Noticed my van running a bit warmer than normal,so checked the water to find oil in it?.Have droped the engine oil, all looks nornal ,oil filter is also ok,no sign of water in oil.The engine is a 1y diesel 1.9.Has enybody heard of the ali oil coolers spliting,dumping the oil into the water cooling s...

So far ive got to 32mpg from a base line of 29mpg.My engine is a 1y 1.9 diesel.When i did the base line check there was only me in the van.The 32mpg im getting is with 5 of us in the van with all of our camping gear.I mostly run around at 60-65ish.This guy seems to be getting better results www.wate...

buteux My engine is a 1y diesel,so i fed the hydroxy into the air intake,just drilled a hole and fixed the pipe into it.You could try that that and see how it goes. I fitted a 30 amp relay fed off the diesel solenoid,then used an inline fuse to feed the cell through the switching contact on the rela...

cov kid I used a coffe jar and 8 ss plates in my experimental unit,so far have gained 2.5 mpg using 6 amps.Most units ive read about are pulling 16 amps or so.Still more testing to do before i build a bigger one and add a p.w.m. Most petrol engines run at 14.7 to 1 fuel air mix.If you use hydroxy wi...

I have built four boosters so far,the first one was a disaster,it took 20amps and didnt produce much gas,i put on the van and tested it,mpg went down.The one ive got on there now (simler to the smacks booster)takes 6-7 amps and makes 3 times the gas as the original.Have fitted it to the van,and run ...

well got a reply from water boost,cant stretch to the £ they want to install the hydrogen system.so will have to make my own. Have found a bit more info,hho injection works well with veg oil and lpg, the average cell takes around 12 amps to give enough hydroxy to make the differance to combustion an...

Think they do use hydrogen and oxygen in some form for rocket fuel,thats why they get exited when they find water on mars ect

try googling water boost ive just e mailed them

Thats the spirit t'onion thinking otside the box,im still looking into this one

seems that it uses the H and the O to make hydroxy or browns gas,this is fed into the air inlet and,they say gives 30% more mpg,seems simple cant think why it wont catch on if its that good,oh and they claim the emissions are cleaner

anyone using a hydrogen fuel booster system,lots of info on american sites,looks like it works with petrol and diesel,would like to buy a kit in the uk,anyone else heard of this system

checkout drivewater dot com(cant do proper dots,faulty key board)

job done van up and runing with 1.9 engine and is much better to drive,can leave it in top gear up hills now.still have leaking oil fill tube,spoke to cj he says this item is like finding hens teeth,will keep looking........cheers gaz
