It would definitely be worth researching more. With how gas prices are going and even with a V6, I'm all for something to help!

Does injecting hydrogen into your engine increase efficiency, or is this a myth that's already been busted:

The Hydro-4000

We currently are a distributor for the Hydro- 4000, but before everyone goes oh no, I wanted to share with you what we did before we bought into this.
We have put four demo unts on four of our largest fleets. Our company tracks company vehicles with GPS tracking.
Our fleet owners, like many of you, want a fuel saving solution, but are a little skeptical, and so was I.

We put these on a Isuzu cab over turbo diesel and a Isuzu gas cab over. Also a Dodge sprinter and a F-250 turbo diesel.
it takes a few days to a week to really start to see the improvement, They say it needs to clean out the motor fromall of the deposits and such. But, after 30 days on the Isuzu's we have seen 15-18% increase. This is normal, with an additional increase of 10-15% expected in the next thirty days.

We are closely watching the results, before we start pushing the 4000. So far, it has done what it says it is suppose to do.

We will put the results on our site when they are complete. End of June is our time frame.

Thanks

1. Distilled water isn't that cheap.

2. They don't say how often you have to fill it.

3. Some of their links are "dead" as in "404 page not found"

4. Gimmick to me until proved otherwise....

Hydro-4000

Distilled water is about $1.50 per gallon with about 1 to 1 1/2 cups used per fill up with the Hydro-4000 once it is filled (1.5 Liters). 32 cups in a gallon

With this, you use a gallon of distilled water in about 20 fill ups.

We have had the unit on a Isuzu cab over for about 6 weeks and have seen an increase from 8.9 MPG to 10.8 MPG this is about a 2 MPG increase or a little over 20%. We should see an additional 5% over the next three weeks.

That $1.50 goes a long way.

I think what will be important here is the environment in which your tests were conducted. In order for this test to be totally accurate, one would have to drive at a constant speed on something like a circle track with no traffic...with identical weather conditions.

A 2mpg difference can be seen if the temperature outside is different. Traffic, speeds, stop and go, vehicle weight, elevation of the road, wind will all play roles when conducting this test. Now, if you are putting this on a vehicle that gets 20mpg and then you see an increase to 25 or even 30mpg...then there might be some better validity to the claims.
