HHO: Is it alchemy? Or will it improve gas mileage on a ’99 4.0 SOHC Explorer?

In Town Gas MIleage

I was blown away when I refilled the tank. I had used only 1/4 of a tank and the odometer clocked 245 miles.

It took 7.2 gallons of BP 89 fuel netting 34.02 MPG.

well now that is interesting :thumbsup:

and enough reason for me to start doing some playing myself.

OK I'm game, Josh send me those plans along with that document, the more I read the better my system will work, well in theory anyway.. Btw for all the fuss you made over cutting the plexi, your stuff looks really good, what did you use to glue it together? or did you weld it with a plastic welder?

keep those numbers coming, before I can play around with the hho I need to get my UD pulley on. I finally got around to putting in my electric fan tonight, but I didn't have time to drive it much, since it was a perfect night for fishing

I want to have a few weeks of driving with these mods so i have a good baseline to compare it to.

anyway, I am ready to build some of these, maybe see if I can get my wifes car into the high 40's or 50's

can you give us some info on the "new" cell you got (from the guy in Houston,TX) also do you have one or 2 cells?

99SportX · July 19, 2008

That is unreal Al! Great to hear. I may have to jump on the HHO bandwagon soon.

shortstack · July 19, 2008

do you think the Map / MAF Sensor Enhancer is really worth the $85 will it really help that much on gas?

whoathere · July 19, 2008

That is great. Do we know yet how much the MAF adjuster has helped separate from the HHO system?

No. It is used as a component of the HHO "system", I have no intention of using it without the HHO generator.

curt1007 · July 19, 2008

WOW! that is amazing. I still need to put that MAF adjuster on my V-8 Mounty and see what I can get. So far with only the single HHO I am getting about 16.8 MPG in town driving. I do not use this truck daily so I amnot rushing.Going to try to figure out the MAF today if I can figure out which wire to connect to.

It should be determined how it affects and the results it produces on the engine by itself. Because it is leaning the fuel mixture.

Sounds like a great project for YOU to do.

If by "additive" you are referring to the electrolyte, then yes I am currently testing with baking soda.

Relatively cheap is the ScanGaugeII, about $160. I have one, and several other members do too, seems to be pretty accurate as far as sensor readings from the engine.

aldive · July 21, 2008

For a scanner, take a look at the offerings from Auto X Ray ( http://www.autoxray.com/ ).

Good luck ....
