Hey guys, i bought these fuel saver thingies off ebay for something to do and I have to put them on my fuel line. There is 2 lines and didnt know if fuel was fed thru both or if 1 took excess fuel back to the tank. If this is the case does someone know which is the one that feeds the motor fuel. The left or the right one?. Thanks guys

one will be the return line. I dont know about the VS, but on my VN the line on the "passenger" side of the fuel rail is the supply line, the one on the "driver" side (the rubber one) in the return line...

Let us know if the magnet works!

ive seen hiclone, the other ones that go on your fuel line, the ones that fit around your injectors and none made any difference if any it was small, not worth the cost anyway, but it'd be nice if there was one that did, im sure there is and there prob not cheap.

I'd be very careful cutting into fuel lines as they run at around 35 psi which is more pressure than is in your tyres. On a VS the lines are at the rear of the motor - both in and out. With the greatest respect I'd like to suggest that you will benefit more by leaving these "gadgets" in the boot uninstalled besause if you instal them and something goes wrong it will cost you far more than what these "gadgets' claim to save. We all want to save $$$ and there are plenty of people out there who will sell us (for $$$) the way to save $$$.....I wonder why.

yeah it's like putting an add in the paper saying 'send me $5 dollars and I'll tell you how to make a $1000' then when they send $5 send a letter back saying 'put an ad in the paper saying send me $5 and I'll tell you how to make $1000'. :rofl:

This contraption is just a little thing thats hooks onto your fuel line, u dont need to cut it or anything like that.... im pretty sure that it wouldNT bugger it up.
