| How Does The Fuel Saver 5000™ Work? |
Since engines run on vapor gas instead
of liquid gas, the Fuel Saver 5000™ injects vapor gas
into the engine, causing your vehicle to cut back on
the liquid gas running through the present fuel system.
On Carbureted Vehicles: The accelerator doesn't need
to be pushed down as far to get you down the road.
On Fuel Injected Vehicles: The computer will compensate
for the added vapor. For more information see our How
It Works page.
Simply put, here's how it works...
* Liquid gas is fed to the unit.
* The liquid gas is turned to vapor gas through a "cold
vaporizing system."
* The vapor gas is injected directly into the intake
manifold through your PVC line.
* The liquid gas passing through the vehicle's present
fuel system is decreased to compensate for the added
vapor gas. The oxygen sensor sends a signal (to the
computer) of the added vapor in the system, and the
computer automatically cuts back the flow of liquid
gasoline to the injectors to compensate for the added
vapor. Your vehicle is still producing the same gas
vapor-to-air ratio as before, but now you are vaporizing
your fuel more efficiently, thus producing better gas
mileage and cleaner emissions!
* Because you are still maintaining the same vapor-to-air
ratio that was designed by the auto manufacturer's specifications
(14.7 to 1), the Fuel Saver 5000™ WILL NOT harm your
engine in any way, and therefore will not void your
car's warranty! |

| What Increase In Mileage
Can I Expect? |
| We have received average
reports of 40% increase in mileage here in the United
States, and 30-35% in countries over seas. As with any
average, some reports or more than this and some are less.

Will It Affect My Horsepower? |
| Since this is a cold vapor system, the
Fuel Saver 5000™ will give you a dramatic increase in horsepower.
So much so, that it has been hooked up to dragsters. |

|
| Will I Have To Change Driving
Habits Or Fuel Grade? |
| The Fuel Saver 5000™ works with present
conditions. You will get better mileage driving 55 mph
and running 91 octane; however, this is not necessary
to achieve the average increase. |

|
| What Is The Warranty With
The Fuel Saver 5000™ ? |
| The Fuel Saver 5000™ comes with a manufacturer's
90-day warranty. Should the Fuel Saver 5000™ become defective
within 90 days, you may return it along with your receipt
to the manufacturer and it will be repaired or replaced
(at the manufacturer's discretion). Shipping, handling
and installation costs are non-refundable. Damage due
to abuse will void all warranties. Damage due to shipping
is not covered under warranty therefore we recommend that
you purchase shipping insurance. We DO NOT offer money-back
guarantees. |

|
| Will This Void My Vehicle
Warranty? |
| The Magnuson-Moss Act was passed by Congress
in regard to retro-fit devices. This act states, in effect,
that anything added to your vehicle that does not harm
the engine or transmission will not void the warranty.
Local garages might not be familiar with this law, so
check around before bringing your vehicle in. Find a mechanic
who is either familiar with this law, or one who will
not be argumentative or refuse to perform the necessary
work. |

|
| How Do I Adjust The Vapor
Control Module? |
| The vapor control module is adjusted according
to mileage and nothing else. If you don't see a difference
in gas mileage, continue moving the VAPOR CONTROL SCREW
until maximum mileage is obtained. If it is OPEN too far,
you will start to lose mileage. Move the VAPOR CONTROL
SCREW 1/16" at a time after each mileage check. |

What Happens If I Tee
Into The Wrong Fuel Line? |
| If the return fuel line is tee'd into,
on carbureted vehicles, you might not have enough gas
to run the unit. So, remember to tee into the supply line
on carbureted vehicles, and the return line on fuel injected
vehicles. |

|
| Do I Need A Schrader Solenoid
Kit with the Fuel Saver 5000™ ? |
| No. |
| BACK
TO TOP |
|
| When Would I Need A Schrader
Kit? |
| A Schrader Kit is used on fuel-injected
vehicles that have a valve on the fuel rail, which can
be used instead of the gas line tee, but is not required.
About 5% of vehicles now have plastic gas lines. DO NOT
CUT INTO THE PLASTIC LINES. You might need to purchase
special adapters for these vehicles at your local auto
parts store. |

