How to Troubleshoot a Hydrogen Gas Saver

Hydrogen gas savers have become a popular way of trying to help with the cost of gasoline. Some of them work better than others, and some cars respond better to them than others do. A hydrogen gas saver is easy to build and install, but it's not always easy to figure out what's wrong when it doesn't work.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Open the hood of your car and turn the ignition on to check the electrical system. If you see the water in the hydrogen gas saver cell, then you know the electrical system is working and you have enough baking soda or other electrolytes in the water. Move on to Step 3. If you don't see bubbles, go to Step 2.
2. Replace the fuse under the steering wheel if it's blown. Clean the steel plates or wires in the cell of any corrosion with some steel wool and check again. Add some electrolytes to the water and if that doesn't fix it, check to make sure the connectors for the electrical system are all in good shape.
3. Look at the hose releasing hydrogen and oxygen into the air intake. Make sure there are no constructions or blockages in the hose, and patch any holes. Look at the connections on either end, and if they're not secure, clamp them with hose clamps.
4. Check over any other adjustments you made when you installed the hydrogen gas saver. If the oxygen sensor thinks more oxygen is making it through your system, you might still be getting lousy gas mileage. You might have to find a way to trick it by messing up the sensor or rechipping the car's on board computer.
