placebo effect.

What ever works for you.

There seems to be a consensus among the "experts" that if you use the
engine regulary the fuel is more likely to stay clean, probably
because your engine is recirculating it through the filters on a
regular basis. The folks who seem to have the most problems are those
with large tanks and irregular usage.

Because you have had no problems after cleaning the fuel installing new
filters and an Alge-X does not in any way mean that it works. It just
means cleaning the fuel and replacing the filters worked. Its like the
diet pills that say "Taken with a sensible diet and regular exersise
you will loose weight." OK, now try it with out taking the pill and
see what happens.

As a physicist, I say "Balder Dash"

Lets hear from all those people out there that have NO ALGE-X
installation that also have NO problems.

The original post wanted to hear only from those that had installed the
thing. This is how you skew a study if that is what you want. But if
you want truth you need to hear from the 95% who dont use it and dont
have problems as well as the 5% that do use it and dont have problems.

It is all an outgrowth of the myth in the 1930s that your car would get
better fuel mileage with a "cow magnet" strapped to the gas line.

I would say "real world, first person", includes me who have been
boating for 40 years with no fuel problems and NO ALGE-X Thats "real
world" as well as the people who use it.

I wear a pendant watch as a protection against attack from Bengal Tigers. It
must work, as I have never even SEEN a Bengal Tiger while wearing my watch.

Obviously you should keep wearing that watch. There have been some
positive reports about Algae-X from intelligent people who claimed to
have tried other things first with no success. Who knows? The impact
of electromagnetic forces on biological organisms is poorly inderstood
if at all, but right now there is no scientific proof. That's why I
told Skip that the jury is still out instead of flat out claiming no
benefit. I also think that it can't hurt, so if you have already done
the other important things and don't mind shelling out a few bucks,
what the heck.

I disagree with the statement it can't hurt. It could end up fouling
injectors or clogging them or making seals start to leak, it could have
problems with fuel pump as well.
Until this has all been checked out in a study and documented by some
recognized testing agency I wouldn't dare put that stuff in my fuel.

Algea-X doesn't go into the fuel. The fuel goes through the Algea-X. It
cannot contaminate the fuel, it's just a magnetic field. Could it help? Bog
only knows. But it can't hurt.
