I know engines well, and I know that a lot of smaller engines that run off natural gas a propane they dont last long. I'm still curious to check it out |

If you're all about saving gas costs then look at the obvious first. Take all the dead weight that's in your car you don't need and remove it. Check your tire pressure in all the tires and fill to appropriate levels. Consolidate your errands. Stop running to the store daily for your grocery needs, shop less frequently. Drive a pick up? Put the tail gate down to conserve drag. Trust me. It's easier/cheaper to conserve than produce. Tricks pop up all the time like this. Sometimes the solution is staring you in the face. |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 751 Registered: Dec-08 | Also if you have big wheels get rid of them 1lb in wheel weight is about equal to 10lbs of gross weight. I'm going from 17s @ 27lbs each to 16s @ 14.5lbs each. Thats almost 500lbs which would be equal to a half a second in a quarter mile. Now none of this is exact. We're talkin 2-3mpgs better in my car, plus better stopping distances. Also driving around town your shifting in and out of overdrive is bad. Also lucas fuel treatment is pretty cheap and will in crease mpg |

Gold Member Username: Touche6784USA Post Number: 1356 Registered: Nov-04 | Wait, are you meaning to ask about a HHO generator or an actual fuel cell? I ask because a fuel cell requires having hydrogen in elemental form which is not commercially available unless you live in cali. If you are confused and mean HHO generator do some research on it and you will see what everyone else is seeing. |

Bronze Member Username: Circa09skaterPost Number: 83 Registered: Jun-07 | ok so then keep it up on the highway |

Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2127 Registered: Jun-07 | im talking about the HHO generator ill go look at a few around my area. maybe some one will let me try one out before it take them time to make one |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 6540 Registered: Jan-06 | dont waste your time. do some research they dont work. You cant make enough hho without tons of current. which puts a draw on the ele system and engine more and gets worse MPG, plus the o2 sensor reads the extra o2 and thinks its running lean so adds more fuel making your car run rich and get worse mpg. |

Gold Member Username: Touche6784USA Post Number: 1357 Registered: Nov-04 | Thanks Matt I was gonna say the same thing. Do some research before even asking these people. These people most likely have no idea what is going on and will most likely start quoting dribble from BS websites. |
