| So, you are thinking of using Hydrogen and
Oxygen as an additive to your gasoline engine, and you are wondering if you
need to invest in an EFIE device. That is not an easy question to answer. In the past, fuel savers would not work when
applied to fuel systems that use oxygen sensor feedback circuits. These systems
were designed to prevent efficient combustion, by lowering and controlling the air mixture
of the engine from 14.7 parts to 14.5 parts of air for each part of fuel!
This was done to reduce Carbon Monoxide and NOX emissions in the engines
exhaust, and to make your engine use more gas. The EPA then made auto
manufacturers add expensive Catalytic Converters to the exhaust systems in
order to get rid of the unburned fuel. To date, this is one of the biggest
Scams ever pulled on the public. We fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. To
beat all, it is computer controlled. If enough hydrocarbons are not measured
in the exhaust, the computer sends more gasoline. This is the number one
reason why most Fuel Saving Devices Do Not Work.
Increasing the combustion efficiency of the engine changes the percentage of
oxygen in the exhaust because the engine uses less fuel for the same volume
of air and the engine produces less carbon
monoxide and oxides of Nitrogen. Oh, we can't have that (so says the EPA).
The increased oxygen content in the exhaust is read by the computer to be
a lean mixture in the engine. As a result, the computer then adds extra fuel
to bring the pollution back to normal. In other words, when the computer
sees extra oxygen in the exhaust, it sends enough fuel to maintain a 14.5
parts air to 1 part fuel ratio. When the computer sees less oxygen in the
exhaust, it backs off on the fuel to maintain a 14.5 to 1 fuel ratio. The EFIE's function is to modify the oxygen sensor's output-signal
to the computer - by adding a
floating voltage; so the computer will not see the extra oxygen.
If you plan on using Hydrogen and Oxygen as an additive, one way or
another, the air fuel ration will have to be dealt with, if you want better
fuel mileage. Hydrogen as an additive works. Oxygen as an additive works.
They both provide better, more complete, combustion of the fuel. They both
decrease harmful exhaust emissions. Period. It is a proven fact.
It is the
computer controlled Emissions Control System that reverses the positive
benefits of HHO.
The EPA has been slowly passing tamper laws. It is unlawful to tamper
with the Emission Control Sensors. These laws are going to be enforced. But
there are no laws against reprogramming an Emissions Control System as long
as the EPA standards are met or improved. That is the reason I chose the
Volo Chip for my Ford modification. The chip replaces the ECM settings, in
order to change and maintain better Air Fuel mixtures, based on driving
conditions. If you have a 1996 through 2009 vehicle with an OBD-2
Emissions Control System, then the Volo is a good choice for a lot of
vehicles. If your vehicle is year 1987 through 1995, you probably have an
OBD-1 Emissions Control System. OBD-1 systems usually need an EFIE; but not
always. Some respond by injecting the HHO in front of the MAF sensor, so
that the HHO must pass through the MAF sensor (if they have a MAF). Some of these vehicles accept HHO without any changes,
just by resetting the computer; most do not. |
Tuning 101 AFR Control CenterIf you
want obtain the largest mileage gains possible...from any HHO Generator, you
must modify the signals from 4 sensor groups. Just doing the O2 Sensors,
with an EFIE, will not get it done on most vehicles.
This is the only product on the market that can get it done.

Warning about Eagle-Research's EFIE
(tylerdog111) One thing I
wanted to share with you since you are making recommendations on your site
is my experience with
www.eagle-research.com. I ordered a EFIE from them back in mid June and
2 weeks ago learned they don't have any product to ship so the delay
continued. I then learned they withdrew the money from my checking account
in June and I was blessed with an extra fee from my bank for doing business
out of the Country. That was a surprise to me since their address is
Oroville, WA. Seems they are masquerading as an American Company but doing
business out of the country. When I asked about all that, George said he
needed to move out of America so he could do his research/fuel saving
business. Well I think I'm coming to find out that being out of America and
in a foreign Country may be more a barrier for his business practices. Took
my money, no product to ship and it's been 2 weeks now and cant get a refund
and there is no response from the company. I filed a complaint against them
today hoping Visa can take the money from his future charges. I don't know
how they allow someone whose business practices are so bad to be able to
accept credit cards. Please warn the next sucker that they are such a part
time company that you only get one chance per month to catch them if there's
a problem and they get pretty pissed if you bug them. |
