    God thats the answer to all my prayers:eek:, Just give me a minute to write down all my bank details on a piece of paper and post it on the internet so they can find it...............oh but wait a litre of bottled water is actually more expensive than a Litre of petrol:confused:

    If it ain't endorsed by a recently deceased Nigerian monarch, I ain't buying.

    Apparently if you pour water directly into your tank at a 70% diesel to 30% water mix there is no need for this conversion kit. :D

    If you google enough you can find some articles on the web giving more detailed information on this stuff. Basically it involves generating what they call HHO gas (or oxyhydrogen) by electrolysing water. For a start this 'revolutionary' HHO 'gas' is already well known technology (i.e. hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio, the same as water) and is used in certain applications for high temperature torches.

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HHO_Gas

    The problem is though, where do you get the energy from to electrolyse the water into HHO-gas in the first place? And why not just use the electricity straight away to drive the car, instead of going through another un-needed conversion process? As the above article says ...
    Oxyhydrogen is often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to increase automotive engine efficiency. See water-fuelled car

    Many of these claims, prima facie, violate the Law of conservation of energy. See Conservation of energy and Electrolysis of water:Efficiency. To date, none of these claims have been proven, and most have been fraudulent.

    Think the energy to electrolyse the water into HHO comes from the cars battery :D
