HHO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) Is Hydrogen / HHO a SCAM? I hear a lot of debate about it.
HHO is NOT a scam, pure and frank. There are those in the industry ($4+ gas?) who have a huge incentive to keep us running on conventional fuels. Ask yourself a simple question. If you listen to television commercials the auto manufactures are BOASTING about 20-30MPG. You could find cars with this MPG in the 70's! HHO is VERY FLAMMABLE. People are experimenting with Hydrogen/Oxygen Torches and they burn right through bricks, it's hard to argue that the broken down water does not burn. People do report differences in their MPG gain. Carborator motors are the easiest to take full advantage of, then pre-OBD1 and OBD1 fuel injected vehicles. The trickest of vehicles to notice a substancial difference in milage are OBD2 (1996+ vehicles).. In order to take full advantage in a OBD2 vehicle, you may need a MAP/MAF controller or other computer piggyback's to notice the full gain.

2) What is a Clean Air Canister?
A Clean Air Canister is our device that generates a large amount of HHO gas. Clean Air Canisters is an evolving company that will be creating the best HHO gas generators on the market today. With our proprietary patent-pending nano-coating process, our generators are able to perform at their peak for gas output. The HHO gas is pulled into your engine air intake by running a fuel line or clear plastic tubing from the output of the HHO generator to the Air Filter case on your vehicle's engine. When HHO gas meets the air and fuel at the burn point the results are a cleaner burn with less waste of fuel giving you better performance, improved gas mileage and most importantly reduced emissions.

3) What is HHO Gas?
HHO is a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases, typically in a 2:1 molar ratio, the same proportion as water. A pure stoichiometric mixture is most easily obtained by water electrolysis, which uses an electric current to dissociate the water molecules:

Electrolysis: 2 H₂O → 2 H₂ + O₂

Combustion: 2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

Electrolysis that produce a combination of Hydrogen and oxygen we currently refer to as HHO. Other commonly referred names are brown's has, oxyhydrogen, hydroxy, green gas, di-hydroxy, watergas, and many other commercially coined names.

4) How does it work?
The HHO Gas is piped into the intake after the air filter, or into the intake manifold via a vacuum line. The HHO increases the burn velocity during the combustion cycle rather then a partial burn to end up in your exhaust. This allows for more of the fuel to react completely, which will provide an increase in combustion efficiency. HHO also allows gas to remain flammable at lean air and fuel ratios.

5) What is Potassium Hydroxide?
Potassium Hydroxide is a strong alkaline, also called Lye. It is caustic to the skin and eyes. Use rubber gloves and eye protection when handling it. Keep vinegar on hand to neutralize it. Use common sense and handle it with care.You can purchase Potassium Hydroxide from any local chemical supplier or online at www.thechemistrystore.com.

6) What is the Ammeter Gauge for?
The Ammeter gauge included with your Clean Air Canister lets you know how many amps you are pulling. The amount of amps shown on the Ammeter is determined by the amount of Electrolyte you put in. For best results only add enough electrolyte to generate 15 to 20 amps. Do not exceed 20 amps. The canisters require only a teaspoon of Electrolyte (potassium hydroxide) to get them started. Once you reach the right 'Amperage' reading you should not have to add electrolyte again for 3 or 4 top-offs of water and when you do you only add a couple of flakes. Running my car at 15 amps means I only need to check my water level every 200 miles or so and add electrolyte approximately every 600 miles.

7) Do I need to purchase additional items?
Yes, The Clean Air Canister is not sold as a complete kit. You will need to purchase the following items. Electrolyte, distilled water, 10 gauge braided wire positive and negative feeds and a 1/4 inch fuel line or plastic tubing. The amount of wire and tubing will be determined by where you install your Clean Air Canister. Look for a suitable place to install the unit you are planning to buy. Note the size and description on the model. Vehicles that do not have room in the engine compartment or a sealed trunk space may not be suitable. Trucks and RVs have more options.

