Use an hho cell to clean carbon from engine, will this improve my fuel mileage? any one challenge this idea?

Question

i recently built a hho cell from scratch, and metacafe videos. i hooked it up to my truck for about 45 min, in my driveway. there was alot of carbon blackened water coming out of my exhaust. i unhooked it, and drove to work. usually it takes me 1/4 tank of gas to drive to work and back. now i get that plus half another trip. i believe because the hho cleaned c**p out of my engine that has been costing me fuel consumption. everyone who has trouble with these things, leave them hooked up and drive with them, what do you think?

Answer 1

Water methonal injection is better at carbon,diesels too.

Answer 2

leave the HHO on. that's good to hear of the improvement and that it may have cleaned your engine.

Answer 3

You didn’t say what year truck you have or if it has a carburetor, but all you did was steam clean the inside of the engine and exhaust. A long time ago before fuel injectors, carbon was a bigger problem then it is now, a properly functioning fuel injector system rarely has a carbon problem, back then an engine would carbon up. You might see a decrease in performance, or the need to use high octane fuel, or run on, back in the day the old timers would use a little bit of water to bust up the carbon you’d see a lot of black smoke coming out of the exhaust, but you had to be very careful when you did this a little too much water and you could hydro-lock the engine, read boom, you just bought a new engine.

You might have cleaned out the gunk, but more likely you’ve change the way you drive and you might not even be aware you did it. The HHO fuel cell is a con, yes I can PROVE it, AAA proved it, etc. Back in the day they did some test where they would show a driver a device with wires and hoses coming out of it and they told the driver it would give them better fuel mileage and a lot of people did report better mileage, the only problem was the device wasn’t hooked up to anything, they changed the way they drove. Even though they weren’t aware of it.

Answer 4

From all that I have read but never seen yes it will improve your miles per gallon

And it does reduce the emission a little with only a drop of water out the eshause pipe

.. . ..

That made me wonder how long will an exhaust system last till it is rusted out and has to be replaced?

.. . ..

Never heard or read anything on this

little destruction drop of water

-------  "inside the engine" -------

Metal and water you know doesn't like each other unless it is some light weight metal and then they will cause an electrical reaction to each other in any case that is why some metals are coated with zinc.

Answer 5

You may have damaged your engine.  The black smoke is because your engine is running rich.  Hey, if you believe it, go to the link.

Its a fraud and a scam, I hope you didn't lose to much money on it!

Answer 6

I'll bet he never looked at what came out of his exhaust pipe before he started fooling with "HHO."  Every car blows out a little blackened water when the exhaust system is still cold.  After that, the water comes out in the form of steam.  You get a lot of water, plus a certain amount of elemental (black) carbon when you burn any hydrocarbon.  

I suppose that in its own way the "HHO" silliness is serving as an educational experience: people who had no idea where the engine is are starting to look under the hood.
