HOW TO IMPROVE YOU GAS MILEAGE
WITH AN HHO GENERATOR
THE PROBLEM:
There is a very fast method of “proving” that an
HHO generator does not increase gas mileage.
Connect an HHO generator to your car's engine and
turn it on. There are two things you will observe for
most cars with computer controlled fuel injection
(which is most cars on the road today). Your
horsepower will increase and your gas mileage will
worsen. Your first reaction is that it doesn’t work
and you’ve wasted your money.
If this is as far as you have delved into the field, it is
a reasonable reaction. Because if all you do is the
above, you will get no other result. Anyone selling
you just an HHO generator to increase your gas
mileage is telling you a half truth and it will appear
to be an outright lie.
THE DATA:
So how do you increase your gas mileage? You
must reduce the amount of gas being pumped into
your engine. How do you do that? There are two
common ways to do this. Both have to do with the
oxygen sensor(s) of your car. (We’ll call it an O2
sensor in this article)
The O2 Sensor has two goals:
1. Help the engine run efficiently, but more
importantly
2. Maintains a low level of emissions.
When HHO is introduced, a cleaner burn of the fuel
occurs. The O2 sensor signal decreases with this
increase of oxygen. The computer adjusts the fuel
injectors to compensate for the "lean mixture" and
your gas mileage drops.
How do you get the computer to adjust to this new,
cleaner fuel?
THE SOLUTIONS:
Short of reprogramming the OBC, there are two
common methods to alter the O2 Sensor signal at
this time:
1. Alter the O2 sensor’s ability to analyze the
exhaust.

2. Alter the voltage signal from the O2 sensor
to the computer.
Altering the O2 Sensor:
A common method is to lift the O2 sensor out of
the exhaust stream, using an O2 Sensor extender.
Another method is to wrap the O2 Sensor with
aluminum foil. Both methods have limited
workability. There are also reports of the aluminum
foil "disappearing". Based on the heat and fast flow
of exhaust gases, this is not surprising.
Altering the O2 Sensor Signal Electronically:
The second and better method is accomplished
with an O2 Sensor voltage adjuster, also known as
an EFIE, Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer. The
EFIE is an electronic device placed between the O2
Sensor and computer. The EFIE is manually
adjusted to enforce a leaner mixture.
One of the benefits of an EFIE is that it can be on
the same electrical circuit as the HHO generator. If
you turn off your HHO Generator the O2 sensor
signal reverts back to its original operation. If you
lift your O2 Sensor, and stop running your
HHO Generator, you could run your car too lean
and possibly damage it.
It may be easier to take a short cut using extenders
or aluminum foil, but until a method is developed to
reprogram the OBC, an EFIE will give you the best
result.
Definitions:
HHO: A combustible gas produced by splitting water through
electrolysis
Oxygen Sensor: The O2 sensor’s function is to monitor the
chemical make up of the exhaust fumes and send a signal to
the on-board computer. The computer reads this voltage
signal and makes adjustments to maintain a 14.7 to 1 air to
gas mixture.
Emissions: Any waste substances released into the air or
water.
Lean Mixture: An air-gas mixture that contains more air than that
needed for complete combustion of the gas
OBC: On-board computer, which monitors and controls the engine
electronics.

A study by the California Institute of Technology, at its Jet
Propulsion Lab Pasadena, in 1974 concluded: The J.P.L. concept
has unquestionably demonstrated that the addition of small
quantities of gaseous hydrogen to the primary gasoline significantly
reduces CO and NOx exhaust emissions while improving engine
thermal efficiency.
University of Cassino, Italy: At the HYPOTHESIS Conference,
University of Cassino, Italy, June 26-29, 1995, a group of scientists
from the University of Birmingham, UK, presented a study about
hydrogen as a fraction of the fuel. In the abstract of that study it
stated: "Hydrogen, when used as a fractional additive at extreme
lean engine operation, yields benefits in improved combustion
stability and reduced nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon emissions."
Corrections Canada tested several systems and concluded, "The
hydrogen system is a valuable tool in helping Corrections Canada
meet the overall Green Plan by: reducing vehicle emissions down to

an acceptable level and meeting the stringent emissions standard set
out by California and British Columbia; reducing the amount of fuel
consumed by increased mileage."
