No info on how/whether it works, and they've sold 31!

The folk claiming that cars do not have AC electrical components are a bit out of date. I know that my KIA had AC power steering so I assume that other cars also use this system. I still think the device is a snake oil dispenser.

Some use brushless DC motors.

The Fuelshark consists of a blue LED (similar to this), a 35v 1000uF capacitor (like this one), and a 4700 ohm resistor (like this), along with a fuse and the housing/plug assembly. Based on the explanations of how the device works — either "conditioning" the car's electrical system or storing energy in the capacitor to help take electrical load off the engine when needed, we could only conclude that there was no possible way these components could achieve anything remotely like that. The amount of energy capable of being stored in that capacitor is on the scale of 1x10^-6 too small to be of any possible use to assist the car's engine.
That capacitor is capable of storing about 0.0072 joules of energy. A gallon of gas, for example, has 132,000,000 joules of energy, and a capacitor like the one in the Mazda system stores around 25,000 joules. The Fuelshark capacitor is capable of storing enough energy to keep that LED lit (through that resistor, which dims the LED and lengthens the time significantly) for 20 seconds or so, and that's it.
This device physically CAN'T do any of the claims the packaging or advertising suggests. It's not a matter of test procedures, the hardware is simply incapable of storing even a millionth of the energy required to perform the task the explanations describe. There's no hedging here — anyone with a basic background in electronics would know this.
