Hello Carl.

Having worked in engine design for over 40 years, I can assure you that these gadgets don't give even the tiniest benefit.  There is not the slightest doubt about this.  

Take a look at http://www.fuelsaving.info/debunk.htm.  This does what it says - it debunks some of the myths about so-called in-tank catalysts and much else.  They are 100% rip-off.
