    Default Diesel Hydrogen-Boost System/Diesel Tractor Trailer

    I have been following this product for a while. The company claims to have lots of over the road Series 60 big rigs using his system with a routine savings of 15/20% without any other conservation measures, and up to 50% with other driving measures involved.

    When Diesel creeps over $5 which might happen this summer a $1.00 a gallon might look like a real savings.

    Love to have comments on this. Once you check out the equipment, and if any of you (Jon) feel its worth the investment and won't burn up the engines where would you install all of the needed equipment?

    Bruce, I think you hurt our feelings when you wrote "and if any of you (Jon)" We just need some time to get over it.

    I personally wouldn't add it to my bus until it was proven by Detroit to do what it says, or a reliable source (Jon) said it was ok.

    I figured Jon would knock it down, so I added his name. Why do you feel that Detroit should sign off, because of added heat from a cleaner burn??? More horsepower?? Damage?? What type of damage potential do you see here if any??

    I personally would be concerned about what appears to be a single guy, taking orders via a PayPal account.

    If it were that simple to make something like this, I would assume the DD people (and other engine manufactures) would be all over it. At best it might work. Most likely it would void any warranty, but worst case it could do irreparable damage to your motor.

    Maybe indeed it works, but I personally would be very hesitant.

    I'm sure it is not that simple, but he does claim to have customers using the system on Detroit series 60's. The unit is not cheap either, its $4K plus install unless one does it themselves. If it works its makes sense for those who run lots of miles and use lots of fuel.

    There are several products out now using this approach. In time I am sure one will catch on, and when it does it will sell very well.
