If there were there is a magnetic field inside of your alternator and Detroit could run your fuel line through or around your alternator and improve your fuel mileage. That old wives tale has been around for years and there is not a shred of truth to it. Had they bothered to call me for some advice I could have told them to save their $$$$.
They were installed on the bus that I drove. Several years ago our esteemed school district, at the advice of a new assistant superintendent installed magnets around the fuel lines on 70 of our school buses.
I always told my students that if it really did improve fuel mileage then Detroit would have incorporated it into their vehicles. Now if you were to add all the small improvements to aerodynamics that have been incorporated into today's vehicles it probably does add up to significant fuel savings. It's been proven that they don't save fuel but I suppose they are still COOL. It was supposed to improve gas mileage and it is also COOL. You've seen many a pickup with a net instead of a tailgate. And you can rest easy knowing you have chosen a quality product from a market leader in truck air deflectors, sunvisors, stoneguards, headlight covers and weathershields.Probably good advice. When you add to this the improved handling and additional cost savings by reduced maintenance cost and drive train wear, installing an Airplex Air Deflector make perfect sense. That's real money in your pocket if you are an owner-operator.Īirplex Truck Top Air Deflectors (or roof mount airfoil) decrease drag and increase aerodynamic efficiency, while cab extenders reduce the gap between the tractor and trailer or box body and increase efficiency and hence lower fuel requirements. At 100,000 km per year and todays fuel prices that equates to some very large savings in fuel alone. Proper truck aerodynamics is one way to save as much as 6%- 20% (as shown by independent - Isuzu and Freightliner studies) on fuel costs. Fuel prices aren't going to decrease anytime soon so it is beneficial to work out every way possible to save fuel costs and that means decreasing drag whenever possible. Wind drag matters! Drag is wind resistance and reducing that drag could spell the difference between a profitable run and the break even point. Most models are available with or without side skirts (cab extenders) for optimum aerodynamics and aesthetics . Individually styled to suit each model truck.Enhance looks and styling with Airplex' smooth modern designs.Great for sign-writing and advertising space.Easier towing, better stability, reduced spray and less stress on driver and engine are additional benefits. An Airplex air deflector is guaranteed fuel savings. Improved aerodynamics of your truck by improving the airflow around the cab and the box/body of the truck. Use the 'FIT MY VEHICLE' to find specific product for your truck.Īn Airplex roof mount Air Deflector is the simplest, most effective truck aerodynamic device, offering maintenance free fuel saving & aerodynamic performance for the life of the vehicle.
