PROPER INSTALLATION IS IMPERATIVE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE UNIT.
The EnergyCel product - properly installed - works 100% of the time.
Assembling the Unit:
Before installing, partially assemble the unit with one side open – this is easier than trying to do it inside the engine.
1) If neccessary, on a narrow fuel line remove backing from foam padding strips and apply to the face of each magnet (Figure 4).
2) Turn each piece perpendicular to the other (to ease assembly with powerful magnetic field) while inserting first screw and locknut (Figure 2).
3) After installation of the first screw, rotate the magnet side to align holes for insertion of the second screw (Figure 3).
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 to attach the third magnet strip to the unit. Leave one seam open to allow mounting over the fuel line (Figure 5).
Installation:
Enter relevant information on your INSTALLATION CHECKLIST. Note mileage, engine type(V6, V8, cu.in./litters, gas/diesel), engine RPM at idle prior to installation and current fuel economy (MPG) if known.
1) On all computer-aided vehicles, disconnect the negative post on the battery for at least 15 minutes prior to/during installation to reset the ECM. Often, pressing the brake for 3-4 seconds will help release built-up energy in the capacitors.
2) Locate the intake fuel line by tracing the fuel line from the fuel filter to the injection/carburation system. Be sure you have located the intake, not the return line. There are multiple lines that will not be effective to install the unit around. Also note that just because a line is marked “fuel” does not make it the correct line.
3) Once you have located the intake line, use a small refrigerator-style magnet to test the magnetic quality of the line. Units will not work effectively on steel lines, or any ferrous (attracted to magnets) metal. Stainless steel, copper, brass aluminum or rubber lines are fine.
4) When you have located a place on the intake line that is non-ferrous (where the magnet will not stick), be sure there is enough space for the line to be straight for the length of the unit, plus 2 inches on the engine side of the unit. NOTE: It does not matter how many turns the line has between the unit and the engine as long as the 2-3 inches on the engine side of the unit are straight. This configuration is necessary for the centrifugal force and rifling effect after the fuel passes through the unit to split molecules apart.
5) Slip the EnergyCel over the fuel line, close and insert final screws and self-locking nuts through the holes provided. All 3 magnets should be evenly distributed around fuel line. Tighten all nuts securely.
6) Remove the backing from the rubber pad and adhere to the side of the unit nearest the vehicle frame.
7) Insert cable ties through long slots in the unit and tighten until the unit is firmly attached to the vehicle.
8) Following installation, start the vehicle and run for 2 minutes at 2,000 RPM. Most vehicles will show a reduction in RPM at idle, but any change is an indication that the unit is working.
Things You Need to Know:
1) The biggest installation problem is that with tens of thousands retail users, most people do not know how to accurately determine an increase in mileage. Be sure if someone is going to check fuel mileage, that they have accurately determined fuel mileage prior to EnergyCel installation, so the results will be valid.
2) In the working area of the unit (through the unit, plus 2-3 inches on the engine side), the fuel line needs to be straight.
3) Emissions could temporarily rise due to the release of carbon buildup inside the engine, but significant positive results should occur within about 2 tanks of fuel (see High-Mileage Vehicles section)
4) Secondary magnetic fields are a problem and can distort the effects of the unit. Secondary magnetic fields can be caused by:
a) Steel lines in close proximity to the magnetic field on the engine side of the unit (would reverse power of magnetic field)
b) Electricity, i.e. steel with electrical wire around it, electrical current from loose ground wire somewhere else in the engine, static electricity, etc. Electricity is measurable with a voltmeter.
c) Heat caused by placing the unit on top or next to turbo and/or intake/exhaust manifolds, or anything hot.
5) The biggest installation problem in new cars is finding an appropriate place to put the unit, as sometimes there is simply not enough room.
6) Due to the magnetic strength of the EnergyCel, avoid installing the unit in close proximity (within 4 inches) to anything electronic in nature, i.e. computers, electric solenoids, distributors, etc.
7) It is important to CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER within 1000-1500 miles after installation as the oil will become dirty faster than normal because the engine is burning the carbon deposits. As the engine becomes cleaner, the fuel mileage to change oil and filter should increase.
8) In the event that you have determined that there is no viable place on which to install the unit in your vehicle, the only option is to intersect (aka. pigtail, loop, cut into, replace) the line with a non-ferrous insert. Please note this process is never recommended by the company and may in some cases void vehicle warranty on the fuel system and/or open the door for liability. If performed, this process should be done ONLY by the vehicle’s owner/company and/or their mechanics. DISTRIBUTORS SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT THIS PROCESS. Understand that the Company never recommends this procedure.
