Assuming a 50/50 mix (water/alcohol) how much do you use for how much of a mileage gain? Trying to figure out if the mpg increase and saving of diesel is worth the cost of the alcohol. Anyone know? Thanks.
I suspect based on the tubular shape of the above hydrogen generator that the internal plates are just stainless steel washers. It will run for a little while until the washer all corrode up and then stops working. You will need to make about 6L/min of hydrogen to get much benefits on a Duramax.
Not having one personally (yet), but have friends that run them (1 cummins, 1 powerstroke, & 2 D'max). None of them had any fuel mileage increase. The water provided decreased egt's, and the meth provided a little more power.
For fuel economy, look at propane. Only 1 of my friends (cummins driver) has that, and he picked up 3 mpg with his mega cab dually running 37" tires and stock gearing. I have read on these forums, that others get higher fuel mileage by playing with the regulator on the propane.
labonte water meth work awesome havnt calc mpg but same trips pulling fifth wheel with and without water meth use to use 3/8 tank now use 1/4 tank
