Our fuel activator comprises a far infrared rays emitting composition in a plastic housing that externally mounts on a supply fuel line of an engine to provide a means for improving combustion of liquid fuel, gasoline or diesel.  The far-infrared radiation from Our Hercules Jr. resonantly overcomes the dipole-dipole bonding between hydrocarbon molecules and can break up the fuel into small particles for efficient combustion as the fuel flows through and is exposed to the far infrared emission.  Consequently, the device can improve combustion efficiency of the engine and increase its power. Meanwhile, it also saves fuel and reduces harmful emissions.

FAQ -- Frequently Asked Questions

What differentiates Hercules Jr. from other fuel-saving devices?

There are hundred of products on the market claim to improve fuel economy. They can generally be classified into two categories of techniques: catalysts and magnetic resonance. The disadvantage of such devices is that they only work right under the influence of the applied media while the fuel is ether in contact with catalysts or within magnetic fields. Once the fuel flows out of influencing area of the applied media, the once forced-apart HC molecules gather and form clusters again. It thus explains the reason why most of these gas-saving products on the market are ineffective. In contrast, the photons generated by Hercules Jr. Fuel Activator "are absorbed by and thus traveling with the force-separated HC molecules" to preserve effectiveness. When such polarized HC molecules re-gain clusters formation, photons of the same characteristics are released on the basis of Momentum Conservation. The released photons can then be recycled to break up another newly-formed clusters. Therefore, the fuel activation effect brought by Hercules Jr. continues and prevails

Why Hercules Jr. is more expensive than other fuel-saving devices (i.e. magnet)?

Because, Hercules Jr. works and others don't .....; Actually, because of expensive FIR materials and processes involved in fabricating our proprietary ceramic composition. Although Hercules Jr. Fuel Activator may look "simple and inexpensive" (It looks more like some kind of "sand-like" particles in a plastic molding), some rare metal oxides that forms our proprietary ceramic composition are very costly. The plastic molding may cost only less than a buck while metal oxides cost a fortune. The most important thing is: it works. Hercules Jr. can truly save you money over time. Don't even mention other benefits including cleaner air. 

Can I install Hercules Jr. by myself?

YES, most American can install Hercules Jr. in minutes. Just locate a rubber/plastic section on the supply fuel line and clamp Hercules Jr. on to it, no tools needed.  Hercules Jr. is a passive device so that it will never do any harm to your car even if you install it wrong. During installation, be careful and watch out for the hot spots around the engine. Don't get burned.  

Where do I install Hercules Jr.?

It is installed over a rubber/plastic hose in the supply fuel line, as close to Fuel Injectors as possible so that Hercules Jr. can better transfer engine heat into far infrared radiation. You just clamp the device on to the rubber/plastic hose and may secure with a plastic tie (optional). Make sure you have installed the device on the supply fuel line, not the return line.

How do I tell which is the supply fuel line? 

It is sometimes difficult to tell a supply line from return lines, or even to tell which are fuel lines. It would be a good idea to trace the lines coming from gas tank. Or, you may identify and locate the "Pressure Regulator" on Fuel Injector Trail first and trace back to the supply line. In general, the fuel lines connected to Pressure Regulator are return lines. The other fuel line coming to the Fuel Injector Trail would be the supply line. If you are lost, ask for help from a professional mechanic at next oil change.

Will Hercules Jr. work on any kind of fuel lines?   

No, sorry. The far-infrared radiation can only penetrate rubber, plastic, or combination of these materials and can not penetrate metals. Thus, Hercules Jr. will only work over rubber/plastic hoses in the fuel lines and not metal fuel lines.

Will Hercules Jr. wear out? 

No. There are no moving parts  involved in Hercules Jr.. It transfers ambient heat around the engine into restless far-infrared radiation without a need of outside energy source. Therefore, it will never wear out.

How long it takes for Hercules Jr. to become effective?  

Hercules Jr. is effective right away. However, in some rare cases that rubber/plastic materials in fuel hose may attenuate much far-infrared radiation and may require longer time for FIR radiation to saturate hose materials before it can penetrate through to activate the fuel flowing within. And, in some other cases the OBD (on-board diagnosis) computer may require time for "adaptive learning" before it can "appreciate" or "realize" the fuel-saving effect brought be Hercules Jr.. In these cases, the benefits will be optimized only after about 200 - 500 miles of "break-in" driving. For old cars, better than 100,000 miles accumulated (for example), it depends on the time it takes Hercules Jr. to clean carbon deposits on the engine parts and may be optimized after 500 miles of driving (or a couple of full tank refills).

