  By this issue of the newsletter, I had planned to have a section of our website open that would help people evaluate past and present fuel savers, giving an overview in this newsletter. The website upgrade is not finished, but will be; I'll let you know when it's done. There is a discussion group on fuel saving (complete with an archive so you can catch up). 
A lot of fuel savers have come and gone over the years. Some were frauds, which taints the reputation of legitimate products. I've had a harder time selling my fuel saving information because I get tainted with the same brush as the frauds, being guilty until proven innocent. I have several experiences that indicate the taint.
An example experience is an episode of a show called "Marketplace" that appeared on a Canadian Network called CBC. "Marketplace" is one of the consumer-protection shows the government sponcers. This episode featured five fuel savers that were being sold in America (USA and Canada) at the time. I got a copy of the show from one of my customers. "Marketplace" did independent testing on these fuel savers and followed up on invention claims. They found no measurable gains in mileage and falsified claims. My sales of fuel savers in Canada dropped to near zero overnight, even though my Carburetor Enhancer was not mentioned on the show. From another customer I learned that "Marketplace" actually DID test my Carburetor Enhancer and found it to EXCEED my customer testimonials. Yet "Marketplace" did not mention fuel savers that worked on the show, only ones that did not work. This automatically makes people believe that ALL fuel savers do not work. If they had mentioned that the Carburetor Enhancer worked, I would have made over a million dollars in sales overnight. I called "Marketplace" to ask WHY they didn't mention the fuel savers that worked or even just mention that some fuel savers do work. I got an attitude that said, "we report on fraud, we do not promote products that work." Ordinarily I'd think that was good enough but in this case they nearly killed my business and prevented thousands of people from actually saving fuel.   Some fuel savers work only marginally or only on a few vehicles and disappoint customers almost as much as the frauds. In this same area are the fuel savers that have sound principles but have components that fail and cause the customer disappointment (I've had this happen to me). This is the kind of thing I will be reporting on my website. Some fuel savers work well and are suppressed by 'vested interest'. I will cover this type of suppression in the next issue (April) of this newsletter.   And lastly, some fuel savers work well and are not completely suppressed.

At Eagle-Research, we don't call any of our products a 'fuel-saver' unless it saves at least 10% on at least 75% of vehicles it can be applied to. This is enough savings that people can actually see the savings without keeping meticulous records. Fuel savers that work but get less gains than 10%, I still define as combustion enhancement technology, just not 'fuel saver'.   We generally sell information that allows people to build, install and operate their own fuel savers. We do not patent this information or the devices. Continued research is financed by the sale of the books. We do not generally sell actual pre-made devices, though we do provide some parts as a customer convenience, if the customer asks.   I personally prefer fuel savers that enhance rather than replace the existing fuel system. Fuel savers that require little modification to the existing fuel system and can be shut off or disconnected, allowing the vehicle to continue without the device should there be any problem.  
For Carbureted Vehicles   Eagle-Research offers the Carburetor Enhancer, the Electronic Carburetor Enhancer and the HyCO 2A systems for carbureted vehicles. These should be installed in the order listed, waiting till you get each step working before proceeding to the next step. Generally, you can expect a 50-100% mileage gain, while retaining full performance.  
For Fuel Injected Vehicles   You must apply the EFIE device (build it yourself or buy it from us) before you apply ANY combustion enhancement device (no matter who you buy your fuel saver from). Fuel injection systems are designed to prevent fuel savers from working. The EFIE allows you to install fuel savers without the computer knowing that the fuel saver is there.   After applying the EFIE on fuel injection, the next step we offer is the HyCO 2A system. Generally you can expect a 25-50% mileage gain, while retaining full performance.  
For Diesel (and gasoline) turbocharged vehicles, we have developed the HyCO 2DT system. This gives about 10% increase in mileage while also increasing the power 10%. This has been independently verified by Cat and Perkins. We have applied them to vehicles as small as Volkswagen Jetta and as large as 1,000 horsepower boat engines. On 'class 8' diesel trucks (road tractors) the gain in power means taking hills in higher gears, saving hours of travel time.   Evaluating fuel savers and their effectiveness is a tricky business, because everybody's application is different. Where they are, when and how they drive, the particular vehicle, vehicle condition and environment conditions are just a few of the hundreds of variables. That's why EAGLE-RESEARCH has a satisfaction or money-back guarantee. We want ONLY satisfied customers.

