I recently bought a Fuel Saver magnet to try on my '08 Santa Fe. Figured it would be worth the $17 and if it didn't work at least I tried. The problem is I am having a hard time determining where on the 3.3 L V6 the fuel line is located. I see the metal lines that split the top of the engine and run on top of the plenim but am not sure if those are fuel lines or vacuum?

Anyone have feedback on where the fuel line can be located or looks like?

Thank you!

I don't want to answer your question because I don't want you to take this thing out of its original packaging. Seriously.

They don't work.

Get a refund. Just a friendly suggestion. I am sure others will chime in here and argee with me.

I am 66 years old and this gimmick has been around since I was in my twenties.

Please send it back.

Thanks David and I'm sure after that post no one else will want to answer my question either.

Smaller metal lines at the top of the engine are probably fuel lines. but you can find out for sure at http://www.hmaservice.com/. Hyundai freely shares mechanical information, diagrams, etc. with the the public; all you need is to set up a user account. (Tip for any Canadians reading this: Be sure to enter a U.S. address when setting up your account, otherwise it might not work. You can change it later.).

Good luck!

PS: I happen to agree with David's comments about the fuel gadget, and feel that your sarcastic rebuttal is more likely to discourage others from responding. Remember that people are just trying to be helpful :57:

My intention was to never put you down in any way as far as your intelligence. I am not sure of your age but many of us have been there, done that. :whistling:

If something that simple would cure all evils, such as improving gas mileage, the manufacturers would have jumped on it years ago instead of spending millions trying to keep up with government standards regarding MPG.

In the meantime, enjoy your Santa Fe. All of us are hopeful that fuel prices will go down, at least somewhat. If not, oh well, at least we are all in the same boat.

Can you swim? :)

Do you want to feel better? Just think about those folks who own the big V8s as their primary transportation.

I agree with david... I don't think it's even worth the time finding the lines and getting under the car.

Taking your foot off the gas when you see the light turning yellow up ahead and coasting to the red light will save you lots more fuel than that gadget ever will.

Absolutely. Also accelerating with a lighter foot. I find that the Santa Fe's slow-response throttle encourages a heavy foot, which causes things to go from economical to piggish in a hurry. When I ease up (and look ahead as R4MON suggests), I am surprised at how little throttle is actually required to keep up with traffic, and I get at least 20% better mileage in the city. That's significant.

Out on the highway, cruising at 60mph instead of 75 also makes a big difference... especially with the Santa Fe's high ground clearance and bulky underbody "aerodynamics". Life in the right lane just requires a different mentality. Let the jerk in the Grand Prix arrive at the next town a minute before you... he doesn't have long to live anyway :)
