1999 Ford E-250 van 5.4L with just under 100,000 miles.The use of scan guage and same highway route taken back to back.Same driving habits and techniques used on all runs.(this vehicle has no other modifications other than what is specified)
Without HHO or MAF enhancer:
30.3 miles
56mph max/46mph average
1.62 gallons
$6.32
18.7mpg(epa rated at 18mpg highway new)
With 4 smacks boosters wired in series to 2 deep cycle batteries producing roughly 3LPM and MAF enhancer slightly leaned 2 notches back from factory setting:
30.5 miles
55mph max/47mph average
1.37 gallons
$5.35
22.1mpg
I have also completed a third run with only the MAF enhancer on and recieved the same results as the 2nd run
I am going to verify or debunk this crap once and for all.I have the time and money to do so and am not biased in either direction.
As of my testings so far I am almost certain my gains have come from a leaner ratio.
I know that adjusting the MAF sensor leans out the motor because there is a noticable power difference and if I lean to far it bogs and stalls out.Scanguage also brought up a lean bank code.So dont tell me that I need an EFIE or o2 extenders to fool the puter into letting me lean it.I still dont understand why it needs to be leaned out to use HHO.The extra ammount of oxygen produced is so minimal to the amount the intake consumes that it is a ridiculous theory.Now some say that a more efficient burn is created which burns the gasoline faster and more complete which in turn requires less fuel.Still...why lean out when the same ammount or more oxygen should be required to complete the burning efficiently.
You need a PWM to keep amps down,you need a MAP/MAF sensor,you need o2 extenders or EFIE...if all this fails then your testing is incomplete with too many variables or all cars are different,lol.
My main reasons for wanting HHO on demand to be sucessfull is to **** over the big oil mafia which certain leaders of our government are in bed with.Less fuel consumption/cost is just a bonus for me if I can get this to work.
I just have a feeling that there are going to be alot of people out there praising HHO for better MPG then ending up with holes in there pistons and burnt valves from running too lean.
Hell,monitoring the scanguage to improve driving habits alone will increase mpg and I highly recommend this device.
I am open for suggestions and have not given up yet.
Make me a believer!
All of the above has been copied and pasted from another website forum from which I am a member.All the above testing was completed by me.I believe that basic,low output electrolysis boosters in no way improve MPG gains.Now maybe 15LPM on a small displacement engine might show minor gains,but thats just my opinion.
