Frequently
Asked Questions
1
Is Hydrogen a safe fuel supplement?
Yes.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Combined
with the element Oxygen, it forms water H2O (2 elements of Hydrogen
and 1 Oxygen). Hydrogen is only dangerous when stored in large
quantities. Since Hydrogen is produced on demand in small quantities,
rather than stored, this is never a concern. Hydrogen is actually
safer than gasoline for two reasons; gasoline ignites at only
442 F degrees whereas it takes 1022 F degrees to ignite hydrogen.
Hydrogen is also the lightest element so it dissipates upward
rapidly, whereas gasoline is heavy and accumulates on the ground.
NASA uses hydrogen fuel for rocket propulsion as it produces more
energy per pound than any other fuel. Besides being a safer fuel
from explosion, it is also safer for people since it is non-toxic
and the air in our environment benefits by drastically reducing
the harmful unburned polluting gases released from your engine.
Hydrogen is inexpensive to produce and a renewable resource. With
all factors considered it is far safer than gasoline.
2
Will the electrolyzer work with any vehicle?
Yes.
The electrolyzer will work on any vehicle and any type of fuel,
besides gasoline carburetor or fuel injected vehicles, it will
also work with diesel, LPG, Natural Gas and even Bio fuels. For
older vehicles, it is recommended to get a full tune up before
installation and many have found their older vehicle is brought
back to new life with the added power of hydrogen with better
economy.
3
Will it pay for itself in fuel savings?
Yes.
With today's ever increasing gas prices you can count on hydrogen
supplementation to not only pay for itself but start to save you
a lot of money in the future. Our tests, as well as customer reports,
indicate a savings of at least 35% upwards to 75%. At a savings
of the minimum of 35% with a gasoline cost of $4.00 a gallon,
35% would save you $1.40 for each gallon you purchase. Therefore,
a hydrogen generator investment of $550 would have paid for itself
after 22 fill ups based on an average fuel tank size of 18 gallons
(392 gallons saving $1.40 on each gallon). After that, it is money
in your pocket on gas savings, not mentioning savings due to the
engine life increasing benefits of burning a cleaner fuel as well
as tax credit for installing a clean burning fuel device.
4
Is there a possibility of damage to my engine?
No.
Some people have concerns that rust caused by water vapor would
cause damage, when in fact the opposite is true. The hydrogen
supplementation actually reduces the water in the engine, which
is present even when running on gasoline alone, because it causes
a more complete burn of all fuels. Right now your car is being
damaged by the carbon deposits due to the very nature of gasoline
fuel not combusting completely.
5
How does this benefit my engine?
Supplementing
with hydrogen fuel has the effect of actively cleaning out your
engine every time you drive, cleaning built up carbon deposits
on the cylinder walls and valves like a steam cleaner. Over the
first few weeks you will notice that the engine becomes smoother
and more powerful. Gasoline has an efficiency of only 13%, whereas
hydrogen supplementation boosts your efficiency to 95%. You will
also notice your oil will be cleaner as well as your spark plugs.
It is well know that engine life practically doubles on engines
burning cleaner fuels such as Natural Gas and Propane. Hydrogen
is cleaner than both of these fuels.
6
Will installing this void my vehicles warranty?
No.
A properly installed unit is considered to be an aftermarket vehicle
part and is covered by the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act US Code
- Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312 Legally, a vehicle
manufacturer can not void the warranty on a vehicle due to an
aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part
caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson
Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)). If your vehicle manufacturer
fails to honor the warranty, contact the FTC at (202) 326-3128
or www.ftc.gov. Not a single
customer to date has improperly installed one of our units that
could in any way cause a failure to thier vehicle.
7
How does your system work?
The
hydrogen generator sends an electric charge through the water
into the electrolyzer, which causes the hydrogen molecules to
separate from the oxygen molecules in the water. The device then
sends the separated hydrogen and oxygen from the water in the
form of a gas into the engine via the air intake system. The presence
of the hydrogen then affects the combustion process of the gasoline,
helping it burn faster and more completely, giving you better
gas mileage, cleaner emissions and a cleaner, longer lasting engine.
8
Is installation easy or should a mechanic install it?
Yes.
Installation can be easy, even if you are not a car person. Installation
is safe and easy with our step by step manual. If you do not feel
comfortable installing it yourself, most mechanics charge an hour
labor charge on the average to do the install. To be safe, hand
him the manual to look at and have him bid on doing the job instead
of by the hour. Most customer self installation times average
about 1 to 2 hours max. To get an idea of what is involved check
out our Installation Overview Video and take a look at our Installation
Manual. You can see that it's not really that complicated.