What savings can I expect?   

As recommended by the test results from an EPA-recognized lab, Hercules Jr. will save most users about 15 - 20% on their fuel costs through improved fuel economy (better M.P.G.). For example, if you are a typical user who consumes $1,000 fuels a year. You will save over $200 annually on fuels. You may save an additional $100 a year by using lower octane number gasoline (e.g. 87/89 vs. 92/93). Meanwhile, you need change motor oil less often; that may save you another $30 to $50 a year. Moreover, You may save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your vehicle by preventing from deposits on engine parts and catalyst converter. 

How do I record and compute my M.P.G.?  

You should manually record driving mileage, based on actual odometer reading and gas pumped at each fill-up. Try to develop a consistent way in pumping gas: always fill up the tank until it automatically shut off and then top off until it shut twice thereafter. Dividing driving mileage by the number of gallons at fill-up will give you the number on M.P.G. (miles per gallons).  Nevertheless, there are many factors can affect actual outcome of fuel economy: such as weather, road conditions and driving habit. For example, using air conditioner in hot days may well offset the 20% fuel saving effect brought by Hercules Jr. Try to set these conditions as closely controlled as possible, while you are evaluating it.

Will Hercules Jr. damage my car engine? 

Absolutely not. Hercules Jr. comprises a far-infrared rays emitting ceramic material in a plastic housing. It is a passive, non-invasive device. The far infrared radiation emitted from the device will be absorbed only by the substance having intermolecular hydrogen-bonding or van der Waals bonds. Hercules Jr. only changes the vaporization characteristics of gasoline and make it easier to atomize for complete combustion. It just makes the fuel combustion more efficiently in engine and will  not hurt engine, whatsoever.

Is Hercules Jr. good for my car engine?  

Yes. Hercules Jr. helps break up clustered hydrocarbon (HC) molecules in fuels. Such forced-apart HC molecules remain polarized and "charged" so that they may actively attract other chemical deposits in the fuel system and engine. It helps "flush off" (clean up) fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel injectors, spark plugs, and combustion chambers.

Will Hercules Jr. invalidate manufacturer's warranty?   

Not at all. Since Hercules Jr. is a noninvasive aftermarket retrofit device, it does not change manufacturer's configurations and specifications of your vehicle. It will not invalidate any manufacturer's warranty.

Why does my fuel economy drop in Winter? 

In winter months, typically from November through March, oxygenated fuel is mandated in some areas for pollution reduction. When as much as 15% of oxygen is added to gasoline for seasonal adjustment, the fuel becomes volatile and easy to combust. Thereby emissions are reduced. However, because of less total heat content (i.e. number of hydrocarbons) in such fuels, the fuel economy will drop. 

Can I use lower grade (octane number) gasoline?

Yes. Hercules Jr. eliminates rapid buildup of hydroperoxide radicals (HO₂) in combustion chambers and prevents spark knock (or detonation). It thus lowers octane number requirement (ONR) for fuel. You may save an additional  $100 a year by using lower grade gasoline (87/89 vs. 92/93). However, it is always a good idea to "listen" to your car engine. If, in some rare case, it knocks with regular fuel, use a  grade higher fuel until spark knock goes away. (But, if your car specifies "premium fuel only", please stick to manufacturer's specification, or you may void the warranty.)

Why sometimes Hercules Jr. does not work on new car?   

Sometimes it did happen, thanks to modern technology and the OBD (on-board diagnosis) computer programming. In a normal operation, the computer responds to sensor inputs and sends to Fuel Injectors a signal necessary to maintain the right mixture for current operating conditions. Imagine in a case that a brand new car that has not gone through "adaptive learning" cycle in real world. After installing Hercules Jr., the OBD suddenly receives signals from oxygen sensor to instruct fuel injectors reducing fuel amount by as much as 20%, the computer will say "NO". It will then suspend sensor input and fall back on an "limp-in" or "limited operating strategy" program. This uses average values contained in memory to provide a mixture and , in some cases, a spark advance setting that will allow the car to be started and driven, but won't give very good performance (i.e. fuel economy or emissions control). In this case, you may not see Hercules Jr. work on a brand new car, please allow at least one hour or 50 miles driving for FIR to break-in or "adaptive learning" time period for the fuel system before you start feeling the power increase (in some cars, it may take less time).  Theoretically if you could feel the power increase, fuel economy would have been there too.
