Default What is this?

I never noticed this till today when I had the time to actually clean off the supercharger and fuel rails...but there are these 2 pieces of metal twist-tied around one of the fuel lines. A buddy of mine saw it and guessed it was one of those gimmicks where its said that by "magnitizing your fuel, you will increase fuel mileage".

Eh?

I've never seen evidence of someone trying that. Interesting.