9
What maintenance is required?
This
is what you will love about this system. Because so much hydrogen
fuel can be effectively derived from water and because hydrogen
is so powerful, you only need to add distilled water once a month.
Our system is built for simplicity using gravity feed, so no computers
or pumps to go bad.
10
Is there a freezing concern operating in cold climates?
Our
system operates very well in freezing weather conditions. As power
is applied to the electrolyzer, the water will start to thaw if
frozen and be fully functional after 5 minutes of driving. If
you live in a extreme cold climate, you can speed this process
up by either insulating the electrolyzer, or running copper tubing
around the electrolyzer to circulate the heated engine coolant.
A fuel heater will help improve mileage considerably if driving
in cold climates.
11
Is there a guarantee or warranty?
Yes.
Each hydrogen generator is made of high quality materials and
is thoroughly inspected and tested before it is sent out, so defects
are rare. You have to make sure your vehicle is tuned properly.
If you have installed the electrolyzer on your vehicle in accordance
with the instructions and do not see fuel savings and then you
have called customer service and followed their instructions and
still do not see fuel savings, then send the unit back to us within
30 days in clean working condition and we'll refund your purchase,
minus shipping and an added 15% restocking fee.
12
Do you offer technical and after sales support?
Yes.
You can contact us by email at support@driveonwater.com
and we will respond to you within 24 hours. Our support page will
answer practically any question you may have with step by step
detailed installation video and manual, along with several tips.
13
Is this eligible for government tax credit?
Yes.
Because these devices reduce the toxic emissions generated by
consumers and corporations alike, there are tax credits available.
Credits are issued under the Kyoto Accord and can be sold for
profit resulting in even faster return of your investment. The
following IRS publication http://www.irs.gov/publications/p535/ch12.html#d0e10094
states that you are allowed a limited deduction for the cost of
clean-fuel property and it's installation costs, that you place
into service listing Hydrogen as one of the clean-burning fuels.

Driveonwater FAQ ----------------------------------------
Why
Hydrogen?
It
has many advantages over conventional fuels: it is
non-toxic, it is renewable, clean to use, it's cheap, and it produces
much more energy per pound. Hydrogen is considered the fuel of
choice for energy-efficiency. Hydrogen has the
highest energy to weight ratio, NASA has used it as a rocket fuel
since the
1940's.
The
most common element in the universe, hydrogen has the
highest energy content per unit weight of any known fuel. Yet
it never occurs
by itself in nature - it always combines with other elements such
as oxygen
(for water) and carbon (for fossil fuels). Hydrogen
per unit is 3 times more powerful in energy produced than gasoline
and almost 4
times that of ethanol. When burnt in conjunction with Oxygen,
the resulting byproduct is water, H2O.
Once
separated, hydrogen is the ultimate clean energy carrier. It can
be non-polluting, is as safe as gasoline, and can be produced
on demand under the hood of your car for pennies a day.
Won't
introducing "steam" into my engine cause rust?
No.
For one thing, heat evaporates the water and also note, engines
produce "sweat" naturally and one of the by-products
of engine combustion is water. This is the reason you see moisture
escaping through the tail-pipe, particularly in the morning. Engines
are naturally protected from rust by the added lubricants in your
gasoline.
But
won't it damage my car?
Your
car is being damaged right now by unburned fuel! Our devices help
not only eliminate carbon deposits caused by unburned gasoline
- but will ACTIVELY clean out your engine every time you drive.
Over the first few weeks you will notice that the engine becomes
smoother and smoother. The engine will steam clean itself every
day.
Its
so simple!! Why haven't i heard of this before?
Good
question! Most people don't think of hydrogen as being something
that's safe, nor here today! It is a real mystery that vehicles
today get very little improvement over the first model T mileage!
Especially since "hydroboosting" has been around for
almost 100 years!
History
of Hydroboosters
In
1918, Charles H. Frazer received a patent for "hydro-booster"
He found out hydro boosters work best with low grade fuels.
Is
hydrogen safe? Didn't it cause the Hindenberg disaster?
In
general, hydrogen is neither more nor less inherently hazardous
than gasoline, propane, or methane.
As
for the Hindenburg, a recent study found the paint used on the
blimp's skin was to blame since it contained the same component
as rocket fuel. An electrical discharge ignited the skin. While
the hydrogen gas used to float the blimp did ignite, it burned
upward and away from the people on board and actually provided
a slow, safe descent for those who stayed on board.
