I've installed a Hydrogen Induction System on my truck! This system allows an additional 10-20% increase in fuel savings, reduced emissions, increases power, and reduces carbon buildup in the engine.
I installed this unit myself with just a drill and a few basic hand tools, I posted some pictures here to show how easy it can be to install and the best part aside from being a little more green, is you only need to add water to keep it working!

This will be installed on a CAT C-15 and I started with the intake tube pictured above.
|
The first step is to remove the clamps at each end of the intake and remove the tube.
|
The next step is to drill a hole where the nozzle will go with a 7/8" (22mm) hole saw.
|
|
Here's a look inside the air tube, the outside nozzle can point any direction, but the inside just needs to point in the direction of air flow.
|
Here's the air tube reinstalled and clamp tightened with the new nozzle in place.
|
Next attach the supplied hose to the new nozzle and tighten clamp, the other end of the hose will connect to the hydrogen unit.
|
|
I had a box already on my truck to put the hydrogen unit in, it needs to be protected from the weather and you can use a step box, storage area under sleeper, in the trunk of your car, in the passenger area or there is a custom box made for the unit you can buy.
|
Here is a 1" hole I drilled in the back of my box and supplied edge protector installed.
|
Here is the other end of the hose that came from the engine, I ran mine along the frame back to the box and pushed it into the box, try to keep the hose from having dips up and down so you don't create a drain trap effect that would prevent the hydrogen gasses from being pulled to the engine. The other hole in the pic. was drilled for the wire harness that will go to the battery.
|
|
The hydrogen unit comes with this chipboard that it's to sit on, I was concerned it might absorb water so I used a spray can to paint mine to help seal it.
|
Next is to run the wires to the battery, start at the hydrogen unit and feed the wire through the hole drilled in the box and use supplied zip ties to secure the wire.
|
These are great, just screw them on your battery post and use the supplied hardware to connect the wires to hot and ground.
|
|
Now install the switch, it goes on the alternator wire to measure current to the battery so the computer knows how much current to run to the hydrogen unit. You can place the switch at the alternator, at the battery, or anywhere in between as long as it goes around the wire.I removed the wire loom to expose the wire, no need to strip any of the wire insulation just put the switch around the wire. I also coated the metal parts of the switch with dielectric grease to keep it from corroding.
|
Here it is mounted in my box, there are two j-bolts that hold the unit in place and require a 9/32" hole to install. In the picture you see the one hose that came from the engine is attatched to one of the two ports on the hydrogen unit ( it doesn't matter which port you use) and the other port is used for the supplied air filter. You can also see the wiring harness that plugs into the unit.
|
This is the box I used, it's plenty big and gave me lots of room but you don't need anything this big. The hydrogen unit will fit in the step box under the door on a Peterbilt or trunk of your car, think about fuel savings when buying marine fuel or cutting cost on school buses or work trucks! Farm tractors, Combines and generators that run shop equipment and milk parlors can benefit from reduced operating cost.
