[QUOTE="kaitsdad, post: 374548, member: 1222"] Come on guys, we all know that magnets can affect ferrous compounds within their field reach. That's a simple fact of physics. Assuming that the fuel being used contains molecular ferric levels, it's entirely possible that it could affect FI systems. Also, let's not forget that many silicon based integrated circuit chips used in FI systems are, in fact, not really silicon based - but ferrous oxide based, also known as "rust" chips. This is due to the cost cutting efforts used in the chip manufacturing industry. Just take a tour of the Frito-Lay factory some time, and you'll understand. That being said, and all things being equal, one could simply add H2O to one's fuel, which would have the affect of combining the O2 with the Fe molecules in the fuel, binding them together into FeO2 which would then precipitate out of the fuel stream before hitting the injectors, and no issues will occur. You'd simply have to clean the precipitate out of your fuel filter on a regular basis. I've sometimes had to substitute Diet Pepsi for H2O when the latter wasn't available, which has the added benefit of a dose of caffeine to the fuel mix - easily adding another 500 rpm to the speed of the engine before valve float becomes an issue. However, it does' result in random 'burps' as the CO2 gas in the Diet Pepsi is ejected out of the exhaust system following expansion. :blink: Honest. It's da twuth !! [/QUOTE]
