Hydrogen (HHO)

Has anyone had any luck here with an HHO Generator?
I have just been informed that the border patrol is going to start in forcing a CARB policy.

From a high official at the that manages all the ports In CA

As it looks right now, the ports will begin enforcing the CA Air Resource Board regulation for diesel fuels found in Title 13, California code of regulations. As part of the regulation, all diesel fuel coming into CA must meet CA standards and Mexican diesel fuel does not currently meet the standards. Thus, an individual who imports diesel from Mexico in a separate (e.g.,"nurse") tank and transfers it to another facility (e.g., storage tank), vehicle, or transportation system is in violation of the CCR unless the fuel meets California standards.

So with that said anyone have any luck With HH0?

Myself and a buddy have been looking into trying HHO on our CTD trucks and maybe a gasser or two. There are pro and con about it. Pro says it works and con says no way.
There are several designs... Google Water4gas for one and
Joe Cell for another. I'm interested, but a little skeptical.
For instance, what will it do to my EGT???????

Water4gas wants to charge you for their Ebook, but you can find it on the Bitorrent sites.

Joes cell

Yes i have bought one set of plans
and did not like the blueprints but gave me some ideas
Tending to lean more towards Joe's cell
all the blogs that i have read say they work well with our older TDR's
time will tell

I've done some research on this, also, and there seems to be a problem with heat. Some guys on the net are using a pulse width modulator or frequency generator or something to control the heat somehow. On another note, does anyone know anything about simply adding methanol or water/methanol to diesel? A guy on a previous Hydrogen post says this will work and I have about 25 gallons of methanol just sitting around since I'm too lazy to make biodiesel....

I think I found my answer in a research paper on the web. It says: "Methanol and diesel fuel are for all practical purposes immiscible, which precludes using blends of methanol
and diesel fuel in diesel vehicles. " I think that means they don't mix... I'm feeling rather immiscible now....

Sell it to someone who can use it. Price for methanol is still rising.

you can not produce enough fuel from water to do any good think about it see how many cubic feet of air the turbo is forcing in the intake see how many cubic feet of hydrogen you get and look at the figures

You are wrong carl48, I currently am running a self made hho unit in my 2006 cummins truck. With 1.5 liters per minute, my MPG went from 17.7 to 24.3 in town. Most people think of the addition of HHO incorrectly. Its not intended to replace your fuel, its purpose is to increase the engines efficiency by enabling the fuel to burn more throughly. You may want to check out these forums. www.hhoforums.com there are hundreds of people there who have had success and those who are still experimenting. Its a great place to go if you want to learn more.

You can goto these forums to find information about Hydrogen generators. Everything you need basically is found there if your not afraid to read.

I have seen a home made hydrogen set up on a ford 350 don't know the year 2000 model or up and he is getting another 100 miles per fuel up and it is the size of a small lunch box

There is no doubt in my mind that the systems work. I have one in my truck now and have talked to several people that use them. I personally recieved a 7MPG increase in my dodge.
