"Questions & Answers" About Hydro-Force Fuel Hydrogen Systems

Q. What is the hydrogen/fuel combined Octane ratio?
A. Hydrogen has an octane rating of roughly 130; regular gas 87. HHO in a well designed cell produces; of the total output volume 2/3 Hydrogen, and 1/3 Oxygen. Rough estimates place the Hydrogen + the atomized gas going into the combustion cycle @ 105-112 Octane. Adding oxygen will create a more efficient burn.
By monitoring the O2 sensor on a scope, you can detect the additional oxygen in the exhaust gas when switching the unit on and off. Adding small amounts of hydrogen fuel to gasoline produces efficient lean operation by increasing the apparent flame speed and reducing ignition lag.
On the older carbureted engines, adjustments must be made. Because the hydrogen fuel will increases combustion speed, initial timing must be retarded so that the combustion doesn't start before the beginning of the combustion/power stroke. Since the gasoline is ignited nearly simultaneously combustion is completed several degrees before the end of the power stroke, which causes the exhaust to be cooler and more oxygen rich.


Q. Do you supply a Warranty on the product? A Guarantee on mileage improvement?
A. Yes. We Do Warranty our systems for manufacture defects for a period of 60 days. View our Limited Warranty on the purchase page.
But as for a Guarantee of Mileage increase - We do not have control over the operating condition of your vehicle. Standard vehicle maintenance is the owners responsibility (checking tire pressure, tune-ups, cleaning air filters, etc.) Failure to do so will effect the outcome of your vehicles performance and efficiency.
2 key components installed by the "vehicle manufacture" are the Oxygen sensor and ECU that make the fuel adjustments for our system. The Oxygen sensor is the most common overlooked component when owners perform vehicle maintenance. This should be replace as often as your spark plugs. Not always will a weak Oxygen sensor throw a check engine code. If this sensor is not working to it's full potential, it will not supply a true reading for the ECU to make the adjustment for fuel efficiency.
We also do not have control over how you mix the electrolyte, which will effect how much hydrogen fuel is produced. So, we do not guarantee how much your mileage will increase.
But, we stand by the statement, YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR MILES PER GALLON. "AN AVERAGE INCREASE" is 25%-35%.


Q. Can I transfer a Hydrogen fuel cell from one vehicle to another? Will my vehicle revert back to its factory setting?
A. Yes. A Hydrogen fuel cell system can easily be transferred onto another vehicle. We supply a install manual with every Fuel Cell. Your vehicle will revert back to factory settings when the fuel cell system is removed. The Hydro-Force Fuel Cell System does not alter or tamper with any factory components of the vehicle when it is installed, so removing the system and installing it on another preferred vehicle is not a problem.


Q. Can I add a Hydrogen fuel cell system to a vehicle without effecting the manufactures warranty?
A. Yes. Installing a hydrogen fuel cell system with a relay will keep the power for the fuel cell completely isolated from the vehicles factory components. There is no chance of the fuel cell overloading other operating vehicle electronic components, since we are supplying the power to the fuel cell directly from the battery. If the system should shut down by blowing the fuse protection by running low on water, your vehicle automatically returns to running at its factory settings. Also, our system requires no electronic voltage altering devices to be installed on the vehicle to TRICK the factory sensors.
In addition, as stated in the "clean air standards act",No action with respect to any device or element of design referred to in paragraph (3) shall be treated as a prohibited act under that paragraph if the action is for the purpose of a conversion of a motor vehicle for use of a clean alternative fuel"


Q. Is it safe to use one of those MAF and Oxygen Sensor Trick Boxes to increase the fuel mileage while using Hydrogen Fuel? What exactly is it doing?
A. No, Absolutely Not. By adding one of these boxes to your vehicle with a Hydrogen Fuel Cell System "Will" Eventually Damage the engine by running it to lean. The internal components of a standard vehicle engine were not designed to run at the temperature that is produced from running mostly Hydrogen Fuel. Manually leaning down the engine with these boxes - past the manufactures settings that are already set in the vehicles ECU, will slow down the regular fuel supply that is keeping within the factory settings of a 14.7:1 Air/Fuel Ratio that helps keep the engine cool. Eventually, Pistons and Cylinder Heads will be damaged, and it will shorten the life of the catalytic converter.
