Will,

this may be of little use, but someone else in the UK may be able
to help more. On BBC morning television Weds/Thurs this week they
were demonstrating a device they described as a "oxygen magnet",
which effectivly attracted more oxygen into system producing a more
efficient and powerful combustion. The net result was reduced emission
to about 33% of original and more power, better fuel comsumption
( I know sounds too good ..). The actual device was green and
cylindrical about 3 inches long 1.5 across. It seemed to fit
in-line on an air hose or something. Available in the UK for
£30 apparently, soon to be released in the US.

I'm afraid that is all I know, but another UK lister may have more
details.

Regards

David.

{}  Ok, now I'm really pissed off.
{}  
{}  After spending hours readying my 76 Spit for its fifth emission test, I
