Check this out MAJOR MPG GAINS

MagDrive Fuel From H2O - HHO Generators

Have any of you guys ever heard of this. It looks real promising but I am having a hard time finding testimonials on diesels. I talked to one guy that said it was instalelled on a 12 Valve that was getting 21 mpg before the install and about 35 mpg after. IS this technology too good to be true guys, or is the goverment keeping it under wraps??

First off- I have never used one of these but I have done a little bit of research on em... SO- my theories have little to no evidence but I throw em out there anyways cause hey, they're just theories. Anyways, I would venture to say that whatever they say they can get with a gasoline, you're only gonna see about half those benefits in a diesel. If in fact these things do work and made (say 30% better fuel economy) I'd be suprised to see 15% in a diesel. My reasoning is: this hydrogen is mixed into the air stream of the engine at a certain rate (I'm betting that the Hydrogen processor can only make a set amount (or lower) but you won't be able to get a "diesel version" with higher output. Now, think about the air to fuel mixture of a gasoline compared to a diesel. A turbo diesel pumps in a LOT more air than a regular gasoline does. If you have the same volume of hydrogen put in a lot larger air volume, you're not gonna see as much improvement in fuel economy, power, etc. That's my theory, feel free to add or subtract to it. :thumbsup Maybe if you could get a "high output diesel version" then it might work better... but if they made that, then I'm sure they could probably make a gasoline run off of it solely... but then we'd have a hydrogen internal combustion engine wouldn't we? Even at that point though, I bet it would tax your electrical system so heavily that you would eventually lose your benefits over your costs.

Well, a friend of mine said they put it on a School Bus and went from 4mpg to 13mpg. I have a call in to inquire about more info for the diesels

There was one of these put on an old Benz diesel and somebody brought it up in the Mercedesshop.com forum I am a member at. It was listed on ebay, if you search through the completed listings you might be able to find it. I think they were boasting 61mpg or something crazy.

Where I could see something like this really shine is in emissions. Imagine having a small one of these to clean up your emissions instead of those pesky DPF's. Now we're thinkin...

lol those things already made like 45 mpg though. Even though, that's like 30% better. Granted, they're naturally aspirated which sort of proves my point of not being so useful on a larger displacement turbo diesel. I just don't think it'll be able to make the volume to really see a BIG difference on our turbocharged 5.9L's and even worse on the 6.7's. I'd like to see it though! I'm all for it if it works.

Well, I will get one once I get some more info, I talked to one shop thay puts them into the air filter intake tube, but they are going to put it into the intake to the motor. So I still think it is pretty experimental. sounds fun

Sounds REALLY interesting, BUT, it calls for introduction of hydrogen into the air intake. I would think that the grid heater located at the mouth of the intake would provide for some really interesting fireworks in colder temps. Not sure if I'm following this right, but I do think that you can only introduce the hydrogen into the air intake BEFORE the grid heaters on our trucks. Please let me know if this is incorrect. Other than that, I don't see anything really wrong with their design. I've seen others that were not nearly as thought out.

yeah, if you get it installed, I'd do it directly into the intake. Think about having highly flammable hydrogen coursing through your intercooler all day long... kinda a scary thought. And then there's gonna be a little leakout of it once you shut everything down and that's all gonna wind up coming out of your intake/filter and into your engine compartment... I know my turbo housing gets pretty dang hot... BUT if or when you get this installed let us know!! Keep us updated. PM me cause I've been interested in it for a long time! Maybe we could reverse engineer it too... :thumbsup

ooh forgot about the grid heaters.... yikes! It might have to have some kind of safety switch on it to keep the hydrogen from coming on till the grid heaters turn off permanently.

Important facts to remember using HHO Hybrid

You do not need to make any major alterations to your vehicle.
All late model vehicles are already computer controlled.
Your vehicle computer will make all of the fuel/air adjustments automatically.
You must turn the unit off when not running your vehicle.
You must manually check the fluid level in the HHO gen reserve tank every few hundred miles.
For cold weather climates use a fibre-glass foil backed pipe insulation wrap. [Not Included]
All models come with a liquid/gas flash back safety valve.


straight off their website... it kinda implies that it needs an electronically controlled engine... wonder how that works with the old mechanical diesels?
