Improved power, fuel saving and better for the environment.
The Ecoflow Motoflow magnetic fuel saver is designed to condition the fuel prior to combustion to increase power output, save fuel, and reduce emissions.
The combustion process of fuel produces energy (heat & power), hydrocarbons (the unburned and waste fuel) and pollutant gases. Factors affecting the efficiency of combustion, and therefore the output of the engine or apparatus being fuelled, include the quality of the fuel, the quality of the air and the ratio of fuel to air.
Has anyone tried motoflow?

i just installed a SG2 unit in my smart and found that when i lift my foot from the gas pedal, i get 9999MPG in my smart with 0.00GPH fuel flow. i think using this driving technique with magnets would make make a gallon of gas last a year or two, and if i installed a generator to capture energy from braking, i could run my home on the excess energy :)

Hi, Jxx
That's the ECU tracking throttle Open/Closed status that the SG is detecting. In our (Aussie) owners manual it tells us not to drift in N towards a stop because the ECU will not detect throttle closed and cut off fuel... In other words: if the ECU "thinks" it is cruising to a stop - it cuts off fuel supply: hence one gets infinite miles per gallon (it sees miles going by with zero fuel... ye olde divide by zero). Since the SG cannoty display infiity, it shows 9999... whatevers.
Cheers, Ian

yes, when you coast in neutral, the engine reverts to "idle" with fuel, so it's feeding 0.2 gallons per hour instead of 0.0 when the computer shuts the fuel off. but, coasting in N you will go faster and farther, no engine braking. so you only get 160 MPG instead of 9999MPG.
i wonder if someone has published any other smart manual on the internet. the USA smart is a totally different beast from the rest of the world.

Copyright laws?
I'm doing some architectural historical research at the moment and just got an old sales catalog on inter-library loan. It's circa 1922, and seems to be quite scarce... canna be copyright: so scan it... so I thought... blasted Dell multi-function device had run out of ink and refused to work... so spent hours re-commissioning my old Visioneer scanner by rigging up a 240 to 12 V power supply (it was circa 2000 in the US)... then spent a lot longer than expected scanning a 40 page pamphlet.
200 or so pages of a smart manual... I'll think about it... how bored do I need to be?
I do have the pdf of the USA manual that was posted. It may have come from an M-B original; not a scan. Every page is different to the World / Aussie manual. Some of the recommendations are poles apart... such as World: don't warm up the engine before driving off (but don't hoof it); USA: warm it up. Transmissions, oil changes and warranties all suggest that smart USA are wary of Joe Blow not being familiar with small, hi-tech engines..?

They busted this on Mythbusters and a few other fuel economy devices
The popular U.S. television show MythBusters investigated several fuel-saving devices using both fuel-injected cars and diesel powered cars under very controlled circumstances.
The concept of fuel line magnets, which supposedly align the fuel molecules so they burn better, was tested and they determined it made no difference in the rate of fuel consumption. They also tested the idea that adding a small amount of acetone to gasoline increases fuel efficiency by making the gasoline burn more completely (presumably without damaging the plastic parts of the fuel system.) However, the result was that alhough there was no apparent damage the fuel system, the efficiency of the fuel actually decreased.
They also tested the theory that a diesel-powered car can run on hydrogen gas alone, which surprisingly, was confirmed as viable, although hydrogen gas itself is very expensive. They also tested a device that supposedly produces sufficient hydrogen to power a car by running an electric current through water (which causes its molecules to split into hydrogen and oxygen). Although some hydrogen was produced, the amount was minuscule compared to the quantity necessary to run a car for even a few seconds. Some people claim that their method wasn't correct for a number of reasons. Mainly that the hydrogen is supposed to be supplemental to assist a better, more efficient burn of the fuel, rather than using hydrogen as the only fuel. One of the other supposed mistakes in their experiment was the gap spacing between the stainless steel pipes.
The show also tested a carburetor that, according to its manufacturer, could improve fuel efficiency to 300 miles per gallon. However, the device actually made the car less fuel efficient.
They also determined that a diesel-powered car can run on used cooking oil though they did not check whether it damaged the engine.
The show noted that out of 104 fuel efficiency devices tested by the EPA, only seven showed any improvement in efficiency, and even then, the improvement was never more than six percent. The show also noted that if any of the devices they tested actually worked to the extent they were supposed to, the episode would have been one of the most legendary hours of television. The show also cited common sense by stating that if there really was a device that dramatically increased fuel efficiency, it would certainly be common knowledge

Yep,
Saw that episode (again) a few weeks ago... repeats can be useful! Totally busted.
Next is the cyclonic fuel mixers? (HiClone) ????
With the smart; most fuel is wasted idling at a stop... hence mhd.

Every few years this seems to do the rounds, what a load of bol--cks...........................

The ONLY folks that derive any profit from this and other schemes like it, are the "inventors" and resellers who perpetrate the myth. It's amazing what loads of crap will be bought by unsuspecting, kind folks. I guess all it takes to sell junk like this is a "serious" demeanor and an insistance that "it really works" or "I wouldn't be selling it."
As mentioned earlier - use your common sense. If it were really true, everyone would know about it. If it were as simple as, say, magnets or hydrogen generators (HHO2)?? or "turbo-swirlers" (or whatever they're called) - we'd all be rich from all the gas we've managed to save.
Save your $$$ for bling~!
