HHO....running our BIRDS on water & diesel..anybody working this??or is it scam?

[Don Bradner]

I assume you are talking about water injection?

I've done a tiny amount of reading on the topic because we get a lot of
customers purchasing some of the items used - aquarium airline parts - in my
business. It was a big thing when unleaded fuels became standard, then dropped
off, and now is making a comeback. The early days it was because old engines
didn't like lower octanes, and now it is the search for economy.

Water effectively increases octane ratings. With diesel, we are concerned about
cetane. Effectively, cetane is the opposite of octane, so I would expect water
to lower cetane. In other words, water can improve the performance of a
high-compression gas engine, but likely would lower performance (perhaps
critically) of a diesel engine.
