V8 Discovery on Hydrogen
Anyone else out there running hydrogen cells in their land rover? Wanted to find out for myself - I fitted 2 cells to my 97 V8 auto disco and am getting a definate improvement in fuel consumption - it works!

couple of pics of setup - a little temporary until I was convinced it worked - will take out soon and reinstall a little more professionally. So simple and very safe!
Layout - cells must be lower than water tank

Running 2 cells

Electrics (relay and 2 fuses) and distilled water/electrolyte tank - tube from top of tank delivers hydrogen to air inlet

Hate to rain on your parade, but whatever you paid for these things, you got ripped off.
There's no such thing as free energy.
While the technology will (could) produce hydrogen, the amount will be so minuscule it won't make a difference.
If it was so simple, don't you think it'd be all over the news, the govt would be mandating it to save energy, etc, etc?
A good thread on this subject here http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-ch...ogen-fuel.html

Love those knockers!
Not interested in getting into debates as to why it wont work. FACT-It does work and it does deliver results. I would like to here from anyone who has had PRACTICAL experience in using hydrogen as a supplement to petrol in an effort to further improve results.

I am sceptical too cnorris (Sceptical not cynical).
I am happy to be convinced.
Do you have any fuel figures yourself? Have you run it on a Dyno?
I drive a 98V8 D1 and I'd love to improve its fuel economy. What does the system cost?
And welcome to aulro too!

You can go ino all the chemical energy side of things,can and cant be done and discuss this and that for weeks and come back to where you start( I hope we dont do this)
What it does do is similar to the claims of diesel gas conversions.
Its about using the hydrogen and oxygen and burning the existing main fuel better to improve fuel burn overall even though some extra energy is used to drive the altenator

simple questions
so the simple questions are
1. what were you doing mpg pre installation
2. what are you doing mpg post installation
3. what did installation cost you
4. did you retune or recalibrate the electricals for the system to work
5. what down side have you encountered
6. whats the payback time on the conversion
