Default Converting from gas to hydrogen

I'm just wondering if any forum members have had any experience converting their gasoline engines to hydrogen. If so, my specific question is have you had any problems with corrosion to valves, exhaust, or any other components? I'm giving serious consideration to making this conversion to my 95 Ram 318 engine in the near future.
In case you have no idea what I'm talking about check out www.drivewithwaterfuel.com

Default RE: Converting from gas to hydrogen

I've done some looking up on it, theres a bunch of videos on youtube of people adding hydrogen to their enigine and claiming up to +10mpg I'm not sure how well this really works. I couldn't find any info on how to make a homemade kit, which if this worked as well as they say it does I would think there would be a lot of information out there to make one yourself. Maybe I just havent looked in the right place. Anyways if anyone has done this let me know how it went.

#1) If it sounds too good to be true, then it's total BS
#2) Why are people hawking this on the InterWeb Thingy?
#3) If there were any truth to it, auto manufactuers would be incorporating the technology on new cars


This is all BS snake oil.

I poo in a canister in the engine compartment and have a hose from it to the throttle body to feed in free methane. Methane injection rules!

I think the fact that there are 100,000,000 pop-ups and they basically beg you/hijack browser not to leave their site tells you all you need to know about this product.

This is all BS snake oil.
1. Their is a order placed for 10-25 new Millitary Hummers to run on gas/hydrogen. Order to be filled next year.

2. If it has the Millitary/goverment attention it must be worth talking about.

3. The guy is meeting with 3 auto manufactors and letting them bid for the rights for has patent

4. I have a freind who got the blueprints to the hydogen covertion you guys just havn't looked hard enough

Hydrogen is a good conversion if you can find hydrogen refueling stations. However, when you have to make your own hydrogen using water...

And I doubt that "guy" with the supposed patent will get anything out of the manufacturers. They already have hydrogen cars, and know how to make hydrogen for them, why would they need him or his "blueprints"?
