Default magnet for fuel line

High all ,I have just fitted one of these to my recently aquired V40.
I have only done 3 miles with it on so can't tell if there's any difference yet.
However I fitted one of these to my 240 and after about 300 miles the tickover had speeded up to the point where I had to slow it down.
The perfomance and general running also seems better and on a test of 785 miles of 24 miles per day motorway and general tatting about shopping etc it returned 37 to the gallon which is fantastic for a bus like that.
If anyone does get one (they are only cheap) then don't rely on the o-rings to hold the halves on as after about 600 miles they will break and you'll loose the magnets.
I taped mine on and then put a cable tie over the tape and have had it on the 240 for 8,500 miles.
