Save 30% of your fuel costs.

 Tim,

Adrian is right - please bare in mind that the figures published are all on a 5ltr V8. This is the same core system (hho). I have put a post up in the Alternative fuels (Quite surprised at some of the comments though!)

Taking fixwin38's above comment and by applying logic to his comment rather than debating on the grounds of facts; as this is lacking throughout by makers claims.

I am not disputing his comment, merely, applying a dose of logic.

For the benefit of those who may not be technically minded, the K-jetronic is a mechanical but ingenious fuel injection system devoid of any electronic sensors in the periphery to constantly calibrate and meter fuel and air into the combustion chamber.

The more modern electronic fuel injection systems employ a combination of the following sensors air temperature, coolant sensors, throttle valve position sensors, altitude sensors, oxygen sensors and ambient temperature sensors. Information from all these sensors is used to refine the quantity of fuel injected given the driving conditions and controlling emission levels to achieve the most optimum fuel metering that, is possible to programmed. The ECU makes continuous calibrations based on information received from all the sensors.

Fuel is a hydrocarbon element and the principle of some sensors is, to monitor hydrocarbon levels resulting in fuel metered in and oxygen and hydrocarbon elements to sense the efficiency of the combustion process. The more efficient the combustion, results in low oxygen and unburnt hydrocarbons levels.

Now, introducing Diesel fuel injection, this too is largely a mechanical injection system, a kin to the K-jetronic system. Brown gas kit makers claim this technology works on petrol and diesel vehicles, so my point on that front is if it works for diesels, then how come it has not worked on the K-jetronic? We are assuming here the unit is working. Reading installation, instruction manuals on these kits, I do get the impression that, the likely hood of failure is evident and a chapter is dedicated to address just this aspect.

I feel readers are missing the point here. I am not claiming to be right but presenting a unqualified view of my perspective. The small amount of this brown gas that enters the induction chamber somehow acts as a catalyst which supposedly changes the characteristic of fuel mixture to achieve more efficient combustion hence gain better fuel economy and reduced emissions. By Tim Carnell’s post, I believe, he mentioned a change in fuel octane being improved.

I have not as yet, read any scientific explanation on how this technology works only the result it claims. Thanks to fixwin38’s comment, he has thrown in a crumb for eats but I am waiting on the meat (with the bone)!
