Default Water4Gas

I wanted to get some feedback about the following:

With the price of gas going through the roof I have ben reading about 'Water4Gas' which seems to be the top and most preferred alternative to beating the gas prices. I have a '97 Land Rover Range Rover 4.0 with 150k miles and runs great except for the mileage. Has anyone heard of or tried this 'system' out on their Rover and if so what kind of results? Thanks.

Would this by chance be one of those amazingly incredible brita pitchers that magically turns water into pressurized hydrogen for your engine to burn?

The only thing they are good for, is giving you an alternative to straight gasoline. They're pretty much NOS kits, instead of pumping high powered nitrous to give you a power boost, it just steadily leaks hydrogen into the block. The hopeis that your engine will recognize the supposedly more powerful fuel-air mixture, and put in less fuel. Which it doesn't do.

So...feel free to try your luck at it...but....yea..

Thanks, but it's none of the above.

Yea it is....it sets you up with a tank of water, an electrode to submerge, and then you hook up to your alternator to begin electrolysis and produce HHO gas. Then you pipe that into your intake.

The problem is that you're electricity generated by the engine is what is driving the system...and the worst part, is that the electrolysis uses more energy than you get from burning it with gasoline.

And it's still a piece of junk.
