Are you injecting hydrogen, or is your system more than that?

NO NO NO...I did not get the idea of nominating Jessica Alba for President, (because I want a pair of "boobs" in the White House that are 1) nice to look at......2) are not likely to cause any more damage to our country then the last few pair.....) from injecting hydrogen into my body - I do not eat, smoke, or inject any vile foreign substances into my precious bodily fluids. I do, however, have an EX, and there are people who say I am nuts for owning one...

I'm introducing HHO into the air box at 2L per min and I'm also modifying the O2, IAT, MAP and Coolant temp sensors. I'm changing the signals to lean out the fuel.

All the HHO gas is doing is making the remaining fuel burn more complete by exploding faster and hotter, giving a more complete burn of the smaller amount of fuel.

I guess some guys are thinking the vehical runs only on HHO gas.

Ah-HA!! That's where your gains are. And what could be to the detriment of your engine.

Please give us the scientific reasoning behind this. How does something with less energy cause "the remaining fuel burn more complete by exploding faster and hotter". We'll start there.

yep. and I can about believe the 25-28mpg... Heck a good SCT tuner could get very close to that by running just gasoline - and your car likely dangerously lean.

So in the end it's no big feat HTR- you are leaning the sh1t out of your mixture (higher combustion temps) so I hope with the extra money you save you are doing more oil changes.

Also, What happens if you need to floor it on the highway? what does your commanded A/F look like at WOT now? What are the A/F readings at cruise? 20:1 lol? Do you even tune with a real wideband?

High engine temps, low power, poor WOT responce.... These are things I thought I'd be dealing with and almost made me decide not to install the kit.

However: I haven't had those problems. Reason, The small amount of fuel is all the engine really needs to burn. You know how Jacob's ignition system delivers a hotter spark, the multi-prong plugs deliver more spark distribution...ect. That's kind of what the HHO does. Mixed with the air, it get distributed through the cylinder. HHO explodes much faster and hotter than fuel. Yes, HHO has more energy per unit than regular fuel. It's a chemistry lesson to explain why (don't have time right this second, but if you'd like, later I can give a class - I'm an engineer ME degree from MIT).

I've even found that the ignition is so much quicker, I have to retard the timing slighly.

Now, oil changes... I do them on a regular 3000mile/3months schedule for now. I noticed that the oil isn't getting dirty as fast and I'm having the oil tested for vescosity and particals. Since I'm not seeing a running temp differance, I'm suspecting the oil is fine. However, since I'm burning more in the engine and way less in the Cat, I noticed that the tail pipe looks like it's been power washed (inside). That was just something I ran into, I wasn't looking for that result. But it makes sence. The cat burns the excess fuel at a high temp, no flame using the platnum plate to crack the fuel and leaving a mess of burnt hydro-carbons. With less fuel, less burnt carbons in the exhaust.... Just my thought.

One last thing, yes you can use a sct tuner to do this. And that would do away with the parasite electronics (optomiser) that I use to change the settings. But that would bring your performance way down. If you added an additional high energy fuel at a slow rate, like a low level N2O drip.... you'd get simular results. But you can't produce N2O, you have to buy it.... and it's typically delivered at high pressure blasts for power boost. That's why N2O gets the engine so hot. I'm pushing 2L per min of HHO, not much compaired to the amount of air/fuel the engine is getting. So I can keep up with production and the engine temp is non the wiser.

So I get this email today... I chose the "Unsubscribe" option at the bottom of the email.

Dear XXXXX,

Hello from Dutchman Enterprises. We appreciate your having taken the time at some time in the past to request a quote for a PICC for one or more
vehicles(s). We were concerned about EPA issues with the technology originally, but we have re-designed around those considerations and we are no longer concerned about our special catalytic converter qualifying with the EPA. With gas prices rising as they have, other large interests have been looking for solutions to some of their problems and we have discovered a common interest in helping the American car manufacturers get back to doing what they do bestâ?Ļmake the kind of vehicles Americans want. The door has opened for us to better serve the American consumers. We have some extremely important news. Ford and Dutchman have been talking and Ford finally gave permission for Dutchman to tell the public what is going on. This last weekend, a Ford executive spent several hours speaking to the dealers involved in distributing the Dutchman Enterprises automotive technologies at their annual dealers convention.
Dutchman Enterprises can now announce that the initial meeting with representatives of Ford Motor Company went very well and both parties are
excited about testing the HAFC and PICC and for the potential of improving fuel economy for American automobiles. The initial reaction of the Ford team involved was excitement and enthusiasm over the potential of both the HAFC and the PICC. Discussions have begun about both companies partnering together to further develop these technologies.
Dutchman Enterprises received a letter from the engineer that is heading up the Ford team to test the HAFC. In that letter from Corporate Headquarters in Dearborn Michigan, the leading engineer wrote, â?othe (HAFC) concept makes good sense.â? There have been critics at large who have challenged the idea of water gas and called it a scam technology, but one has to consider the fact that no one knows more about automobiles and what makes sense relating to them than the engineers who design and build them. This same engineer, in the same letter, wrote, â?oWe are also excited about the potential of the PICC technology.â?

