Any more after that we put in actually becomes fuel and may actually cause the operating parameters of the engine to change. It may actually need for the timing to be set differently than what the computer calls for. It also may increase the probability of the computer realizing something is happening and cause it to fight back. I think most of us realize we aren't going to make enough HHO for it to be the sole fuel source for our vehicles. With that thought in mind, maybe we should concentrate more on discovering just how much HHO is enough to optimize it's performance as a catalyst.

Dave, That is the million dollar question. With the differences in all the ECU's out there and even thr differences in programming from year yo year in the same make and model that answer would be a very difficult one to quantify. The best tests would be in a lab on a small motor with no electronic interference from an ecu. Then we could actually see how the burn is affected.

2008 Nissan Frontier 4X4 Nismo. 12 MPG baseline with my normal commute and heavy stop and go daily driving. Generator installed and working on 3/29/2009
Up to 14.5 MPG with no enhancers. Still testing the effects of lots of HHO and no electronic enhancers.
