    it seems to me that if you somehow have better results from grounding to the chassis, than when you grounded to the battery (which the chassis is grounded to) then you may have not grounded to the battery right. perhaps yoou didnt have a clean connection to the battery and then made a better connection when you grounded to the chassis?

    Smile re wire completed

    Ok there is a series of videos to watch, unfortunately there isnt a pause button on my phone, hence a few videos.

    Ive a question about the intercooler and my connection to the air intake, have a look at the long video, cant help thinking i should be connecting to the otherside of the engine, if so how?

    Good videos Jim.

    I'll leave the intercooler question for the other guys, I don't have any experience with diesels.

    I'm glad to hear that your voltage readings are better. Yes, that was a lot of wire in the first install. Voltage drop is usually calculated by amps times wire resistance per metre, so the extra length was hurting you.

    Your electrolyte measuring isn't quite right though. For a 20% concentration, you need 20% (1/5) of the total weight, not the weight of the water alone.
    Weigh the water, divide by four, then add that weight of NaOH. That mix in the video was actually 16.7%.

    Smile fuse blown

    Well drove 2 miles looked under the bonnet/hood and the fuse had blown, washed out mix and changed to water only, must be a lot of residue in the bottom of second rector. Measurents taken with just water 44mv on the shunt and 13.18 volts on rector one and 13 volts on second.

    Jim;
    I would like to straighten out the confusion on which side of the intercooler you should be using.
    1; Because your not making more HHO and pumping it in under pressure then you must let it be sucked in on the VACUUM side(which is where you currently have it).
    2; You don't usually want to have to go thru the cooler or long distances with HHO, but you don't have that option with your vehicle as the pressure would back feed your reactors and resevior.

    Sorry for the earlier confusion.
    Its done right or its not done !
    Hail HHO.

    so are you saying that because i have an intercooler then it is more than likely i will not get the full benefit of HHO?

    or, and i have to make more HHO than i have made so far, and if so how more LPM?roughly.

    OK, in this situation you have two options, re-install the PWM to control your current, or mix your electrolyte weaker to lower your amp draw.
    Personally, I like the second option, but many like being able to alter amp draw as conditions change with the minimum fuss by using a PWM.

    You've gone with the second option for now, 44mV across your shunt = 29.3A. I wonder how high it was before the fuse let go with the strong mix.

    I wouldn't worry about moving the inlet of the second reactor unless you have to tear it down for something else.

    No, I'm saying that because you don't produce enough to pressurize and inject under pressure you have to allow it to be sucked in by the vacuum! WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

    As far as the quality of the HHO, the less time or length that it has to travel the better the quality, if you are producing good quality in the first place.

    I personally think you have a contamination problem in one of you cells. Or a plate is warped, if you keep blowing fuses. You should check your voltage readings a little closer across each plate of each cell.
    Its done right or its not done !
    Hail HHO.
