Activating the Fuel Savings
The final step in installing the MTech Fuel Saver is to wait 30 minutes and then run the engine for five minutes between 50% and 60% of maximum engine rpm. We took max rpm to be where the thick red line started, which was at 6500, thus making 3250 the 50% mark and 3900 the 60% mark.
The five minute requirement was based on the mileage of the car, with younger cars requiring only two minutes.

Testing the Fuel Tank Filler Tube for Obstructions
One thing cannot be denied about the MTech Fuel Saver: it installs very easily. The only hitch we had was when we had to make sure there was no obstruction in the fuel tank filler tube.
To test this, we connected the fuel tank component to a long flexible wire and then lowered the fuel component down into the tank. We then pulled it back up and sniffed it for gas. We had to push it down a decently long distance. Sure enough, it smelled as if it had been dunked in fuel.

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.
