Hydro 4000??? Any Mechanics out there?

Can this thing really do the trick? Claims it can turn your vehicle into a hydrogen-hybrid and save 60% on fuel costs.....I drive a lot, so if I really can, I might be interested. Just wondering if it is "too good to be true."

I am skeptical. If it's true every car will have one of these in the next year. In fact, I would support legislation to offer a government purchase for every vehicle and then mandate they MUST be on every vehicle produced.

Somehow I don't foresee that happening.

If your car is a a real gass gusler and it has a computerized injection it will improve UP TO 65%. On most cars it will imrptve your miliage just a little bit like 5%. It realy works but it is not likely to improve your gass miage moaar tha a few %. On a takn full you will probily get around 30 more miles.

Given that serious vehicle manufacturers are currently building hydrogen fueled prototype vehicles at a cost of several hundred thousand a piece, and have a massive issue to resolve, that being the total lack of refueling facilities. I doubt the answer can be found in a magic device, crudely assembled from scrap plastic pipe. PT Barnum said it well, there is a sucker born ever minute. Last time this question came up, the magic device was even more hilarious, a repainted portable welder with TWO magic scrap plastic "Hydrogen Generators" attached. I would try to get that one, it probably works twice as good.......

Back in the 50's they had a device that added water to your carburetor it added water to increase mileage all it did was put $$$$ in the inventors pocket.
