High Gas Prices are beginning to Pinch Your Wallet.  Learn If Water for Fuel is Real.

Water for Fuel... Is It Real?

Many folks want to know if it is possible to use water as fuel for their car or truck.  The answer is that water can be broken down into a hydrogen gas that can be used as a fuel for an engine.  Water can also be heated to produce steam that can drive an engine and many other devices, but it is not steam power that we'll review here.  Let's look at the use of hydrogen.

It is important to know that hydrogen gas derived from water is currently only available as a supplemental fuel for an engine.  That means that a car or truck engine that runs on 100% water is not yet available. It does appear that the Japanese are advancing the technology to use water as a fuel, but it is still in the early stages of development.  See this video from Reuters about the Japanese H20 Car development.

The Japanese company with the H2O car is called Genepax.  They seem to have disappeared, so that should be a cautionary indicator for us all.

WATER AS A FUEL

Using water as a fuel to power engines currently means breaking water apart using electrolysis to produce a hydrogen gas that can be fed into the engine.  To answer the question, "Water for fuel... is it real?", the answer is it is real in the sense that water can be coverted into a hyrodgen gas, but it is not real in the sense that the technology can increase the miles per gallon of your car or truck. 

You need to understand what water for fuel means, and what it does not mean. We need to know if water derived hydrogen gas is efficient or meaningful as a fuel source. We'll explore that question as we review the products and technology. 

The products on the market today suggest that hydrogen gas derived from water is not yet a complete replacement to the use of gasoline or diesel fuel.  The products on the market today suggest increased MPG by installing their technology.  Those are wonderful and amazing claims.  Unfortunately, the claimed ability to deliver improved mpg seems most unlikely.  As the technology to use water advances that will likely become nearer and nearer to possible, but for now, in 2009, not yet. 

The best that apparantly can be done, based on the reviewed product claims, is to produce a fuel supplement in the form of a hydrogen gas. Again, we do not believe it is possible to improve your MPG from this process, as is presented on so many water for fuel web sites and articles.

Can I Just Mix Water Into My Gas Tank and Have This Work?

Just to be sure, you should never think that this means you can just add water into your fuel tank directly, mixing water and gasoline. Do not do that. That will damage your engine and cost you plenty in repairs.  If you want to understand what it means when you read about using water for fuel, read on.  But remember, never add water directly to your fuel tank. That is not what folks mean when they talk about, or write about, using water for fuel.

Where Else Does This Technology Work?

The technology for using water as an energy source is advancing. Take a look at this short six minute video from the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show.  There are a variety of applications for the technology and techniques.

As in many areas, there are sometimes exaggerations of capabilities and results.  If you spend time learning about the subject of using water as a fuel source you will come across examples of claims that proved to be false.  An example of that seems to be Stanley Meyer's water fuel cell.

Converting Your Engine to Use Water Fuel for Power

You may be thinking that it sounds great that water can be used to produce a gas that can power an engine but how does that help you with your car or truck?  The answer from a number of providers of information on the technology is that there are water to fuel conversion kits that you can install, or have installed, that will make it work for you. 

We've reviewed some of the leading water for fuel products and "how to" manuals.  We provide you the results of that review.  We hope our review helps you better understand what is being claimed, the process, the technology and the conversion mechanics.  We do not believe these products can actually improve your car or truck's gas mileage.

The books are not very expensive, usually around $49, sometimes a bit more. We recommend these products be purchased only for entertainment purposes. Each product comes with a return guarantee. That means if you buy it you can get your money back. That is important.

Let's cut to the chase.  Check out the Water Fuel Products Review for the results.

Caveat Emptor

New technology comes to market all the time that changes our lives for the better.  But we all need to carefully consider the claims made by promoters. Especially in the case of new technology that sounds marvelous and unbelievable.  Take a careful read of the products we review and see if one appears feasible to you.  It is not a big cost to buy one of these manuals, but you need to determine if the product really does what it claims.

We'll look at a few of the leading products on the market and also present articles written by folks who claim to have installed and used the technology.  We would love to hear from you if you have tried these products.  Post a comment to one of our blog posts or enter the WFR forum. We want to know your experience and results.  We'll publish results that seem well documented in the hopes that it will benefit other readers considering the use of water for fuel technology.

Imagine Using Water to Power Your Car!  This Is A Dream - Learn Why
by Peyton Randulf

Today, in mid 2008, there are an increasing number of books and web sites dedicated to the idea that anyone can use water to boost the miles per gallon of their car or truck. You know that the increasing price you pay at the pump is painful. You would like to find a way to stop spending so much money on gas or diesel fuel. Before you go ahead and pay $49 for some book with a secret technology for using water to improve your gas mileage you need to know some important facts. You don't want to waste your time or your money, do you? You need that money to pay for that expensive gas, right?

The idea of using water for gas means one of two things. Water can be broken down by the use of an electric current to produce a hydrogen gas to burn directly, or a hydrogen gas can be used in a chemical reaction to create an electric current to drive an engine. Most of the books and web sites on the market today are about using hydrogen gas as a fuel supplement to increase the mpg of your car or truck. Should you spend $49 for the book and then another $100 or $200 or more to modify your car engine? You would be a chump to jump right in and believe all the hype.

Let's do a quick calculation. Let's say you drive 20,000 miles per year and average 20 mpg. That means you use 1,000 gallons of gas each year. If you pay $4.00 per gallon, you are spending $4,000 per year on gas, or about $334 each month on gas. If you reduce your gas need by 20% you would be saving yourself about $800 each year or $67 each month. Wouldn't that be great! You actually can get that sort of mpg improvement, but it is not how you might think.

Before you let blind desperation drive you to buy some $49 ebook about using water for fuel, you need to learn the truth. What works and what is wishful thinking? Don't spend ANY money on a book about using water for fuel before you do this. There can be scams and untruths put out there to catch people who are desperate and uniformed. Don't let yourself be either. Get informed.