8) Will it work with any type of fuel?
The Clean Air Canister is designed to work with vehicles burning gasoline, diesel, bio-diesel and ethanol. HHO supplementation will make any vehicle burning these fuels run more efficiently and with lower emissions. The fact that you are burning cleaner also means less oil changes and it may extend the life of your catalytic converter as well, now that you are doing it's job at the burn point and not after the fact. Your catalytic converter is designed to capture and burn wasted fuel. With your Clean Air Canister you get efficiency at the burn point so you save fuel. Your vehicle's computer should automatically adjust to the new air fuel mixture and you will notice a difference right from the minute you turn it on. I own a 1999 Toyota Camry XLE that has always been a great running car but when I installed my Clean Air Canister and turned it on I was amazed at how much smoother it was running and then driving it I noticed better performance right away. I also began to notice I didn't need to give it as much pedal. New driving habits form as you learn that when you reach your cruising speed you can back way off the gas pedal and still maintain your speed using less gas. Many people describe it like, my car feels like it's just floating along.

9) How much fuel will I save?
As much as 100% or more depend on vehicle driving conditions, vehicle fuel overrides (EFIE, MAP/MAF). The minimum gain we have noticed with proper modifications are 20%. Proper scanning tools can help you optimize and train your driving habits.

10) Will adding a Clean Air Canister to my vehicle void my warranty?
In all our research we have not found one case where that has happened. By adding HHO supplementation as a performance enhancer you are not changing anything that has anything to do with your warranty nor are you in any way tampering with your factory emissions system. But I still recommend checking with the company that insures your vehicle's warranty just to be sure. All companies are different and may have different requirements.

11) What type of guaranty comes with my Clean Air Canister?
A 30 day money back guaranty with no questions asked. If in any way you are dissatisfied with your purchase within 30 days send it back for a full refund. Clean Air Canisters makes no warranty and the buyer assumes all liability for all components, installation and and usage. I personally have no doubt in my mind that you will be thrilled with the performance of your clean Air Canister. I personally love the fact the they are clear and made out of a high temperature plastic and stainless steel electrodes that should last for years, they make a wonderful conversation piece to your family and friends to further the education and eventual growth of knowledge about HHO gas and its many uses. Lets make a better future our goal by putting value creating products into use.

12) How many liters per minute does the HHO canister produce?
This is subjective to if you have the canister connected to the engines vacuume line, the quantity and quality of your electrolyte, and the ambient temperature of the solution in the canister. Not all gas production is not created equal. Finer quality HHO gas burns faster and hotter thus creating a more efficient burn. Our units produce quality hydrogen / oxygen.

13) How long does the electrolyte last?
Potassium Hydroxide and Sodium Hydroxide produce the best HHO and should last a very long time. It is advised to change out the electrolyte every 3-4 months.

14) Can I use baking soda in my HHO booster?
NO! Baking soda turns caustic and is not the best electrolyte to be used. WILL PRODUCE BROWN SCUM!

15) What do I do in the winter or below freezing conditions?
Add denatured alcohol (20%) to the fuel cell to keep the unit from freezing. Continue to add more throughout the cold season.

16) Why is distilled water recommended?
Calcium and other minerals will build deposits on the plates and drop efficiency. Distilled water makes for a better electrolyte solution.

17) What Amp rating is recommended for the Clean Air Canister?
Limit the amp draw to 15 amps to keep the unit the coolest and generate the most hydrogen and oxygen gas possible for 15 amps. If you use too much electolyte, your canister will draw more then 20 amps, potentially boil the water out of the container or blow a fuse.

18) Do I need a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)?
No. Without a PWM, you are doing "brute-force" Electrolysis which still produce notible gains in performance and MPG. With a PWM, you can fine tune the unit and potentially create just as much HHO gas without drawing the amperage. With a PWM you have a little more control over the unit.

19) What is an EFIE (Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer/Extender)?
EFIE's allow you to lean or richen your fuel mixture by reporting how the fuel to air ratio in your exhaust. To find more EFIE documentation and if they will work for your vehicle, visit Fuelsaver's EFIE Documents Section

20) Do I need an EFIE (Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer) device for car to work with my HHO generator?

21) What sensors are different on an OBD1 vs OBD2 ECU/computer?

OBDI (OBD 1) MAP ECT IAT 02 Knock

OBDII (OBD 2) MAF MAP 02 or A/F sensors crank cam ect IAT Knock

22) Will a Clean Air Canister work on a diesel?
Yes, they clean up emissions exceptionally well and increase performance just like a regular car.
