Fuel from water - scfc_151
Just seen an advert in my local rag saying the following:

FUEL FROM WATER
Hydrogen diesel fuel enhancement
guaranteed 10-15% increased MPG and lower emissions
£85

I already know that if things sound too good to be true but does anybody know any more on this wether it works or not?

cheers

If it did work it would be fitted as standard on all diesel engined cars. Why is it only applicable to diesels? Ask for some technical detail from the seller and discuss it, first with your local Peugeot dealer and then with Trading Standards. In fact, save time and go straight to TS! Looking at the trouble you have had with your car lately I'd say you have tried this iidea and it doesn't work! Just Joking!

Seen this on ebay. One big scam - it's generating hydrogen by electrolysis but obviously requires power in for this, however getting more energy out than you put in would make this guy a billionaire - a con.

If it's the same info that was posted back in Nov 2007, then they have already done so ;o)

There's currently a big banner on a bridge over a local main road advertising the following website:

www.beat the pumps.co.uk (I've put spaces in so as not to give a link to the site)

This is their claim

" Do you want to know RIGHT NOW how YOU can drive around using WATER AS FUEL and LAUGH at RISING GAS COSTS, while at the same time REDUCE emissions and help PREVENT GLOBAL WARMING? While 100% "water cars" and "water trucks" are still on the drawing board,
I am very excited to show you how you can start RIGHT NOW and use Water4Gas to...
Convert Your Car/Truck to
BURN WATER as well as
Gasoline and DOUBLE
YOUR GAS MILEAGE!!! "


Double your gas mileage - anyone believe that?


Look at this load of carp

"When I was a child, my father was always telling me how impossible it was to get energy out of nothing. He was right - it's impossible to get it out of nothing - but the scientists "forgot" to tell him that water is not "nothing" - WATER IS A VERY POWERFUL FUEL. All you need is the right "match" to ignite it and...BANG! "


Dreadful stuff, it's being promoted heavily at the moment due to high oil prices.
