Re Fuelstar
Tin in a tin fitted into the fuel line
Our local consumer organisation took them to court.
The Automobile Association arranged tests through Sydney University (
Australia) - no proof that claims are valid.
We also have at the moment magnetic devices that clip on the fuel lines, air
intakes, and radiator hoses - all claimed to fix what may be wrong with
them.
Unfortunately in NZ we dont have legislation that requires people flogging
this sort of thing to be able to prove their claims before putting them on
the market. The onus of proof is on the complainant to show that they dont
work.
