50% increase in Gas mileage?

[speedyx14]

This website sells a Pre ignition catalytic converter which supposedly increases your gas mileage by 50%. The product costs $1,000.

Has anyone tried this? Do you think it would really work.
Here is the site: http://www.befreetech.com/save_gas.htm

Re: 50% increase in Gas mileage?

so let me see if I got this. It adds hyrogen gas to the fuel mixture, which supposedly makes the computer see a rich condition and thus it leans out the fuel mixture?

So your adding a highly combustable gas and taking away fuel and then igniting it......hmmm......seems to me things will get MIGHTY hot in that combustion chamber.

If it said 'Increase by 5% or even 10%' I might be intrigued, but 50%??? Eat my balls.....

If this worked don't you think the auto makers would be selling cars that used it?

isnt' leaning out your car potentially hazardous??

besides, not all cars have post cat o2's

yes, there is a very high chance of burning a hole in the piston running it lean

buuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllllllsssssssshhhhhhiiiiiiii ttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!




automakers are hurting... if there was a way to save gas they would be all over it and it would be broadcast on the news as a huge fuel saver not some super secret bull**** thing that does nothing.

Post cat O2s just monitor the cat, and have nothing to do with how the engine runs.

This is NOT bull****; however, after buying the $1000 "bottle of water" the computer won't realize what's happening and your car will run like ****. Many diesels are doing this conversion as they don't monitor the oxygen rate like most modern FI cars do. You'll use less gas because it burns the hydrogen instead; all the "device" is, is a simple container you fill with water; you then send an electrical current through it which breaks up the Hydrogen molecules from the Oxygen molecules. Inject the hydrogen into the motor and you can run off of it. However, controlling the injection rate, burn rate, etc etc is more difficult. When running this on a fuel injected vehicle, the car will almost constantly see a rich condition, therefore leaning out the gas flow; but since the hydrogen is harder to regulate, the O2 reading is fluctuating alot more then normal, confusing the computer. While it's trying to correct for these different readings, it can harm the motor and give you even worst mileage.

Re: 50% increase in Gas mileage?

yeah, it works somewhat...but it really only helps gas mileage at idle and low rpms. so unless you idle more than 50% of the time, you won't see advertised gains. Build one yourself! its not that difficult...also the information on this page is 75% bs. Turning fuel into a plasma, ****.

You can build your own for like $50-100. depending on how complicated you want to make it. the most expensive part is electrodes; silver is good, platinum is ideal, however you can get a working model with graphite if you need to. anyway, I'd be willing to help you if your interested. PM me

Sounds like a waste of $1040.00 to me.
