    Very true. If I knew I could get by with a engine swap that I really want I would do it. But the engine I want wasn't produced for my car at all.I use to have a 71 Buick Skylark with a Chevy I6 292ci one of the best engines made and great gas mileage too. But it would not pass visual inspection here for emissions.

    It makes you wonder why we only get our really good ideas once we're too old to use them for another 40 years. Job managed to live 147 years. 7 more than Abraham. Abie had his first son when his wife was 84. The old bugger must have been in good shape to play soccer with him. Got do more excersise. I wanna laugh at the SOB's when this gets out. Public Domain! YES!!!

    And some gold-digger will try to flog a booklet on 'Secrets to Free Fuel'. Heck just join up to this forum, and read on. ;)

    Sucks, don't it!

    The gals have it right, you know. In college, back in the early 70's, the Women's movement was going through the hippie craze. Well, between classes, the gals would stand outside and do breast excersises 'We must, we must develop our bust" etc. and if a guy stared, other than the graduating class (like me, jejeje!) these chickies would call the rookies everything over and under the sun! Us grad guys were safe. I guess they were our 'private dancers' :evilsmile::biglaugh:

    Anyway, they keep in shape. They can't beat gravity, but they outlive us. They've got the right idea. They take better care of themselves.

    That really sucks. The legislation is wrong when a person can't use a more efficient engine than the one in their car. :(

    In Stefan's province, Quebec, the license plate slogan is "Je Me Souviens", in English it means "I remember it well" Or "I recall fondly". You'd think they're talking about Quebec's heritage, but I think the politicians had those 1960's and '70's days in mind. Quebec gals are fine-lookin' ladies. yummy, in fact. :D

    Since we've had high wind 70% of the days this spring I was thinking of erecting a sale on my Ranger. Many days we get the wind from the north and tacking would be discouraged on the street I think. The local gendarme would really frown on it. However going home after work would be nice. (south). Of course most days it's from the west. Hard on the left tires I would think.:D

    Really, do know anyone using this stuff? You have to wonder if this is so effective why doesn't everyone have it? I wish you'd do this and evaluate whether it's a good deal or not.

    Yeah, I do. A few trucker friends with big Highway Volvo Rigs are running small ones on their rigs and saving 15% on fuel. They've been running them as a test since 1999. Back then the company priced them at $4,000. like the $267 units on that savefuel page. I wondered if that was the same company, actually.

    It does work well on engines with low compression and the diesels.

    What I got from that page is the better Stainless quality. A lot of sites were using the 304 grade alloy. These guys are using the 316 grade - more nickel means more magnetism, means more efficient magnetic electrolysis. Less load on the charging system. The other was the clean up cycle depends on the container size - larger equals less frequent.

    The electrode sheets (also 316 SS) are perforated and separated with nylon or other washers (SS), and kind of laid out like concentric cylinders, or wafer cookies. The rest is wiring and vacuum lines. and they used a vacuum/pressure gauge to see the volume of HH gas to get a handle on fuel volume generation/usage. Pretty respectable setup, IMO.

    I hope to have the basic system setup by August.
