An old MPG gizmo I found, the Elektro-Karb "sonic fuel vaporizer."

So I was sorting through my Dad's tools and garage stuff and I found a box with this interesting fuel economy "improvement" thingy. It's called the Elektro-Karb. It's supposed to add "sonic frequency waves" and vaporize the fuel for increased fuel economy. I think it set of Dad's BS detector as much as mine as it doesn't seem to have been installed before. I'm guessing it might have been something my mom ordered off an infomercial or something.

You're supposed to put it online in your PVC hose.

Not that it has a chance of doing anything, but I might just install it if I ever get a rig with TBI style fuel injection or a carburetor. Just for grins.

Terrible product. The way the sonic frequency alters the air waves in the intake passes through to the exhaust and that chews up the muffler bearings real bad. Cost me thousands to replace those last time.....

Would you flatten the instruction page, possibly under a sheet of glass, and post a photo of the whole thing?

Any address given? ...on the box? What's inside it? Is it internally fused? COO? UL listed? (ha-ha)

Amazon no gots.

I look at the grey body of the thing and wonder what it was in its former life. I'm open to the idea of it being recycled trash. Perhaps the grey thing was part of a thread spool?

My guess is you better not put it in a high pressure line. Anything over 5-10 psi would probably be dangerous.

The old JC Whitney had so many gas saving devices...The joke was I installed all of them and had to drain off a gallon of gas each day so the gas tank did not overflow.... :ROFLMAO:

Yeah they had that exhaust tip that you put on and depending on how fast or slow you were going there was a valve that rotated inside apparently it was creating back pressure so you had enough horsepower while driving around town. I don't know what's worse bad products like that for a company that would be willing to even put that in a catalog to sell for people.
 
Mine has an additional green wire and it actually allows my turbocharged car to use 86 which has saved me thousands over the last 18 years
 
I had a customer at work rave about how much better his MPG was using one of those $30 eBay OBD2 fuel savers that are four cents worth of trash electronics that do nothing but blink an LED to make you feel good. I went "uh huh" and smiled. People really are dumb!

Did you ask to see his gas records? (ha-ha)