Why Not Leave The Clear
Hose On All The Time? |
| The clear hose is to adjust the vapor control
lever for the first adjustment. If left on after this
it will turn brown, get weak and collapse. |
| BACK
TO TOP |
|
| Why Do I Need 5 Feet Of
Hose? |
| Through rigorous testing, we have found
that if the vapor out hose is less than 5 feet, it will
start reducing the mileage that the Fuel Saver 5000™ will
give you. |
| BACK
TO TOP |
|
| Why Replace The Oxygen
Sensor? |
| If the oxygen sensor is not working properly
you will experience worse gas mileage with the Fuel Saver 5000™, because the computer will not adjust the injectors
to compensate for the extra vapor gas being fed to the
engine. Original equipment works the best. |

What If I Can't or
Don't Have A PCV Valve To Hook To? |
The Fuel Saver 5000™ has been installed
on many engines without PCV valves with great success,
including, but not limited to, farm equipment, boats,
airplanes, muscle cars, generators, etc. To install
the Fuel Saver 5000™ on these types of engines follow
the directions below:
1) Run the 5-foot vapor hose to a vacuum port on the
intake manifold. This might be in the base of the carburetor,
or you might need to drill and tap the manifold to fit
a barb nipple. It does not necessarily need to be centered
in the intake manifold.
2) Filter the fresh air entering the Fuel Saver 5000™.
This can be done by running a hose from the nipple on
the Fuel Saver 5000™ to a fabricated nipple in the air
breather, or see Option 4.
3) Adjust the incoming air. Do this by installing a
1/8" Pipe valve, in the line, in step 2, or see
Option 4. Leave this wide open, unless you experience
surging of the engine. In such a case, close it until
performance is optimized and there is still a swirling
effect on the gas in the clear tube. We don't want the
gas just laying in the clear tube while the engine running.
4) The PCV "in" nipple on the Fuel Saver 5000™ can be removed and replaced by a 1/8" street
valve (NAPA #6824), and then fitted with a small filter
NAPA #3046. |

| Are There Any Parts
On The Fuel Saver 5000™ To Wear Out? |
| The only wear that might occur on the Fuel Saver 5000™ is the gas wearing the vapor control seat down,
just by the gas passing over it after several years. When
and if this should occur, simply close the vapor control
adjustment a 1/16". |
| BACK
TO TOP |
|
| Are Any Parts Breakable? |
| Since the Fuel Saver 5000™ is a very sturdy
all-metal design with no moving parts, it is highly unlikely
that any of the parts will break. |

| How Often Do I Need To
Empty The Secondary Vaporizer Chamber? |
| Due to potential water contaminates in
the fuel, it might be necessary to empty these contaminates
in the Secondary Vaporizer Chamber periodically. Make
sure you dispose of them according to Federal and State
EPA laws. It is recommended that you check it every 5000
miles, and empty as necessary. |
| BACK
TO TOP |
|
| What Happens If I Fail
To Empty The Secondary Vaporizer Chamber? |
Should the Secondary Vaporization become full of moisture,
the liquid gas might not vaporize efficiently in that
chamber. You might notice moisture seeping out of the
Oxygen Intake Vacuum hole. If you notice this, simply
unscrew the Secondary Vaporization Chamber and dispose
of the contents according to Federal and State EPA laws.
|
| BACK
TO TOP |
|
| What Is In The Secondary
Vaporizer Chamber? |
| The Secondary Vaporization Chamber is designed
to encapsulate any excess gasoline that continues to flow
after the engine is turned off, due to back pressure.
Upon starting your engine, the vacuum inside the chamber,
along with the engine compartment heat, vaporizes the
gas and reintroduces the gas vapor into the engine. This
is the reason you don't need the Schrader Solenoid Valve
kit. |

|
| Does It Work With Other
Fuel Savers? |
| The Fuel Saver 5000™ will works great with
other fuel-saving products such as magnets, hydro-systems,
platinum-systems, tornados, high-performance ignition
systems, etc. If hydro or platinum units are used, mount
these between the Fuel Saver 5000™ and the intake manifold. |
