Hi
I've been thinking on placing a fuel saver using magnets on the fuel tube . The problem is that i don't know where this tube is . It has to be as close as possible to the motor entrance. I checked the manual but no clue where is it . There are a lot of tubes going inside the motor please help me. My accord is a 1999 model.
Thanks for the help

They tested these magnets on Mythbusters and found out they do nothing.

Yeah I agree, just plain marketing bs. Can't really blame the companies for trying though.

IMO these magnets are just plain BS, but this post and the last two don't exactly answer the question do they?:P

IMO, those magnets would function beter on the refridgerator. Magnets do nothing for performance, don't even bother trying to instal them.

I agree with the consensus that magnets will do nothing to save you fuel. That said, if you still want to give it a go, the fuel line attaches to your fuel rail, which is the last stop for fuel before being fed to the injectors and into the head. The stock fuel rail is long, rectangular and sits behind the top of the motor on the exhaust manifold. Wish I had a diagram, but I don't. Hopefully there is enough info here to help you look it up in your Chilton's manual, lol.

They do nothing at all. I bought some and didnot notice any change in mpg. So i took them off and put inside the oil pan.
