No need to press quote, when replying to the previous post Smile

Dont think so as it only connects to a live and earth supposidly the grey is wound round the fuel intake pipe creating a coil which when switched on creates a magnetic feild that juggles the molicules of the deisel making it lighter and cleaner to ignite!
the problem ive got in my mind is what happens with the tail of the grey wire. Mini and Anglia restorer TDI don't have a F*****g Clue

Thumbs Up
I do have an analogy that may explain my thinking.

Let's imagine for a moment that these chaotic molecules are 'ants' running around aimlessly, and all of a sudden they get zapped by this magnet and miraculously order is brought from chaos. The 'ants' are now in an orderly line marching towards the injector and when reached they are sprayed at high pressure into the cylinder, wow! order suddenly becomes chaos again as the molecules are returned to their native state.

Even if it could happen, the order cannot be maintained, unlike ants that have a reason for their chaos.

Fair enough
I suppose then when you accelerate there would be less order and more chaos unless the magnetic feild gets stronger as the revs go up.