Of course, we also try to help with advise if you need it. We've been in business since 1984, so we've gotten quite experienced.   Some vehicles will respond very well to any particular fuel saver and some will not gain anything no matter what you do. Most will favor some technology over others.   The performance of 'classes' of fuel savers can be somewhat generalized. The 'classes' of fuel savers below are very general and will be covered in detail in my website upgrade. Although I give some examples below I'm not particularly endorsing them over others in their class; I'm just giving examples that I remember without going to my files.  
• Fuel Conditioner devices, treating the liquid fuel with preheat, electrostatics, magnetic fields, orgone accumulators or dissimilar metals usually get minimal gains. The best give more power gains than mileage gains. These technologies are valid but need to be applied correctly or it's just 'smoke and mirrors'. An example is the 'Tripolion' from AZ Industries. They sell mostly overseas because of the tainted reputation that fuel savers have in North America. I define fuel conditioners to be technology that adds energy to the liquid fuel or changes the structure of the fuel WITHOUT adding significant chemicals to the fuel. This technology does not require additives on a regular basis.  
• Fuel Additives, to enhance combustion efficiency and increase power. There are a spectrum of additives on the market to increase combustion efficiency. An example is the 'Platinum Fuel Saver' from National Fuelsaver Corporation. This class of fuel saver requires you to buy 'additive' on a regular basis to keep saving fuel. Be sure that your additive cost does not exceed your fuel savings. Sometimes additives are (correctly enough) called fuel conditioners but for my classification, if the fuel saver is a product that adds chemicals on a regular basis to work, it is called an additive.  
• Engine modifications to increase power generally also increases mileage. These are modifications to the engine itself, not just a bigger or different fuel system. I usually leave this subject for racing literature to cover. Mostly I concentrate on combustion enhancement that can be achieved by the average backyard mechanic.  
• Oil Additives classification covers a very wide range of solutions that can be added to the oil. Some make the oil itself more slippery. Some make the metal surfaces more slippery. Generally I include only additives that increase engine efficiency by reducing friction in this classification. An example is 'Energy Release', made by Entech Corporation.  
• Water as fuel, covers several technologies which are detailed in my 'Water as Fuel, Book 1.' Some examples are listed below:  
• Electrolysis, the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from the vehicle's alternator. The resulting mixture usually enhances combustion of the fossil-fuel enough to get a net gain in performance and mileage. This is where the Brown's Gas technology merges with the combustion enhancement technology.  
• Hydrogen peroxide can be a fuel all of it's own, in special engines. When added as an assist to fossil-fuels it can increase the efficiency of the fuel burn quite a bit.  
• Mixing water and fossil-fuel. There are quite a few ways to do this. Has been done with excellent results for many years.  
• Using chemical reactions to split water, such as aluminum and Lye. Can produce hydrogen to run the engine at a cost of less than $1 per 100 miles. • much more....  
• Fuel Vaporizers cover a broad range of options. The simplest use techniques that increase fuel-vapor production using evaporation. More advanced vapor systems use heat from electricity and-or exhaust to achieve more fuel vaporization. The most advanced systems actually 'crack' the fuel, using a combination of heat and catalysts; so your engine might be running on natural gas (methane) cracked from the gasoline or diesel.  
• Ignition system upgrades get honorable mention. Though not usually a fuel saver, advanced ignition systems are definitely combustion enhancement technology. And quite often, if you apply fuel savers, advanced ignition systems help to optimize the gains. Dry fuel vapor requires a 'hotter' spark to ignite.  
• After market carburetors and fuel injection systems. Examples are the 'Fish' carburetor and 'Holley Projection' systems.  
• Tools to Assist Combustion Enhancement. One example is the Colortune, a clear spark plug that allows you to actually watch the fuel burn in the combustion chamber; an inexpensive and essential tool for those people trying to get maximum efficiency.  
• Suppliers of Parts and equipment that assist fuel saver projects. JC Whitney is one such supplier.  
• Books List. Will cover books that have been published that assist the fuel saver experimenter.   If you have know of any fuel savers in any of these categories that you want evaluated, be sure to mention it to me. ====================================================

As you know, civilization did not crumble due to Y2K bug. Some people say that doomsayers scared everyone for no reason. In my opinion the opposite is true. Because the doomsayers brought the problems to the attention of the public, the public forced attention to be spent on prevention instead of cure. So we spent billions on fixes instead of trillions on cures. I'm quite happy with the result; I'm sure you are too. Because of the preventative spending and the preparations, we had a fairly smooth transition into Y2K. Only a few people got paid twice, although it cost their employers millions. I know of only one person who got a billion dollars in his bank account. Lots of people lost access to their health insurance which caused health risks. A couple of banks got caught on assumptions, not having tested new programing because the older programing was Y2K compliant. Some nuclear power plants had to remain shut down. Millions of personal computers needed upgrades (including mine when Netscape 3 failed) that are still being done. Governments and military have more problems than admitted, more news is coming out AFTER they get the systems working again. There were a lot of glitches and more are happening, but mostly small stuff that becomes significant only because there is so much of it.

We (who are actively looking for the troubles) are only seeing the tip of them, because news of problems is suppressed.   The gas and oil industry is still not operating at optimum, so expect prices to rise a bit more. This is already causing truckers strikes in Canada with thousands of trucks in convoys slowing down traffic to a crawl. Independent truckers must pay for their own fuel, which has doubled in price in the last year. One State government left three of their computer systems unchanged, just to see what would happen. All three crashed on the first second of the year and could not be restarted. This is what would have happened to the whole world; so don't be too hard on the doomsayers, they did a great service in a very short time. They did not say that everything would crash; they said everything would crash IF IT WAS NOT FIXED. And they were very right. It is to their credit that most problems were addressed.  

The Y2K issue is NOT over, though most of the effects are mitigated. Companies and governments are just holding things together, still completing upgrades and there are still date hurdles to cross. Generally though, we've made it. There will be shock waves that slow the economy but it'll be OK for most people.  

I've learned a lot of people are giving away their stored supplies to charity. While I can appreciate the generosity, I must disagree with the logic. I used Y2K as an example date of a crisis because it could be foreseen. Most crisis in people's lives is not foreseeable and is just as needful of stored supplies as Y2K had the potential of being. Twice in my life I personally used nearly a years supply of food to help get my family past financial and health problems.  

Now that you have some supplies ahead, it is my advise to develop the habit of keeping it fresh by eating from it and replacing (rotating) what's eaten.
One of the mandates I have set for Eagle-Research is to promote self-reliance. While we generally focus on energy self-sufficiency, we feel that we have not provided enough help if people fail in other areas. What good does it do to be able to turn on the lights if you are starving? Enough preaching; just know that we CARE what happens to you. My advise is to prepare as our 'Do-it-Yourself Crisis Survival' book details. In doing this you actually GAIN security while saving money.   =====================================================
