that would be copy right and all other legal terms he could throw at me to scare me off.

nothing illegal about replicating something as long as you don't sell it

So could you theoretically just throw a roll of pennies in your tank in stead of the bullets?

I don't see why not as long as it doesn't effect the fuel pickup

Just make sure they're copper pennies and not zinc ones.... What is the copper supposed to do exactly, anyway? Why not run a copper fuel line from the tank if copper is supposed to do something?
