Myself and some of the guys at work have been talking about putting this Water4Gas system to the test and see what happens. They are making some pretty amazing claims about the gas savings that you can get with this thing. Since everyone has just been talking and not doing then I decided I would try it out myself.

So I went ahead and bought the plans so I could get started. After I signed up then I found out that they also have a forum that get access to so at least I can ask a question or two if I get stumped. The books are pretty well laid out and easy to navigate between chapters .

The first thing that I do is go ahead and build an HHO electrolyzer. It ends up being pretty easy to do, the only hard part was rounding up all of the parts to do it. The parts that you need are spread out between a bunch of different stores and there were a couple of things that I had to find alternates for. The concept is pretty simple though, you just put some stainless conductors in distilled water with baking soda in it and it is supposed to make the HHO gas.

As soon as I have the thing built then I hook a battery up to it and grab a lighter. Sure enough it is actually making a flammable gas. At this point I am pretty impressed because I had some serious doubts about whether this would happen or not.

A friend of mine decided that he wanted to offer his car as the test dummy. So we go ahead and install the HHO generator in his Honda. Since this is a fuel injected car we are not expecting it to make any improvements on gas mileage yet but I still want to see if it causes any problems.

The install was pretty easy. Hooked up one vacuum line to the intake so the HHO gas can get into the air stream. The plans say that you can just find a wire that is only hot when the engine is running and use that to power the HHO cell. I don't really like the idea of adding an extra load on to an existing circuit though. I just grabbed a relay from the auto parts store and used the hot wire that I had found to operate the relay and used power coming straight from the battery through the relay to run the cell itself.

After starting up the car and letting it run it dispelled most of my worries. The biggest concern that I had was that the HHO gas will ignite at a different temperature than gasoline and I was afraid that it would cause a timing problem. Anyone that has ever had a car jump time on them will know why I was so concerned about a possible timing problem. The car is running and driving smooth and has been for about three weeks now. No signs of back firing or timing issues. I am also a little concerned about moisture in the engine but that will take a long time to find out if it causes a corrosion problem.

Next I built the map sensor enhancer so that we can start trying to lean out the fuel mixture and see if the important part works. This is where we should find out if we save any gas. The enhancer is a pretty simple circuit and I don't have any problems building it. I also have quite a bit of electrical experience though. You will need to know how to read a simple schematic and be able to solder the connections to get it built correctly. If you are not into the wires though there are plenty of them for sale online.

It was just last night that I installed the map sensor enhancer on the Honda so my Water4Gas system test is still ongoing at the time that I am writing this article. We have a blog going where we are tracking the progress on it so please check it out at the link below.
