I have always thought of getting a car converted to LPG, now this looks an easier option

Hi Al,

Go on give it a go.

It's a clickbank affiliate thing, and on the whole they are usually bordering on scam. You pay some dosh and get a download of some garbage info- probably.

How's the 33, have you managed to straighten out the front, and get the cambelt/ valves done?

Cheers,

John

Yeah give it a go! Very Happy
I've heard that making hydrogen by electrolysis with a normal plate system takes a lot of current, produces a bit of heat and not enough gas to compensate.
This system looks a bit different though.
What I wanna know is how the gas gets into the engine - the video shows it entering a t-junction in the 'vacuum line to the fuel injection'.... Question
If it enters anywhere other than through the factory fuel injection or carburettors, your engine's not going to know to use less petrol to compensate for the gas addition. If it enters another way, maybe the extra power from the car burning both petrol and gas means you just don't need to use as much throttle, hence fuel saving.
I've always found this stuff interesting, I just wish the websites wouldn't market it in such a long-winded American infomercial style - it doesn't help their credibility. Confused
