Default Re: Improving Your Gas Mileage

Electrolyzer.
There are a few different ways to do this - basically, the idea is that you create hydrogen on-demand to supplement the gasoline you're already using. It burns more efficiently than gas, breaks down the gas droplets into smaller droplets and improves your gas mileage. You can make it yourself with components from Home Depot, Radio Shack, and so on. A mason jar is the container for this project, believe it or not.

How much will it improve the gas mileage? Depends on the car. And the year of the car. You see, newer cars (with computers) monitor the exhaust to adjust the fuel mixture. When you significantly clean up the exhaust (that's what hydrogen does - cleans your engine and exhaust) the computer translates that cleaner reading as the engine not getting enough gas and tries to give it more gas. Some refer to this as limp home mode. Basically, the cabal has made these devices mandatory so that if you do introduce something that will make your engine run more efficiently (burns less gas), it'll automatically make the mixture more rich (burning more gas). Bastards.

There are a handful of electronic devices that you can implement to intercept that signal and send one that is consistent with the readings your car had before you introduced a fuel saving device. It's going to vary from car to car and it is a pain in the ass.
Older cars? Perfect. Some newer cars (depending on the computer used) will learn and still give you an improvement. Too much hydrogen production, however, will put you right back into that situation of burning more gas than you should. It's all about trial and error.

The water4gas design isn't so terrific. The plexiglass tower tends to warp with the heat. I've recently been using a different design using all-thread and stainless washers. You can drop $1500 or more on a really high-speed set up, or make one yourself for less than $20. Well, add some gas cost to that - lot of running around.

I just put this new design on my F150 and went from 12 mpg to 15.5 mpg. Modest improvement, but every little bit helps. My wife's car went from 23 mpg to 35 mpg, but then the computer started mucking things up and I'm still tweaking it. A fuel pre-heater is helpful too. It's nothing more than a series of copper fittings - simply re-route the gas line through these fittings, strap it to the radiator hose, and you've just preheated your gas for more efficient combustion

Peace.
