Look What I Found Next to the Windshield Washer Tank

Can anyone tell me what this plastic item is clamped onto what looks to be the fuel line?
It spins around and looks like those magnet things that are supposed to improve mileage by atomizing the fuel. This came on the car from Mazda when I bought it new but I didn't notice it till I was finishing off the A/C line insulation mod. Does anyone else have this on their cars as well. If it is the magnet fuel atomizer, all those posters that scoffed about them can laugh at Mazda for installing them on their cars. :lol2: . |
It's a fuel flow transmitter. Big Brother is spying on us. Hee, hee.

Noise Filter
That looks like a noise filter on the AC line.
It keeps high freq noise from going down the AC line into the dash. |
looks like nothing more than a retaining clip to keep the two ends securely connected.
|
It does look like a ferrite choke.
|
Magnet....
I don't laugh at you because you thought that clip was a magnet - I laugh because you were more than ready to believe they work!
(I also chuckle in your general direction because you believe that insulating that pipe will make any difference! :hahano: ) S |
Mazda had Top Secret Japan install them on test models to get better gas milage.
I could not resist:rollingla I'am ashamed... |

Not sure what other benefits as of yet since I installed it when it was about time for the leaves to fall. I just wrapped it in conduit so it looks fine. No blazing aluminum heat tape to shod up under the hood. :D |
Noise supression what type?

If it is a noise supressor, what type of noise is it supressing (electrical or physical) |
It's protection for the connection and I suspect to keep the connection from breaking in the passenger cabin in the event of an accident (being shoved into the cabin - it's too big to fit through the hole).
|
OK place all your bets now. I'm callin' Mazda tomorrow.

:lol2:

Silly willies, Its the retainer clip on the refrigeration line that seperates two linear a/c lines and is o-ringed so as to be a non leaking joint. There I said it. :boring:

Yep, definately a "clip." :cool: |
In the Shinka, it's also where the pixies live, who make the exhaust smell like lilacs.

OK the guy at Mazda said he dont know what the hell it is or what its function is but if I had a part nu# he could find out what its used for an let me know.

So now the question is: What is 61-4H8 (NC73-61-4H5)?
|
Clip to secure the refrigeration lines together.Trust me I jsut didi a 3 rotor swap. I know
|
That's the reverse fallican rod antisurge valve.
|
nice revival. gave me a good laugh.
antisurge protection on the phallican rod is a good thing, right? |
Hey McFly, don't you know that's the newly redesigned flux capacitor. Just like the lack of torque and possibility of the 8 not having the horse power that is reported, Mazda can't figure out how to get 1.31 jigawatts out of this bad boy yet. Oh well.
