 I came across this video while trolling around Youtube and thought it too good not to put up here. Although it will give you a laugh I think the truth behind it is all too real! Check it out.

 We finally have some results! 

 My aim was to test the Water 4 Gas system in a practical way that would mimic how it would be used by everyday drivers. As a number of people have pointed out the theory behind the system may well be fundamentally flawed however I don’t have the knowledge to even comment on this and chose to test it from a purely practical viewpoint.

 So what is now yesterday (Friday) the fuel light came on for the first time with this tank of fuel (and subsequently went off when I was about to take the photo!) and this is what we got.

 462 Kilometres from 55.9 Litres of fuel. You might remember our benchmark was 423 Kilometres without the Water 4 Gas system installed. Can this increase of 39 Kilometres be attributed to the system alone? I would love to be able to answer that question. Certainly the driving habits of my wife, who drives the car 99% of the time, haven’t changed that much in the last week and a half - either flat out or stopped!

 The driving was done in the same conditions as before with Belinda using the car mostly for work of a night and a couple of trips to the day care centre and back during the day and of course the odd trip to the shops. If I had spent more time in the car I could have put it down to the fact that I was aware of what we were testing and taken it a bit easier but I don’t feel that twenty-odd kilometres of driving is going to make that much difference. Maybe I’m wrong but I plan on testing this long-term so future tests might reveal more about what is actually going on.

 As for the ’system’ we have running, basically it comprises of a single ‘cell’ made to the specs. in the Water 4 Gas downloads. I went with the basic system for a start just to get an idea of whether or not it was worth pursuing and given these initial results I am curious to expand on it and see what happens.

 To summarize our test results:-

Distance Travelled -  462.2 Kilometres (287.07 Miles) Fuel Used - 55.9 Litres (14.76 U.S. Gallons) Average Consumption - 12.09 Litres/100km (19.44 Miles Per Gallon) Up From 13.19 Litres/100km (17.82 Miles Per Gallon)

 To answer the question, is this a money saver or scam, I have to say that the initial test results are looking positive. From the information on the Water 4 Gas site there is still plenty that we can do to improve on the system such as fitting more than one “cell” so it should be remembered that this test was done with only the very basics in place.

 I understand that the ’science’ behind these systems is a bit vague to say the least and is a very hotly debated topic even on this blog however I think that we did achieve what we set out to do with this test and that was to put all theory aside for a moment and test it in a practical way.

 Once again I am sure this post will attract it’s fair share of comments, both negative and positive and I ask one thing, that the language be kept clean and keep the comments on topic. This site is read by people of all ages. Cheers.

Our full Water 4 Gas story begins here.

 While taking the young fella to school this morning (it’s really just day-care but his big brother goes to school so as far as he’s concerned it is school!) the fuel light came on so we stopped for a wallet lightening.

 I dumped in 55.9 Litres and reset the trip meter so the test has begun. The car still feels like it is pulling stronger and the idle quality has improved, I’m still skeptical though as to what mileage improvements will be made. Only time will tell.

Details of the second fill-up - 55.9 Litres at 237,960km’s.
