Does the Paul Pantone fuel save work?
If you are asking if Paul Pantone's GEET fuel reformer provides better fuel economy, the answer is yes, if it is built and installed correctly. His invention is one of many types of fuel reformers. "GEET" is the name of Paul Pantone's company: Global Environmental Energy Technology. Fuel reformers can crack fuel into shorter chain hydrocarbons and hydrogen rich gases. Fuel reformers have been around a long time. They utilize an endothermic chemical reaction that requires heat and a catalyst or heat and a plasma or both a catalyst and plasma together. Paul Pantone's fuel reformer is a unique type of plasma fuel reformer because it does not require an external electrical power source. Rather, it builds electrostatic potential similar how thunderstorms do when lightning is created and that static build up along with a partial vacuum establishes a plasma inside the GEET fuel reformer. The engine exhaust supplies the heat source for the endothermic reaction, therefore much of the otherwise wasted heat energy is returned to the engine in the form of shorter hydrocarbon molecules with higher potential energy than the same mass as longer chain hydrocarbons. The process is similar "steam reforming" which cracks hydrogen from both hydrocarbon vapors and the water steam. Steam reforming is the primary method used worldwide for the production of hydrogen. However a plasma fuel reformer can operate at lower temperatures than are usually required for catalytic steam reforming. Many vehicle's in France have installed the GEET fuel reformer but it seems to get bad press in the USA. Regarding fuel reformers in general, they have been around since the beginning of the auto industry but auto makers won't sell cars with them. In 1974, JPL engineers published an SAE report about their work demonstrating that fuel reformers provide better fuel economy and cleaner air. Regarding the powered plasma fuel reformer mentioned above that was developed by MIT and Arvin Meritor, after years of studies to demonstrate how well it works and shortly before its deployment to the USA auto industry, the company One Equity Partners bought out the division of Arvin Meritor that did the final development and they shut down its deployment to the auto industry. Now that division is called Emcon Technologies and now they make primarily systems to clean the exhaust. The only systems they sell that improve fuel economy are ones with minimal fuel economy improvement compared to the canceled fuel reformer.

Why does Lincoln Town Car stall when braking?
Is the check engine light on? Could be the idle is set low, or cheap fuel. Try a higher octane fuel, or fuel injector cleaner, or change fuel filter, located by real chassis on left side on the fuel line. It's an easy and cheap fix. (~ $4 at Walmart in the air filter section, Part # G3802A). All you will need is pliers. Paul navig8r77@hotmail.com
98 Ranger 3.0 6cyl Starts but quickly cuts off Where is fuel pump relay and other areas for troubleshooting?
that sounds like its a fuel delivery prob the fuel pump is in the tank the pump works dont replace it just take it out and check the fuel lines conected to it inside the tank and check all fuel lines typecal problem 4 that what happens is the fuel lines are ruber they get corrodid wene they sit in gas 4 a long time thanks john paul
