Chance to check out a 7MPG gain claim

[JohnNeiferd]

Hmm, I just recieved some interesting news. A friend of mine just told me her brother-in-law told her that his friend put a Hydrogen Generator on his truck and got 7MPG better. I'm going to try to arrange a meeting with this guy and see weither he built one himself or got ripped off online with a $500-$1000 unit.

As for now, I'm just speculating, I'll post more as I either hear more about it or get to see the set-up.

If he built one himself, and is using nothing other than a HHO generator then this could be promising, but the chances of that seem to be around 5%. First off, he put one in his truck so he is interested in his mileage, but I doubt he did any proper testing methods. Most likely he put it in, got too excited, and filled up after 50 or so miles. My area is a large farming area so its mostly country with minimal stop signs, so those 50 miles would be counted as mostly highway mileage would could explain the increase. Also HHO Generators have been proven not to make a noticeable increase many times. I think its more likely that he ordered a kit that has an EFIE, MAP Enhacner, and possibly even an IAT resistor. That'd get his truck running lean and would keep the O2 sensor from adjusting back to 14.7:1. Even though I doubt running lean in a truck could make as huge an increase as 7MPG, it may have made it seem so with the Highway mileage and slight lean conditions.

I'd hate to shoot him down, especially if he spent a lot of money, but I feel he should be enlightened so he doesn't fall for scams. Maybe I can even get him on GasSavers. But I'll let you guys know as soon as I get a chance to check it out. I'm rather excited, it seems like HHO is turning towards McCarthyism. If you hear about someone using HHO you better run and set them straight or they'll be condemned when they go preaching it.
