Default Turbo Magnet?

I had a question for anyone on here. Has anyone heard/used this product they call a "turbo magnet". It is supposed to go on your fuel line after the fuel filter and pump. It is also supposed to give you better gas mileage and help clean out the carbon deposits in your engine. Just curious if anyone knows anything about this. Heard about this product from one of my customers so don't know if it really works or he is just making sh*& up. The whole idea behind it is that it changes the polarity of the molecules in the fuel line so they don't "clump" together. Thus making the burn more effiecent. Let me know what comes back on this.

That's the only reply I have ever read about these things. I missed it on mythbusters.

they tested all kinds of things on mythbusters, there were about four or five different "gimmics" that they tried, and none of them worked I belive
