I think you may be off by a few lbs. on your 28% KOH to water ratio.This measurement is by weight and water weighs about 8.33 lbs. therefore it takes about 2 1/2 lbs. of KOH to 1 gallon distilled to get a 28% ratio.

Also here's another MMW calc. that has more detailed info:

You're right! Nice catch. I think the 10.54 lbs is the weight of water plus the weight of the KOH that equals 28%. Thanks

im using 2 tsps of lye per gallon of water and getting 15 amps.

You must have a wet cell design Gashead,they require much less e-lyte than dry cells.

I see this all the time. How are some guys getting such good output of gas with what I would consider a weak mixture. What is your setup?

To use that weak a ratio of e-lyte they have to be using a wet cell set up such as a smack design.

And I'm pulling about 20A on two banks of 6-plate cell ( 6plate cell x2 ). Getting about 1.5 LPM.

BUT I'm still working on seeing a diff in mileage. Just added a o2 spacer. Will see what happens next.
