This is pretty interesting when you read everything on it. I have been looking at reviews and stuff and cannot see where it wouldn't work. The thing is that you buy two books and build your own kit, then install it. www.water4gas.com

My mechanic is a pretty good friend of mine. I am gonna forward this to him and see what he thinks. He keeps up pretty well with these type of things. I would love to see my Tundra pulling 50mpg's!!! Apparently, statistically we only utilize 17% of our fuel and the rest is burns off.

I read that one also. I have probably looked at 10 or more websites and have not found anything against it. The books are downloadable so there not in print. Then you have to purchase the equipment to build the unit. I think that in theory it should work.

It seems that the only negative feedback comes from people who don't research and are expecting to receive a simple installable device.

Thats all I have come up with also. Seems some people feel scammed because they only get an online book that tells you what you need and how to build it.

It is the same system as water4gas except you can build it cheaper then the hydro 4000, or buy the system cheaper. I was ready to buy the books and after a little research, here is why I didn't. I came across a site that sells the system and there was a note on it that said that you may want to try it on an inexpensive or older car first because you have to add sodium. Sodium is salt based and they didn't know the long term effect as far as rusting. Since then, There was a guy who actually came into our service department and he always comes in and talks to me. We got to talking and he started talking to me about this device that he purchased for $195 from a friend of his in Miami, It was the water4gas device. Anyways, He had the device ready at home and said that he was getting ready to install it in his suburban and he would bring it by after installation. I will take some pics of it but I'm not sure when he will be back. I am also gonna let him run it for 6 months or so and then see if anything is rusted. I mentioned the rust to him and he said the system comes with an inline filter to catch any particles to keep out the salt.

Looked pretty factual on news 58-61% increase in mpg. Wonder if it works for smaller diesels & as Yunt said,long term effects.

I read on for three days looking for something that said it would not work. I could not find anything. I did find that it seemed the smaller vehicles got more MPGs then big ones. But even big ones had an increase in MPGs.

I will wait and see what happens with suburban hate to tear up a new car maybe if i had an older car to experiment on.But if it really works it would be worth it for sure keep us informed.

I'll tell you what, you can bolt one on my Suburban and I will look out for rust.

I sure am eager to hear the results of the test to see if there is an rust in the engine from the salt.

If you read he suggests using KOH for the electrolite KOH is potassium hydroxide .
