Ahmmm Er Ah ...Hmmm

My last tank of gas (a couple of days ago) netted me even less mileage that the one before that (like 18mpg!). Frankly it was so bad that I wanted to lie about it here - but that's not what this is about is it? Really, if I'd not seen the initial results I'd be in the dumps about this... However, I've been in contact with the people on the w4g forum and they assure me that all is well and that what has happened is that the computer in the car has detected the fact of something that it sees as being a problem re: I AM NOT USING ENOUGH GAS! - so it is working to compensate. Crazy no? Well, what I've done to test this out is I disconnected my negative terminal on the battery for 30 minutes and then reconnected. This is supposed to reset the computer. In the meanwhile I've ordered the MAP sensor and await its arrival. That device is supposed to take care of the problem once and for all and enable the car to make even further use of the HHO device. I'll keep you informed...

Oh-Oh Something's Gone Wrong

Based on my commitment to testing this technology in a public way I'm obligated to report that this week things just don't look as good as my first weeks results. Since I was stumped I went to the online forum provided by Water4Gas for us members. What follows is a copy/paste of my communication with them:

My car is a 1997 Honda Civic. I installed the electrolyzer about two weeks ago. As noted in the description I recorded an immediate jump from 21mpg to 26mpg but today when I filled up it was down to 22mpg.-( Also, I'm seeing a much greater loss of water in the unit than I expected: just in this week traveling about 85 miles I lost half the water volume.

One other thing (though I have no idea if this has anything to do with anything) - I did discover that the negative terminal on the unit was slightly loose and I did tighten it up as I refilled with fresh distilled water and baking soda.
Just looking for advice. I've seen the possible results, and I'm totally jazzed about this tech. Now I'm looking for ongoing results that I can feel fully and confidently willing to share with others.
I get it: Water is Fuel,

Moderator: [i]sounds like you are making too much heat and boiling the water and injecting steam and not H.H.O.. Lower the baking soda and try again, or make sure the jar is not getting too much heat from the engine as well.[/i]

Me: That makes sense - I think that it must be the baking soda as I'm pretty sure that the jar is fairly well away from engine heat. I'll be making that adjustment first thing in the morning. I've been using a teaspoon of baking soda so I'll go for half that amount and see what happens. I love the combination of art and science. It appeals to me. Thanks so much for the information. I feel encouraged.

Moderator: [i]Also are you using a o2 sensor adjuster and a map adjuster as well?[/i]

Me: The truth is that I've haven't taken either of those steps yet. As it is I bought an assembled unit about two months ago, and didn't do anything with it other that taking it out of the box and looking at it - while I read over the materials. Even though I didn't think that anyone was lying to me I found that I just couldn't believe in any of this until I tested it out for myself, but I didn't want it to be proven false so... Well you see the dilemma that I put myself in:-) As of last week (when I got 26mpg) I began taking steps to gather the other items - so that I can take this thing all the way - and I won't be waiting any two months after I get them to put them to work on my car.

Bingo!


I thought it only fitting to show the figures on the pump when I completed my fill-up this afternoon. Again this doesn't prove anything but I thought to show it would be better than not.


What I do notice on all of the receipts that they never fail to tell me to have a nice day and the reality of that is pretty much to give me a kiss with it - if you know what I mean...

The next photo is the one that I think that you'll agree - makes a difference.




...and there you have it.

69.7 miles divided by 2.666 =
26.1 mpg
in my 1997 H0nda Civic that currently smokes a bit in the mornings, but has otherwise been a fine car. Very zippy. It's a stick shift and as you can see it only has 85 thousand miles on it. Here's a little something that I figured out.

If I can get 26 mpg instead of 21 (and it's pretty clear that I can) - that will mean that for every full tank of 13.6 gallons I will be able to travel an extra 68 miles per tank which represents a savings of nearly $10.50 per tank at the price I paid today $4.02 - oh sorry right - that's $4.01 and 9/10ths - and all this time I've been fooled by that oh so very clever pricing statement.

Please note that I've not yet taken a road trip, and it's pretty clear that mileage on the highway should be significantly better - right? Yes, I am excited and have started to to work with a mechanic here in my neighborhood who will supply me with shop space to install these systems into cars right here in NYC.

I will continue to post mileage stats here at each opportunity. I promise to report both the good and the bad, although so far I've only experienced the good.

New York City - We have lift off!

Catch Up Time


Okay, Okay I know that I've not kept up with this thing - but hey I've been busy with school and work and on and on - really no excuses are acceptable. So get over it or don't. Anyway, at this point no one's read any of this (at least no one has commented) but now we're getting to the meat of the matter...
To begin with here on the right are copies of my receipts for the last several weeks without photos of my odometer. Hey I didn't have my camera with me, and as I said if I wanted to - I could fake it anyway, but you better believe that I do have picture of it in the next posting. And truly- I did not and do not want to fake anything having to do with any of this because if this works it represents a significant alteration in the way we look at water and fuel and how we have been lead down a path that tells us that petroleum is the only way to go . So here we go:

63.3miles divided by 2.813gal = 22.5mpg (not sure how I did this:-)
89.3miles divided by 4.168gal = 21.4mpg
111.7 miles divided by 5.189gal = 21.5mpg
150.4 miles divided by 7.111 = 21.2mpg

So there you have it - average mileage for these four fill ups = 21.7 miles per gallon

The next post is where everything comes out. - It only represents one fill-up but I think that it's pretty revealing.
