Thanks Rick. I don't anticipate a boiling problem and can't tell you why it would happen, but will let you know my results after I get it installed.
Hi Eric - My truck is running quite well now and pulling my trailer without any problems. I have headers and the spacer that is supposed to give more air flow (Can't recall name) as well as a better air filter and oversize exhaust system. I'm not that much of a mechanic to do a lot of fancy testing, so can't do as you suggest, except to do a long test run over the same route before and after installation after allowing a weeks running to let the sensors and computer adapt or whatever they do. I had to put a new computer in last year and it took a while and lots of miles before it settled in, but once it did, it was great!.
What type of HHO Generator did you build? Is it using the stainless plates, or the stainless wire wrap type, or what?
I was testing mine on a 90 Acura Integra. I wanted to start small before I upsized for my truck. Now my truck isn't running anyway due to a bad transmission anyway.
I had put on a high flow air intake with the cone filter to make room for my mason jar. There was no room for it anywhere under the hood. I've wondered if the heat under the hood combined with the plate type setup contributed to the boiling.
By the way, when your generator is together, is it sealed or does it have a 'breather vent'? I originally was building it so that the jar sealed except for the hose to the air intake, but then I read in an article about a small vent to allow air in, through a tube to the bottom of the jar, for air to displace the water as it is used. Without the 'vent' I know is could build a vacuum in the jar. Maybe I needed that to happen.
Any advice or tips you have on what you built, would be helpful. It is helpful to have someone that I can converse with that is doing the same thing. Harder when no one is discussing it. Helps motivate me.
Hi Rick - I haven't got my hydrogen generator built yet; still rounding the parts. This one does not use a Mason jar but black 4 inch ABS pipe and has a 'bubbler' of ABS pipe to handle any backfire that might explode the hydrogen in the generator. It uses stainless steel outlet covers for the plate stack. You can visit my blog site at lesmcmillan.com for more info, and maybe click on the link shown. That will explain fully about the system and the manual I bought. You may get enough free info to revamp your system, but the manual and videos do go into a lot of detail that is important. By the way, my system will have a vacuum relief valve. Shouldn't boil as long as there is not too many amps. being fed in. Keep in touch. I have a bunch of summer things happening so it may be a few weeks before I get it all assembled and working..Les.

Cool, thanks!! I'll check out your link and think about a redesign. I'll keep in touch too.
