Get Better Gas Mileage For Your Truck With An HHO Cell


Get Better Gas Mileage For Your Truck With An HHO Cell

Whether you drive a pickup or a semi, in a world of rising fuel prices, getting better gas mileage for your truck has to be a priority. Trucks are designed for haulage and cargo capacity rather than fuel economy, so with mileages of 15 mpg (for pickups) or 5-6 mpg (for semis) or less, driving can become a costly affair. Thankfully, since the invention of the HHO fuel cell, there is another way.

HHO is an ideal solution for truck drivers. When funnelled into the intake manifold, this clean-burning gas has been known to more than double a vehicle's standard mileage. And the beauty of HHO is that it is created from water. Electricity drawn from the battery is passed through electrodes submerged in water, causing electrolysis. During electrolysis the water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen molecules to form HHO.

With more battery power you can generate more HHO, which is another reason why this system is especially suited to trucks. Because trucks typically have two to four batteries, they can provide more electricity for electrolysis.

HHO gas delivers the power of hydrogen - which burns 10 times faster than gasoline - as well as the benefits of 34% oxygen, which causes gasoline to burn faster and cleaner. The fact is that only around 20-30% of the gas in your tank is normally combusted for fuel - the rest converts into soot that cakes your engine or pollution that goes out your exhaust! But when HHO enters the cycle, it shortens the burn time of gasoline and increases flame speed and cylinder pressure, resulting in far more efficient combustion.

Not only can this enhanced combustion increase your mileage by 20-50%, it can provide a good deal more horsepower - something that you will notice when pulling heavy loads or climbing steep hills. It also substantially reduces carbon emissions, which are subject to strict regulations.

You'd expect something so powerful to be expensive, but relative to what you can save on your gas bill, an HHO fuel cell is actually quite cheap to make and install. You should be able to buy HHO plans for less than $100 and parts for less than $250. And once you've installed your kit, the biggest ongoing expenses of creating HHO will be water - less than a gallon a month - and electrolyte solution! (Of course, you'll still need to buy some gas, though less often than before).

When it comes to doing what is best for your wallet, your truck, and your environment, there is nothing that can compete with HHO gas technology. You can stop worrying about carbon emissions or the amount of gasoline your vehicle guzzles every day. By converting to HHO you will get better gas mileage for your truck and reduce your carbon footprint as well.
