I've read that using hydrogen as a fuel in gasoline engines will effectively displace gasoline by over 80% if the injectors are properly derated and the ignition timing set to fire as close to TDC as possible. Essentially, the gasoline and possibly diesel now serves as more of a pilot fuel. Apparently, this is when you will see substantial mpg gains! We know that diesel engines ignite at TDC and hydrogen loves high compression ratios and turbos. Hmmmm...! I'm very curious what kind of mileage gains we might see using one of the Smarty, Edge or other modules to derate the fuel using the mpg setting along with the Magdrive or an even higher capacity hydrogen cell.
