Big Jim asked:


The station went out of business in the 60’s and tanks were never removed. Should I be concerned? The owner of property dosn’t drink his own well water. He never told me why. I recently found out about the fuel tanks buried there. I’m drinking my well water and never had it tested.

I have heard about an easy system that you can use to convert any car into a gas/water hybrid. They say that 4 ounces of water every 100 miles will make your car twice as fuel efficient. They say that most people have not heard of it because the oil companies have been trying to silence this technology for as long as 50 years. Here is a website that has some of the guides on how to convert your car to run partially on water: http://www.squidoo.com/water-car-conversion-kits-fuel

Here are my questions:

1. Has anyone tried this and does it work? Or is it a scam?

2. How hard is it to convert your car?

3. Will it make your car more or less noisy? More or less powerfull?

4. Are there any ill effects on your engine (such as overheating or faster wear)?

Please cite your sources. I do not want this to be a pollitical debate. I am looking for facts on this process only, not opinions on the conspiracies of the oil companies, liberals making stuff up, or corrupt politicians.

l m asked:


i read that they run on two fuels at once in one chamber, and can burn on any certain amount of fuel

but how does this helping compared to regular vehicles?

also i didnt understand a paragraph i read online:

Both methanol and ethanol burn at lower temperatures than gasoline, and both are less volatile, making engine starting in cold weather more difficult. Using methanol as a fuel in spark ignition engines can offer an increased thermal efficiency and increased power output (as compared to gasoline) due to its high octane rating (114[1]) and high heat of vaporisation. However, its low energy content of 19.7 MJ/kg and stoichiometric air fuel ratio of 6.42:1 mean that fuel consumption (on volume or mass basis) will be higher than hydrocarbon fuels. The extra water produced also makes the charge rather wet (similar to hydrogen/oxygen combustion engines)and combined with the formation of acidic products during combustion, the wearing of valves, valveseats and cylinder might be higher than with hydrocarbon burning. Certain additives may be added to motor oil in order to neutralize these acids.

I watched a documentary on hydrogen cars, and am now very interested in the future of cars. Later, however i got into an intense argument with my dad about it; he’s a BIG skeptic. He said that because nothing is 100 percent energy efficient plus we can never truly create energy, simply by putting water into a car would never work! I argued that gasoline, by that logic, wouldn’t make cars run. He said that gasoline is made by enormous amount of energy and can therefore release that energy by simply lighting it. I understand that water, unlike gasoline, is not an energy carrier and to make energy carrier (hydrogen) from requires energy itself. so can hydrogen fuel cell really work?