Ford is discussing getting involved because these technologies make sense.
Their testing is supposed to be over on or around October 1st, and the
executive that addressed the dealers gave everyone the impression it was going well. They have even asked for more units and that is a good sign.
Mr. Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company, was interviewed on CNBC on the 12th of September, and he told the reporter that there are some interesting things happening in the alternative fuels area. He said, â?oHydrogen technologies, involving water, offer some incredible opportunities to do something with the engines we already have.â? That is not a statement about regular Hydrogen Fuel Cells, which do not operate with current engines. It is reasonable to assume he is talking about water gas injection and the Hydro-Assist Fuel Cells, which his people are currently testing.
Of course, Dutchman Enterprises is excited about the prospects of partnering
with Ford Motor Company and their thousands of Ford dealers all across the USA and throughout the world. Not to mention the engineering and research prospects for developing the PICC to itâ?Ts full potential. It is not hard to see why Ford would want to be able to get 50% (or even 30%) better mileage out of their existing SUVs and Pickup trucks. It could save the US auto industry to be able to develop the PICC within a year or so to be able to get 100 miles per gallon or better (city and highway) with future SUVs and Pickups. Both of these technologies have world wide patent protection owned by Dutchman Enterprises.
What does this mean to you? It is time to seriously consider getting your HAFC kit on order NOW. The Ford executive mentioned that he thought our prices were too low and that they should be double what we are currently charging. I guess he is right, because we were charging the same price we currently charge for the kit when gas prices were half what they are now. When Ford comes in that will most likely change. The demand will also go through the roof! Just to modify the Ford vehicles will involve 60 million cars. A word to the wise, get your HAFC on order. The PICC will most likely not be on the market for another year or so. Ford will want to develop it with new car designs in mind, while Dutchman Enterprises will absolutely insist on an after market version as well, but that will delay it for well over a year down the road. In the meantime, can there be any doubt now that the concept of the HAFC is sound and can improve fuel economy? You have the benefit of being able to get a little ahead of the curve while the price is half what it will be and while there is not a waiting list as long as the gas lines in the 70s.
As, we are sure, you have already discovered, we have assigned a customer
service representative, who works for one of our dealers, to you. If you have
any questions about this message, please contact Manager, your customer
service representative, using this email address, support@preignitioncc.com. Let our representative do his or her best to answer all your questions and get your HAFC kit in process. One report we recently read made the point that by merely increasing the mileage of vehicles in America by a mere 30% we could eliminate our need for ANY of the middle Eastern oil! Can you imagine what we can do for America and American car manufacturers just by installing the HAFC kits now?
When Ford joins us, we will be able to put a LOT of people back to work and
stop this fossil fuels insanity. With their help, our PICC will be all that it
can be, and all American car manufacturers can get us all the cars and pickup trucks we want with no concern for fuel costs or pollution. This is the answer we are all looking for. Thank you for your support in this effort.
If you have any questions about this announcment, please contact your customer service representative who is Manager using the his email address,
support@preignitioncc.com.

Dedicated to a safe, environmentally sound, and prosperous America,

Dennis Lee
(CEO-Dutchman Enterprises, LLC)
P.S. Please do not respond to this email address because we do not monitor it for incoming email. If you need to contact someone, please contact your
customer service rep and/or dealer.

HAFC Contact is a website that has same message posted.

HAFC Engine Kit is a website with more stuff and a pic of the kit you can purchase. The website allows paypal pmts...or free shipping if paying by check.

Well, Ford..... Told you they were getting involved.

The thing is, if everyone is getting 100 plus on gas mileage, what will that mean for the rest? If I don't mind spending $8 per gal because I know that I'll get 3200 miles out of my 2 tanks, what about the guy with out the conversion? He'll still be at 440 miles with the same tanks.

The only thing I'm worried about, if Ford is interested in just applying the PICC to new cars, will this be a ploy to force us to buy new cars to get the kits? I wouldn't buy a new truck if I could convert my old one and I think Ford knows that.

I just hope that the PICC comes out in aftermarket form.

Wait a minute, are you claiming that a letter written by the snake oil merchant that is trying to sell these is now proof that Ford is getting involved?

How about a Ford press release, on Media.Ford.com: if you want anyone to believe you?

Not to mention, there are plenty of people working for Ford that post on this site, if something was up, and it was as big as this guy claims his technology is, we'd have known about it for a while now.

Has the test happened yet? Again, until the results are in I think the proponent of this technology should not be subjected to ridicule.

C'mon, the "results" have been in since the beginning of the universe. The pseudo-science involved violates the Law of Thermodynamics.

I think that the onus is on the person claiming something outlandish to prove it in order to stop the ridicule.
