Hey Pete,

How are you doing with the HHO? Haven't seen anything from you on Preloved lately!

Regards

Hi Dutch in Brum,I am still trying diff configs,but the containers I am useing are not all that good and soon start to leak,so after christmas I am getting one from the USA as there is nothing yet in the UK,the 11 & 13 plate units produce best at about 15 amps 1.1/4 - 1.1/2 Ltrs a min and that should increase mpg by about 40/50% which could give me about 40/44 mpg and I would be happy with that,but I will post it up as soon as one is fitted again and give the results.Thanks Pete.

forgot to say have been working on my spitfire as well and also building a new elec park flier.so rearly forgot about poor old preloved.

Pete.

pete1946; read your post about this HHO with interest, but have absolutely no idea what it is; please enlighten.

no offence intended; just a general observation; lady drivers do tend to leave the front wheels facing the wrong direction when manouvring at low speed, like three point turns. before coming to a halt turn the wheels the other way instead of heaving it round with the vehicle stationary.I may be male but am certainly no schwarzenegger  and have never found it a problem. my wife has started to do it over the last few years. my daughter does it; have two sisters who also do it, but my two sons and my brother don't ; odd really ?

"lady drivers do tend to leave the front wheels facing the wrong direction when manouvring at low speed,"

Not if they've been taught properly.

Hi JP,this is from a earlyer post I put on,

I made one a bit like this one in the video but a bit cruder,I am now going to make another one from some stainless 1mm sheet,with a bubbler,I used a pickle jar,on a battery charger it drew just over 5 amps so not that much draw,I want one to draw about 10/12amps,my van normaly does26/28 mpg on a run,yesterday I had to go to boston,(linc`s)to collect a fridge for my son,I filled up at asda in nottingham,and had OH,my old mum& 2 grandkids with us and was going to make a day out for us all,we left Nott`m,swithed the HHO genny on with a switch I had resting on the dash,we went to bosten,then to Skegness(packed)and then to Mablethorpe (dead) and then back to nottingham,(switching the HHO jenny off when stopped),when I got back to nottingham,about 8.30pm I went back to Asda and filled up again,it took £31,so heres the calculation,£31 divided by £113.99 Ltr = 27.19 Ltrs,divided by 4.54 =5.99 gallons,206 miles trip divided by 5.99 gallons =34.39 Mpg overall,about an increase of 18/19% the vid is below is of the crude one I made,but I am now going to make one with all the other bits needed,look on the net and just google HHO and you will see a lot of Info.

there is also someone on the motorhome fact forum that it running one on a diesel van.and he has increased his MPG.

heres the video.

I don't think anything was wrong with the steering, James. As I said before I'm not very strong, and being used to power steering in practically every other vehicle I've driven in the past 20 years, I really struggled when manoeuvering at very low speeds. A 2.5 litre diesel lump under the bonnet makes the front very heavy and the steering wheel was quite big too. I did get a quote from somewhere for adding EPS, it was about £1,700, but in the end I went back to a caravan.

That HHO link made me laugh - why not check the plastic lid fitted the jar before doing all the modifications to it?  Looks interesting, but I don't think I'll try it on the cars I have now.
