Good day all.
This topic was most probably been discussed on this forum or another, but would like your input on this.
I came across this on YouTube,

Do you guys think it will work on my 1KD-FTV (2013 Fortuner)?
Will the icu pick something funny up? Will the combustion chamber hold up with the extra heat? Injectors? Will the metal parts rust from Inside?
I sure hope to gain 2km/l more from this experiment, but does not benefit if I need to replace something expensive after a couple of weeks because of this experiment.
Please feel free by sharing any experience you have on this please.

Re: Hydrogen fuel cell experiment on 1KD-FTV
It's a con. Takes more energy to produce than it generates. It's not hydrogen either, it's HHO known as Brown's Gas. If it worked, all car manufacturers would be fitting to their vehicles as it would lower fuel consumption and emmission levels. This system has been around for way over 20yrs already, why don't we see 1000's of them in cars - - - - - - - because it's a con. Your choice, try it if you like, I'd be interested in your feedback

Re: Hydrogen fuel cell experiment on 1KD-FTV
I built a Browns gas generator and ran my KZTE on it for some time. There was a slight fuel consumption improvement but it is not worth the effort. It requires a lot of maintenance and TLC. And remember it is an explosive dangerous gas in the engine bay.
