Last year (2009) I bought a 2000 Nissan Frontier 4 cylinder 5 speed pickup with 72,000 actual miles in very good condition which at the time got 22 in town and 26 highway until I bought a stainless steel hydrogen generator from a man installed on my truck. Now I get 34mpg both city and highway even when its loaded down with camping gear going up steep mountain highways. The unit is controlled inside the cab with a switch and dial that has an amp meter so as not to burn out fuses. Later I had the Fuel Doctor installed and it only works when the hydrogen generator isn't turned on, but it only gives me 33mpg highway. So I figure my Frontier is now a hybrid. I was skeptical when I first had it installed, but after I rode in the man's Toyota sports car that had the hydrogen generator and it got 50mpg I bought a generator for myself at a cost of over one thousand dollars and it paid for its self within eight months. Has anyone else bought a hydrogen generator for their Nissan pickup truck?

I've always had my doubts about it.
From what I've read and heard about through friends, it would appear that the water would corrode the lines within 6-12 months and you would have to replace the lines, but if you don't have a problem doing that, I don't see why it would be a bad idea, at all. (lines meaning the lines that provide the h20 to the engine)

Water isn't being delivered to the motor, it's a HHO gas, basically a water molecule striped of one of it's Hyrdrogen atoms and then reattaches itself to the other hydrogen atom instead of the oxygen. The gas in itself causes no damage.

However, the thing I'm wondering about is the by product. After it's burned it does revert back to H20. While a motor is running it would keep the moisture from accumulating due to the heat, but once you stop the combustion process and the motor cools down, is there any moisture left to accumulate in the cylinders. And as most of us know standing water on steel doesn't end in nice results for motors. Which I do know there's aluminum pistons and blocks, but the blocks use a steel lining, and rings are usually made of steel as well.

I'm not completely sold on this idea yet. It works and is possible to give increases in mileage. Because essiantely you're just adding more fuel that burns with more efficiency. But I'd like to see a motor stripped down after 6 months of average driving, which is a small commute back forth. Then done again after a year.

It has several filters in the system which catches any water left over and you have to use only distilled water and one filter stops any water upon entering your engine and only lets in the hydrogen. The water is constantly being re-used and after so many thousand miles you have to drain the hydrogen generator and add new distilled water and a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda or a forth teaspoon of sodium chloride. I have gone ten thousand miles and now I have to drain the generator and put new water in it as my performance is dropping off. My brother built hydrogen generators in 1951 and installed them on his British cars and back in the thirties a few people on the east coast installed them on their own cars and I never heard of any problems of installing the generators and I personally have seen the inside of engines after using the generators, but found no water. Actually the hydrogen cleans your engine while you drive of carbon and therefore engines last longer. The ones sold over the internet are mostly inferior ones made of plastic or glass and aren't as good as the one I bought. And some sold over the net can cost upward of five grand or more and aren't as well constructed.

Hi I am looking to see if you had any problems with your HHO kit when fitted to your Frontier. Is it a diesel?
I have a friend who has not found any improvement in fuel savings.