With
this on demand system, all of the hydrogen that you produce is
immediately consumed by the engine, therefore there are no storage
methods, no compression tanks, nothing unsafe and out of the ordinary
for your regular car. The amount of hydrogen in one Electrolyzer
device is BILLIONS of times less than the amount that filled the
Hindenburg.
Would
this system void my warranty?
No.
See Title 15, Chapter 50, Sec. 2301-2312 of the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act *. (* -you may wish to consult a law office in your
state or province)
Does
the Electrolyzer come with a full money back guarantee?
Yes,
The Electrolyzer comes with a full money-back guarantee.
Every
Electrolyzer device is made of high quality materials and is thoroughly
inspected and tested before it is sent out, so defects will be
rare...
However,
should you find that the Electrolyzer does not perform for you
as claimed, we will refund your money. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOUR
VEHICLE IS TUNED PROPERLY. If you have installed the ELECTROLYZER
on your vehicle in accordance with the installation instructions
AND AFTER YOU HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FOLLOWED THEIR
INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU STILL DON'T HAVE any fuel savings, send the
unit back to us within 30 days in clean working condition and
we'll refund your purchase( minus shipping and a 15% restocking
fee).
Can
I install the Electrolyzer myself?
Even
if you are not a car person at all, the Electrolyzer is safe and
easy to install. In most cases it takes only about an hour with
standard home tools. The Electrolyzer comes with manuals to install
the device efficiently and easily.
You
can get someone else install it if you like. If you don't have
the time, nor patience, nor inclination, any mechanic can follow
our instructions and will usually charge about an hours time in
labor.
Will
the Electorlyzer work for any car?
Our
Electrolyzer will work for virtually any vehicle on the road.
In some cases, older vehicles are brought back to life again by
using the Electrolyzer, though with some older vehicles it is
recommended to get a FULL tune up before installation in order
to see the desired results.
What
else will the Electrolyzer do for my car?
Added
benefits to your car are that it keeps the engine oil cleaner
longer because of the lack of deposits. It keeps carbon from building
up in the combustion chamber and around the valves giving them
a longer life and better efficiency. This system also keeps engine
temperatures down by about 25 degrees Fahrenheit, keeps the O2
sensor clean, keeps the injector stems clean, and drastically
reduces emissions.
Fuel
efficiency is greatly increased. Drastically reduces unburned
fuels and harmful deposits. The cleaner and healthier your system
is, the longer you can expect it to last, and the better it will
run!
What
will the Electrolyzer do for my car
We
have boosted fuel mileage for cars and trucks, anywhere from 15
to 50% or more depending on your vehicle's condition, model, year,
etc. The average fuel mileage increase is 35%. We have also found
that vehicles will have more power and a smoother, calmer, colder
run. Differences can be noticed immediately by most drivers. Whether
you drive a diesel, carburetor, EFI, LPG, Natural gas, Bio-Fuels,
new car or old car, this system can work for you.
What
kind of maintenance should I expect?
Simply
add new water every 2 weeks! And enjoy better gas mileage and
cleaner air!
How
often do I have to fill up with more water?
Approximately
every two weeks, though this is dependent on how much you drive.
What
happens if the Electrolyzer run out of water?
At
that point nothing will occur, the device needs water in order
to pass the electricity, no water, no electricity. When the device
isn't working due to lack of water, your car will simply go back
to the same fuel economy it had before the device.
How
does the Electrolyzer work?
Very
simple. The unit sends an electric
charge through water and baking soda which causes the hydrogen
molecules to separate from the oxygen molecules in the water.
The device then sends the hydrogen and oxygen into the engine
via the air intake
system. The presence of the hydrogen then effects the combustion
process of the gasoline, helping it burn faster and more completely,
giving you better gas
mileage, cleaner emissions and a cleaner, longer lasting engine.
On
it's own, Gasoline is about 13% efficientcy on average when it
comes to actual power produced by the combustion process. Adding
an additional
fuel [Hydrogen] and oxydizer [Oxygen] (H+O=Hydroxyl Gas) causes
the inefficient
gasoline to burn at a rate of better than 95% efficiency. That
is what gives
you the increased performance and horsepower and cleaner emissions
from the
gasoline which is now being supplemented by the Hydroxy gas. It's
not the
Hydroxy gas, it's what the hydroxy gas does during the combustion
process to the gasoline.
