it would be funny if one of those guys signed up on here and started asking questions about how to get better mpgs since it belongs to one of the guys from the show.

very excited as well... call bs on me.. but when i was running my hydrogen generator i got 22mpg one time on the interstate. I was following a semi close and maintained 55mph on a fairly flat highway... do your research before commenting on this because it is possible with the hydrogen set-up... only problem is maintaining a consistent balance of electrolites in the system.. i burnt my unit up after 2,600 miles and I don't even care to know how many times I had to re-balance the electrolites!! I wasted more time than it was worth

i have done some research on running hydrogen in your vehicle. it is suppose to increase your fuel milage and increase your HP. i have been wanting to do this to my truck but i have been too cheap. i have 3 good sized sheets of stainless steel that i got for free. all i need is to make a case to hold a hydrogen generator.

yeah I have been watching this show since the very first episode and have seen them all. I like how they are strictly 4x4. I have seen that truck on the show 2-3 times and if I am not mistaken it actually belongs to the host Ian Johnson. Will be watching as well......................wish I hadn't just paid and installed a new fan clutch and mechanical fan on my truck

I would have been in the same boat as you if my Manstinct didn't kick in and make me turn on The Powerblock.

Everyone remember to tune in this morning. I am excited to see what they do today. I don't know if the e-fan made a difference in MPG on my truck yet. But, it couldn't have hurt it.

I did my senior project in high school on HHO or "Hydrogen" generators. I built several different designs, experimented and researched a lot. It can improve your gas mileage, but it's a lot easier on a carburated vehicle. In fuel injected vehicles, you have to fool the computer into thinking the truck is running rich, otherwise, once sensing the increased oxygen in the exhaust, the computer will send more fuel into the mixture, negating any gains that you may get.

In a small expperiment, I built a 3' aluminum tube HHO cell with a spiral of stainless steel wire inside. I ran my riding lawn mower idle at mowing rpm with a 1/4 cup of gasoline alone and the same amound with the cell connected to the mower's air cleaner. It ran a considerable amount longer with the cell.
