Diesel Mileage - How to Increase Diesel MPG with Hydrogen
Conversion
Diesel mileage is a hot topic right now considering diesel
fuel is running over $4 a gallon - up nearly $1 from one
year ago. Fuel prices have been tough on everyone
especially diesel drivers and semi owner/operators. Diesel
drivers are looking for solutions - from diesel chips to
additives and diy hydrogen conversion kits. So how can you
increase diesel mpg with hydrogen conversion?
Well, total hydrogen conversion is not completely practical
right now due to lack of hydrogen stations for fueling -
however, there are thousands of people using hydrogen in
their vehicles right now as a supplement to gasoline and
diesel. This type of hydrogen conversion in effect turns
your vehicle into a hydrogen hybrid. You can build it
yourself in a matter of hours. The hydrogen gets mixed with
gas or diesel to provide increased horsepower and better
diesel mileage.
To do a hydrogen conversion, you need an comprehensive guide
to safely and correctly install a small container (or 6-pack
for increasing a semis diesel mileage) under the hood. This
container uses water and baking soda, plus the electricity
from your battery to break down the water into hydrogen
molecules that your engine can then use as a fuel
supplement. This process is also known as electrolysis,
brown's gas, or hho - the contraption being called a
hydrogen generator.
Basically, the hydrogen gas then gets sucked up into your
air manifold via the engine's vacuum where it mixes with
diesel or gasoline to increase combustion, and your engine's
efficiency. Hydrogen conversion works on injection or
carburetor systems, and you don't have to mess with the
computer. There's no need to make any engine alterations
and the system is easily removed, for instance, when you
want to resell your vehicle.
If you poke around some auto forums, you'll find a great
deal of debate surrounding hydrogen conversions. Some say
it won't work. But it's hard to argue with actual results.
We found a guy on cnet that improved diesel mileage from 17
to 24 mpg in town in his Dodge cummins diesel.
There are many expensive kits being sold online for hydrogen
conversion. You can spend $1000's of dollars for a hydrogen
injection kit, or you can purchase detailed manuals online
that explain exactly how to complete a hydrogen conversion,
and do it yourself with parts you can pick up at your local
home improvement store.
