1. Is a Vortex Fuel Saver easy to install?
  Yes, there are no moving parts and no tools are required for installation.  The system is easily secured to the fuel line, water hose and air intake with the fasteners included with a Vortex Fuel Saver.  However, many people have trouble finding the fuel line, or the correct place on the fuel line, to install a Vortex Fuel Saver.  Vortex strongly recommends having a certified mechanic install the system.

2. Why do I need to install a new air filter when installing a Vortex Fuel Saver?  
  Proper air flow is crucial to the performance of the Vortex Fuel Saver.  A dirty, or clogged, air filter reduces the amount of air available, preventing complete combustion of the fuel.

3. Do I need to do anything else after installing a Vortex Fuel Saver?  
  After the Stabilization Period of two to four full tanks of gas, it is highly recommended you change your oil due to the Vortex Fuel Saver's ability to clean the carbon and varnish build up in your engine causing the oil to become dirty.  After this oil change, you will be able to go for a longer period of time/more miles between oil changes, typically 1.5 to 2 times longer then before installing a Vortex Fuel Saver.

4. When will I see results? 
  In most cars/light trucks there will be a measurable reduction in emissions and an increase in horsepower after the first mile or two of driving.  The MPG will also start to increase which can be seen on many vehicles that have dashboard displays of MPG or Miles to Empty.  The stabilization period for the average automobile/light truck is two to four tanks of gas -- the smaller the engine the less time it takes for the engine to acquire an electromotive force from a Vortex Fuel Saver.

5. Will a Vortex Fuel Saver work on fuel injection engines, carburetor engines, air cooled engines or hybrid cars?
  Yes to all.  The Vortex Fuel Saver works by effecting the fuel, not the engine (though it does remove the unburnt fuel from the engine), so it works on various types of engines and fuel delivery systems.  It should be noted, however, that the Vortex Fuel Saver is a complete system enabling it to do so, unlike many of our pseudo-competitors whose products only work on carburetor engines.

6. Will a Vortex Fuel Saver disrupt my car's computer system?
 

No, the essence of the Vortex Fuel Saver system is focusing power in one direction and negating it in the other.  Putting two pieces of the system facing each other you can literally feel the power, however, putting two pieces of the system back to back you will notice there is no effect as the power is contained by a back plate.  Furthermore, the car's computer is usually located inside the car, not in the engine, providing plenty of distance between the computer and a Vortex Fuel Saver.
