Frequently Asked Questions
Below are frequently asked questions and our answers to help understand your order. Q. Can I use this on a PETROL engined car? A. Yes.
Q. Can I use this on a DIESEL car? A. Yes.
Q. Can I use this with Bio DIESEL? A. Yes.
Q. Can I fit a Hydrogen Generator to my diesel engined Narrow boat? A. Yes. And it will be greener to run on the water ways and canals.
Q. Can I fit this to my van that has a diesel 2.5 L engine ? A. Yes. No Problem.
Q. Can this be fitted to my 200TDi Land Rover. A. Yes, no problem.
Q. What is the difference between The Series 5, The Nano Star, The Red Giant? A. The Nano Star is much smaller and can fit in more easily under bonnet spaces 2.0L Diesel, 3.0L Petrol and is designed to have the water resevior separately positioned to assist small space installation. The Red Giant has a much higher gas production output, so it will increase savings on the above sized engines and be more applicable where more gas is required on larger V8 and V6 engined vehicles, or vans that run at motorway speeds all day or use more heavy throttle due to payloads.
Q. What size is it and where do I fit it on my car? A. The Nano Star is 101mm wide, 183mm tall and 85mm thick, and the Red Giant is 190mm wide, 202mm tall, 124mm thick. It can be fitted under the bonnet must be away from heat. It can be in the boot or pick-up area. The leads and pipes would need to be made longer by your installer mechanic or purchase the boot mount kit in our shop. The installation kit includes plently of items and cable length for a typical under bonnet fit, the boot mount kit has additional pipe and cables.
Q. How much current does it draw? A. You can run these from very low amps to a max of 30. However it is designed and recommended to stay within the limits of 10 to 15 amps since our new generators run lower amperage with even higher gas output. A typical alternator puts out 60 to 90 amps so it is only like having the heated rear window on when driving. The current draw is dependent on the amount of catalyst ( the cheap powdered chemical) you put in. Hence in the instructions we give details on how to do this for the first fill up to get it right.
A. No, our unit simply 'bolts on', no modification to your engine is needed in the way of valves or head alterations. The addition of an oxygen sensor enhancer is an option to gain the max fuel saving on younger vehicles. Some have one before the cat in the exhaust, some have one after it as well. In which case you can fit two enhancers to control the fuel enrichment so it does not overfuel with all the extra oxygen it will read in the exhaust gases.
A. Our unit only produces a very small amount of gas while it’s operating, we also have encorperated a 'bubbler' unit which also acts as a flame trap in the event of a back fire from your engine. The hydrogen is not pressurised and we have done destructive tests, the filler cap 'pops' off. The unit did not explode. Remember it is full of water, but dont stick a lighted match inside it when its running! it WILL go BANG, treat it with due care.
A. The gas is produced only while the engine is running, the engine sucks in the right amount of gas when it needs it. The higher the revs the less economical the engine will be, just the same as normal use of petrol or diesel. Drive with light throttle use in the correct gear for best economy. A. Yes, our unit enhances your engine's combustion process no matter what the fuel, BioFuel, Diesel, Petrol and LPG. We have yet to have results to post on LPG savings.
A. No, Hydrogen burns at a lower temperature than petrol so it actually lowers operating engine temperature.
Q. How much water/solution does it use? A. Our unit holds approximately 2 litres. It uses hardly any at all, around 50 -200ml a week, about a mug of water, (subject to mileage usage) so you simply top it up with distilled water. Full instructions are supplied with the Generator.
A. All systems are warrantied for 12 months (subject to T & C's) if installed and used correctly. All Hydrogen Generators will need to be posted back for inspection and repair under warranty. The return postage is not covered but the post to you is included, some island and overseas exceptions.
Q. What if I need spare parts? A. They can all be ordered individually from us. Some items are sub components and supplied as such for your convenience. An exchange repair service is offered.
