There has been a lot of interest in hho kits, which can increase your car’s engine efficiency and get you better gas mileage. It is hard to get through all of the hype. How do you locate a hydrogen generator that will perform as advertised with all of the options out there?

There might not be any easy way to really know if a unit is well made until you have it in your hands. Pictures can lie or misrepresent. Still, it is important to look over all the information you can. Many sales pages have links to videos, testimonials and performance data that is well worth reading.

Some important ingredients to an hho kit are the hydrogen generator, mounting bolts and brackets, hose or tubing, bubbler tank (if the design calls for it). You will also require fuses, wires, switches and other electrical supplies.

The generator is the most important component to research well . This unit needs to made out of a durable, sealed housing that can take some road abuse. Underneath the hood, the hho generator will be subjected to heat variations, vibrations and shock that will crack or otherwise wreck a weak component. Since it will hold fluids and electrical parts, it needs to be tough.

You can never have enough mounting hardware is what I always say. It is good to have leftovers, and these are the cheapest parts of the whole package so make sure everything you need will be included. There should be hose clamps, wire brackets, tubing brackets and supplies to attach the hydrogen generator securely to your vehicle.

Another area that needs to be examined is if there is a good length of wiring and hose to hook up the unit. It might take more than you think, depending on how the engine compartment is set up and where you place the generator. See if the specifications let you know where to attach the unit to the motor and the wiring harness.

Check the item’s description for dimensions, and then go to your vehicle with a tape measure and see if it will actually fit anywhere. Modern vehicles don’t have all that much room under the hood. Buying a unit you can’t install due to space restrictions is no good.

Another thing to look for is a money back guarrantee. This way, if you buy the unit and it arrives, only for you to learn that it was a waste of your time, you haven’t lost all of your money. Check customer feedback to see if anyone that wasn’t happy got any customer service, if possible.

After looking at several hho kits for sale, you will be able to make a better decision. Make sure to pay special attention to the customer feedback, or lack of it. Finding the right kit for your vehicle can take some time, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Despite the price of crude oil going down in price in the world market, there is still the issue of the world economic slowdown to be concerned about. Any amount of savings is welcome in these uncertain times, and one item in particular stands out when looking for ways to cut costs – the cost of gasoline. Today, people are clamoring for better gas mileage and asking car manufacturers to improve the fuel economy of vehicles.

The truth is that people don’t need to wait and rely on car manufacturers to provide technologies that can help provide fuel savings. There are many things you can do already to lower your fuel bill such as looking to bio fuels, home made bio diesel, bio diesel conversions kits. Then there are some promising alternative options such as Hydro Assist Fuel Cells (HAFC) and Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter (PICC) technology. PICC is technology that has been in here for a long time already but is only new getting noticed.

This technology is in the early stages of development. But even at this early stage it is already showing its promise – up to five times gas mileage increase.

In truth this is an old technology being used in a new way. Every factory made car has a Catalytic Converter, but is installed post ignition. It is installed in the car’s emission system and is used to break down gas that is left un-burnt in the engine. The catalytic converter breaks the gas molecules into smaller particles that can then be incinerated in the tailpipe before being released.

PICC technology aims to use this system in reverse, breaking down the gas into smaller particles before sending it to the engine. The theory is that because the fuel is broken down before it reaches the engine, a more efficient burn will occur. That is, theoretically, how the PICC will work.

How can fuel savings be achieved, and how much?

Already, modern fuel injectors made by car manufacturers have been effective in controlling just the right amount of fuel into the engine to improve a car’s fuel economy. Adding the PICC system and tweaking fuel injector controls can further lessen the fuel needed to run and engine.

In one scientific test, a gas guzzling 318 V-8 Chrysler engine was run on a brand new state of the art dynamometer (the same testing equipment that Detroit uses) at 3,000rpms under a 50% load for an hour. Before the PICC modification, the engine used 18 pounds of fuel, which when converted approximates 22 mpg. Then researchers ran the same test with an engine with PICC modification and ran the engine under the exact same conditions for another hour. After the test, it was found the engine used only 2 pounds of fuel, a 9-fold increase in efficiency totaling a staggering 200 m per gallon, an amazing mileage from anyone’s standard.

Although still in the development and testing stages, it is showing a lot of promise. It means more savings, more money for other expenses, reduction in greenhouse gases, and most importantly for America, less dependence on foreign oil.
