HHO Conversion Instructions

HHO conversion instructions get better and better. Manuals now are so good that even a technical imbecile like me has been able to build and fit a dozen HHO kits in cars and trucks for family and friends.

A guide to the best instructions available is to be found at AUTO HELP.

One of the great things about HHO conversion is that works equally well on gas and diesel vehicles. No-one is excluded from saving mega-bucks on gas. As stated, HHO conversion instructions are easy to come by and well set out nowadays. The benefits are 15% to 50% savings on gas, $2,000 back from the IRS, less pollution and a longer lasting engine.

The Basics of HHO Conversion Instructions

Apart from some electrical wire and hose, the critical elements of HHO car conversion are an electronic control unit, an HHO generator and a vaporiser. The entire system should cost no more than $150.

The vaporiser is very straightforward. It simply sits between the HHO generator and the vehicle’s carburetor. It is there to avoid any vapor entering the engine and thereby protects it. The cost should be around $10.

The electronic control unit can be placed wherever you like. Most people mount it on or below the dashboard for easy access and monitoring. Other folk stash it out of site in the engine well. They can be as sophisticated as you like. Some simply show the amps travelling through the water in the HHO generator and should allow you to regulate it. Others can be more sophisticated, giving you an idea of what mile per gallon you are achieving. Anticipate spending between $15 and $40.

The HHO generator is where all the action takes place. An electrode (or catalyst) is placed inside CPVC housing or similar. The housing, or casing, should be resistant to high temperatures, which is why CPVC is ideal. The electrode can be formed from a number of metals. The most common are stainless steel and platinum. Think about $50 to $80 for this component. You need to do your own research, via your manual, about whether you want a coil or flat catalyst.

Apart from your own personal preference regarding the electronic control unit, everything can be fitted into the car well of almost any vehicle. It is important to make the generator as accessible as possible because it will need replenishing with water every couple of hundred miles and will also need cleaning each two to three months. It should be easily detachable and cleaning should take no more than a couple of minutes.

HHO Conversion Instructions Manuals

HHO conversion manuals are easily obtained via the internet. Most are downloads and cost between $50 and $80. I actually found the downloads better than a bound book because it gave me the option to focus on the most relevant pages while doing my own conversions. Whether they are in color or not makes little practical difference.

Manuals on how to effect your own HHO conversion do vary in quality, but most are fine. All of them should have detailed instructions, good diagrams and a background explanation of the concepts of HHO technology.
