Quick and Easy Installation of MTech Fuel Saver

One appealing reason to try the MTech Fuel Saver is its fast and simple installation of the three components. The only uncertainty we had was if the car had an anti-siphon device in the fuel filler tube that would prevent the installation of the fuel tank component. Once we determined that it did not, we dropped it in and heard it clank when it hit the bottom of the fuel tank.

The air component goes into the air filter compartment, treating pre-filtered air. I don't think there is a difference between treating filtered air and unfiltered air. Rather, I suspect it is a safety element - you don't want anything that big getting sucked into the engine.

A double-faced adhesive attached to the air component made mounting simple. Just stick it to a flat surface. However, I am pretty sure the adhesive will dry out over time and need to be attached more securely.

Next, we attached the radiator hose component with a clamp that came with the kit. That took all of 30 seconds. The mechanic was loving this installation.

Finally, we pushed the fuel tank component down the fuel filler tube until we heard a metallic clank.

In my next post, I'll describe how we determined that there were no obstacles in the fuel fillter tube that would prevent us from dropping the fuel component into the tank. Had there been such an obstacle, we would have had to either remove the fuel pump (long procedure) or remove the fuel fillter tube (not very appealing).
