I was browsing the internet the other day and came across something that said you could save gas by converting your car to run on water and gas - saving over 40% on fuel costs.
Check out this link - anyone have any idea if this is legitimate? http://www.runyourcarwithwater.com/?hop=abletech |

Mythbusters did one on this, the listed system did not work. When they tried bottled Hydrogen it kinda worked but was less than safe for the engine.

I think the last car to run on water was a Stanley Steamer.Somewhere around 1918.
Ed F. The last car I had that burned water was my wifes 1992 Cougar 3.8 with the perverbial blown head gasket.Looked like a WWII destroyer setting down a smoke screen.

The Tornado worked in some cars. It was a propellor looking metal insert for the air inlet tube. I believe we picked up some 1-2 miles per on the highway...In an Impala. Did not work in Envoy 6 cylinder...

.........Actually in World War Two, some american fighter aircraft were equipped with water injection, to be used as an emergency short burst of power. during dogfights. most notably in the Pacific theatre. Wonder why no one ever tried that technology on a drag racing engine? Would not have to buy nitrous!!
