Ecoflow - Save Money on Petrol and Diesel with Motoflow Fuel Conditioners

For drivers doing average mileage, one Motoflow is sufficient and can deliver a saving of 5-8% and pay for itself in around 6-8000 miles. In some cases, heavy footed drivers may find the Motoflow delivers more power, rather than economy.

On mechanical injector diesel engines fitting a Motoflow 2 onto each injector line has been shown to give much quicker and much bigger savings than fitting one unit on the fuel line before the injector. For motorists doing high mileages, the additional savings (often twice as much!) will repay the additional cost within a year or so. For vehicles doing less miles, it might take considerably longer to pay back, so it's a decision the customer has to make. For an average diesel car with a 4 cylinder engine, the installation cost for four at my prices would be £188 - a bonus saving of £32 on RRP. On heavy transport, where mileages are frequently in the region of 100,000 or more a year, any additional saving is worthwhile. Even if these engines have 6 or 8 cylinders, it's worth going for one Motoflow 2 unit on each injector line on mechanical injector engines.

Motoflow magnetic fuel conditioning is the product that launched Ecoflow in 1991 and has been saving hundreds of thousands of motorists around the world millions of pounds ever since, not to mention the considerable reduction of pollutants being released into the environment. 

Over 350,000 units sold! Complete and easy to fit with no cutting or technical knowledge required. Transferable between vehcles.

Fuel that has been subjected to the Motoflow magnetic field appears to burn more efficiently, and more completely, resulting in more energy being available earlier in the combustion stroke of the engine. An increase in power and torque and a reduction in pollutants are generally noticeable. The combustion chambers tend to remain ‘cleaner’, that is less carbon is deposited in the areas of combustion allowing gases to flow freely.  Modern engines are fuel injected and continually monitored electronically to optimise their performance. They are therefore considerably more efficient than engines built in 1991. However, that does not however mean that they cannot benefit from Motoflow in the long term. Reduced pollutants result in an extended life of catalytic converters (expensive to replace) and the cleaner burn helps to extend the efficient life of the engine.

How does it work? To be honest, although I have a Science degree, the evidence is not clear. There is a lot of dispute among scientists over whether and why magnets improve fuel economy. There has been some research into the effect of magnets on hard-water which seems to point at the presence of impurities, such as iron or silica, in the water to create adsorption particles which keep lime in solution, rather than being precipitated as scale. (See my page on this). The key to the effect of magnets on fuel has to be in the improvement of the fuel-air mixture to produce more complete combustion, more power, more miles to the gallon and less exhaust pollution. Whatever the mechanism, having used them myself, I know they work! Just try it for yourself. If you are not totally happy, return it to me within 90 days for a 100% no-quibble refund.

Motoflow improvements depend on the condition of your engine and your driving style. As a guide allow up to 1,000 miles for a petrol engine and a little more for a diesel. Remember, a better combustion will give more power, but it is the driver’s foot that dictates whether the additional power is used to accelerate quicker or improve fuel consumption! Some users have reported between 8% and 15% improvement in fuel economy.Fitting Motoflow will not affect your warranty. There are no pipes to cut and original equipment is not tampered with. Secured to the fuel line with releasable ties this unit works from the moment it's fitted. If you change your vehicle simply remove the Motoflow and fit it to your new vehicle.

I fitted a Motoflow M1 to my Peugeot 406 Diesel. Careful monitoring beforehand showed an average 38mpg. Since fitting the Motoflow, 40-41mpg is normal. The unit paid for itself in 7000 miles or 4 months motoring - and I have the satisfaction of doing a little bit for the environment as well as saving money. If you want to read about a more scientific test, have a look at the Warren Springs report on the Ecoflow / Tests page.

Fitting Instructions for modern vehicles: When fitting any Ecoflow unit to a motor vehicle, it is important to check that the weight does not stress the fuel line. If necessary use the third strap supplied with Motoflow 1 unit to support it. Motoflow is suitable for all engines – petrol, diesel or LPG, carburettors or fuel injectors, turbocharged or normally aspirated, with or without a catalytic convertor. The larger Motoflow 1 is suitable for petrol engines up to 7 litre, or diesel engines up to 3 litres. The average family saloon is 1.4 or 1.6 litres, so you can see that Motoflow is more than capable of treating the fuel for normal cars.

The much smaller Motoflow 2 unit was developed to cater for those engines, which have severely restricted space making fitting the larger unit impossible or very small fuel lines that might be damaged by the heavier Motoflow 1. Motoflow 2 is rated as suitable for petrol engines up to 3 litres. This suggests that it has the ability to deal with a fuel flow rate less than half that of the larger unit. We have had some good reports of results with the little green Motoflow 2 unit, so we know it works - at least where the fuel flow rate is not too high. On most diesel engines the fuel flow rate is high, so a Motoflow 1 unit is usually more suitable. If you must fit Motoflow 2 units, calculate one per 1200cc – so a 2 litre diesel would need two, a 3 litre diesel would need three etc. On large diesel engines, such as trucks, boats etc, it might be cost effective to fit Motoflow 2 to each injector pipe, where accessible. Otherwise fit one Motoflow 1 unit for each 3 litres of engine size.

The Hot Fit routine (fitting to a fully hot engine after a 20 mile run and with the engine still running) is essential when installing Ecoflow units onto any car with an electronic engine management system and lambda sensor. This means all modern petrol engined cars with catalytic converters, and most common-rail diesel engined cars.

The engine and exhaust need to be fully hot and the engine still running so that all the vehicle's temperature sensors are telling the management system the engine is up to full operating temperature. In this state, the chip in the management system will accept the lower emissions produced by the Ecoflow will recalibrate itself to suit. Once the unit is strapped in place on the fuel feed pipe, leave the engine to tickover for 20 minutes, then raise revs to 1500rpm for 2 mins to complete the job.

If you fit to these engines without the engine and exhaust fully hot and/or without the engine still running, most engine management systems will enrichen the fuel-air ratio to compensate for the lower emissions, resulting in poor running, increased fuel consumption and other problems. So your 'much more experienced distributor' needs to take heed! Of course, it is essential that anyone fitting to a running engine takes great care to avoid hot and moving parts.
