Dzerjb's Review of ECOFLOW

Good Points

Simple to fit, appears to work well on a gas boiler.


Bad Points

Not always easy to work out where it should be fitted on a car.


General Comments

I have used 2 Ecoflow units.
The first is mounted on the fuel feed pipe of a domestic gas boiler & the results are impressive. In the past, the thermostat had to be set nearly halfway to get tolerably hot water, now with the thermostat set at the minimum possible, we always have to add some cold to make it bearable.
The second has been used on an old diesel Skoda for some years. Initially, no result until I moved it from the fuel return to the inlet pipe. Afterwards, no discernable improvement in economy, but a small improvement in acceleration at mid engine speeds.
On older diesel engines the unit has to be mounted on the fuel intake line before the fuel pump, so it could be quite a distance from the point of combustion & presumably less effective. I've just changed to a Vauxhall Astra 1.3 CDTI & I could mount the unit on the steel pipe between the pump & the common rail, which is much closer to the point of combustion. It's too early yet for me to know the Astra's performance & economy characteristics without the unit so I'll have to run it for a while before I fit the Ecoflow, then see if there's any improvement after fitting.
