Oh I don't know... it might have something to do with the patents? ;)
If this item actually worked, the first place this company would sell it to would be the big auto makers. Imagine the profit they could make with guaranteed sales and little to no advertising. The automakers would jump at the chance to buy something that actually lowered the average mpg of all their cars.
The fact is that there is not a single independently-funded test which includes proper documentation, methodology, and data.
If such a device worked, they would sell it to major auto manufacturers for several hundred million dollars in a single transaction. No bother with the consumer market. This has happened many times. Many years ago there was another small company who perfected a synthetic form of oil that increased engine life and increased fuel economy. Unlike previous synthetic oils (which failed in long term testing against conventional oils). That company didn't bother selling to the public, they just sold the entire thing for millions to a big company called Mobil.
I saw Mtech in the SkyMall catalog in the plane I flew in. It says it lowers greenhouse gases. Per the 'easy installation' in the ad; 1) Drop the fuel sensor into the fuel tank, 2) Attach the air sensor into the air filter compartment, 3) Attach the water sensor onto the radiator hose. The indicates that it is 'tested and proven by EPA recognized testing center using federal test procedures.' It was under 'proof of concept'. Did they test the device or the concept?
It sounds like the 'water softener' that works by putting a magnet around the water pipes. It sounded good but had no real proof that it really worked.

It is worth nothing that the very primitive web site for this "EPA recognized" lab claims they are only recognized by the EPA for emission testing. But when you go over to the EPA, they never heard of these guys: EPA Recognized Laboratory List: http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/nllaplist.pdf
I called "Moletech", got a message that they would return my call.
They did the following day.
I apprised them of my education and background. He talked of gains, savings, etc, I stopped him and said, I am apprehensive but open minded.
I asked;
Have their head engineer email or call me. I will be asking tough engineering questions. If I am convinced, I have time and money to participate. IF this is a scam or 'Blue sky", don't waste his or my time.
I will report.

2 weeks tomorrow, NO call from Moletech. Maybe they misplaced my number.
in fact considering the real low CFM this motor needs I bet a few 120mm computer fans ganged up could get at least 7 extra HP and 3~5 more mpg!
he said tongue in cheek from behind his home brew computer that sounds like a jet taking off when the bearings crap out on the 6 case fans keeping kool the severely overclocked AMD CPU......grin
Hmmm...A GM Thermactor smog pump, a few lengths of aluminum tubing, some rubber connectors, a bit of duct tape.....yep, methinks I have the necessaries for blower setup for a Smartie....hehehehehe
I'm Waiting For The Pill You Drop In The Gas Tank To Come Back On The Market.
Actually I remember buying some of those for my 91 Isuzu Rodeo. It was back in the early/mid 90's when I bought some. Back then gas was a little over $1.40. I thought it was expensive then.......
