Think it's a hydrogen fuel cell conversion kit ad.

Another snake oil offering. This company is just scamming. Looks like someone's convoluted, pseudo-science way of making water injection out to be much more than it really is. Remember water injection? Which BTW, actually does increase power and mileage slightly. But only slightly. There is scientific merit to it. Adding a mist of water to the air/fuel mixture cools the mixture, making it denser, resulting in a slightly more powerful explosion, which in turn is slightly more efficient. Several US auto manufacturers put water injection on select models from the factory in the '60s. But ultimately it was more problematic than beneficial. Pistons blowing out of the bottom of the block due to vapor lock was not a good thing.

Only install this gadget if you like paying for replacement engines Les, otherwise, save your money and just do the common sense things to save gas.

I think it is 185% alcohol that someone here makes and uses in his 2010 civic. I think he said he has to add 10% gasoline to it by law but the other 90% he makes with a homemade distillation unit. Sugar, yeast, and water is all he uses. Well his heating element to his unit is solar powered. I remember him saying all he needed was a new filter and a tune.
