Again, this is pretty much the worst case scenario with the whole "explosion" factor. It's not going to ignite and become some crazy hydrogen bomb though, if that's what you're looking for :p .
As for a power difference, I'm actually noticing a little increase! HHO gas is 3 times more potent than regular gasoline and has an octane rating of 150. That's a HUGE difference! This means that just a little of this gas produced could make the usage of gasoline a lot less for the same, if not more, power. That is why people are always advertising (or claiming like I am) around a 20-60% mpg increase as well as an HP increase.
I have only been able to go through two tank-fulls so far and here are my results:
Regular gas: 306 miles to a tank
E85 gas: 314 miles to a tank
E85 gas + HHO: 341 miles to a tank
Reular gas + HHO: 426 miles to a tank
*Please note that my driving conditions HAVE NOT changed! I drive the same way almost all the time. I was sure to be treating my HHO experimentation as I would normal gas or E85 for best comparable results.*
I guess the reason why my HHO kit is not liking being mixed with ethanol is because e85 has an octane rating of 105 so I have to re-tune everything I guess. This gives you more power and better burning, as well as cleaning out your engine while it burns. More on ethanol can be forund on my thread about e85 conversion kits.
Just wondering did you install the bubbler,flame arrestor or the check valve for safety purpose.
And how to hook hook up the MAP Map Sensor Enhancer.
And the O2 sensor did you put the extender on it???
Because i just bought a same kit from ebay before i read this post.
I'm driving a 99 solara SLE V6...
Thanks a lot...
