Hello John, Read your message and noted that you are interested in coconut oil for bio diesel. So am I. For security reason the list monitor cannot allow attachments, if you are interested I will attach a paper by Dr. Dan Etherington presented at the 19th Pacific Science Congress in 1999, if you send me your email address.

Attn Steve, I am very particular of the true octane rating of the gasoline. My vehicle which I tested with the magnet is a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder equipped with an anti- knock compensator in which a sensor that detects 'pings' or 'knocks' would automatically retard the engine timing in order to eliminate knocking. The whole system is done by an on-board computer that controls the EFI and others. The gasoline octane required by my car is 90 octane and above. The highest octane rating available here in the Philippines is 97octane, which supposedly will not cause any knocking. But it does, especially during acceleration. So I have reason to believe that the petroleum companies are cheating the consumers and would presume that the octane rating is below 90. Otherwise with my car's requirement of 90 octane, there should be no knocking observed. So after the attachment of the magnet, the knocking sound was eliminated and it felt like you are adding octane booster. If you still question my knowledge of the octane booster, let me tell you that I used to add avgas (aviation gasoline for the planes) which has an octane ratng of 100. I had to buy it at the airport and added it to my fuel tank. The result was the same as when I put the magnet. As I mentioned earlier, it is quieter and smoother especially during acceleration. I decided to test this magnet thing because there are too many discussions made that I almost decided to 'unsubscribe'. I heard of this magnet thing 10 years ago, never tried it because I did not believe it. Last March, in one of Japan's leading off-road magazine called "4x4 Magazine", on page 103, there was an article entitled "Environmental Friendly and Powerful" which featured a Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon with 4D56 diesel engine equipped with a strong magnet. It says "strong magnet reduced the amount of black smoke from the exhaust. If you want more power, but if you end up spouting with lots of black smoke, that would be a problem. Power Green is a product that uses strong magnetism to alter fuel at the atomic level and it can be easily be fitted into your car by cutting and inserting it into fuel line. It has the effect of cutting down black smoke." I was intrigued by this article but the thought just passed by until last week when you wrote that you did not believe in this ( and neither did I. I was never a believer because I have already wasted so much time and money in fuel devices as mini turbo charger, putting lead in the fuel tank, buying expensive sparkplugs, etc.) and I decided to test it by myself because I had 2 very powerful magnets which I purchased from Kuffman Surplus in Orange County California in 1994. I asked the storekeeper where it came from. He did not know. It is so powerful that one should be very careful not to be pinned especially between 2 pices of these magnets. And if you are questioning again about octane rating, I had been testing that avgas fuel with 100 octane with my older car which was a Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 twin carburetor with compression ratio of 9.5:1 which required an octane rating of 97. I seldom used the car coz I could only buy the fuel when I went to the airport. And the knock of the car when I used commercial fuel from the pumping station which they claimed to contain 97octane, was like hell. I had to manually readjust the ignition timing (retard). The specification was 10degrees +- 2 degrees. But I had to retard it to 5 degrees. The result was loss of power and stalling during acceleration. I have been trying it for several years, by adjusting and adding additives. Everytime I used avgas, I set it at 10 degrees. No knock and a very smooth running engine. Re the magnet, I just tried it 1 week ago, before I wrote to the group. So it's up to you to believe it or not. If you want more info re the article in the JApanese magazine, just write to me. I came to join this group in the hope of finding some info about coconut oil for biodiesel. Actually I am a very busy guy who is gathering information about cocodiesel and minding my own business. But I was challenged to try this magnet thing. And before I unsubscribe (because I cannot read all the mails that have been flooding my inbox), I would just like to share what I experienced. That's all, folks.

The result was an instant smoother engine. I tried to drive it around and it was really smoother and quiieter. It might just be my imagination . The next day, I put another magnet on the opposite side of the first magnet. So the rubber hose was already in between the 2 magnets. I taped the magnets together, thinking it would further improve the smoothness or increase the power. But the result was the opposite. The power and smoothness was lesser than when using one magnet only. So now, I removed the magnet below and left the one on top, as is, and still enjoyed the smoothness of the engine. I still can't believe it worked. I did not do any adjustment. > > John > ----- Original Message ----- > From: steve spence > To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 11:48 PM > Subject: Re: [biofuel] Re: magnets in fuel line. > > > extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence. notice how they get > all upset when you ask them to prove it. especially when it's not evidence > that they themselves have seen, but are parroting from someone else. > > "so and so told me", or "I saw a video" doesn't cut it. show me peer > reviewed science that proves the claims, explains the science, or shut up > about this crap. > > It's heartening to see that some folks can still think logically, and not > get caught up in the "religious fervor". > > > Steve Spence > Subscribe to the Renewable Energy Newsletter: > http://www.webconx.com/subscribe.htm > > Renewable Energy Pages - http://www.webconx.com > Palm Pilot Pages - http://www.webconx.com/palm > X10 Home Automation - http://www.webconx.com/x10 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > (212) 894-3704 x3154 - voicemail/fax > We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, > we borrow it from our children. > -- > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 11:42 AM > Subject: [biofuel] Re: magnets in fuel line. > > > > In some of the test that claim they got better milage and such, some > > investigations found out that the people tuned the engine up after > > the put the magnets on then ran the 2nd part of the test.. > > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > It's amazing that the people still buy into the magnet stuff.
