    I agree the tech is not ready for mainstream, but he's got it working for him. Too much maintenance for most, myself included. Wish I could get a refund. But it's guys like him tinkering around with it that might get it there someday. I'm glad he's doing it for his truck.

    It needs to made of stainless steel to withstand the elements, have a thermal sensor to shut it down if too hot and a low electrolyte sensor that would shut it down if the fluid was low along with the sensors connected with the motor ECM will need some kind of manual adjustment equipment to fine tune it to the changes the Hydrogen system is making added to the air and diesel mixture that would be over a lot of truck drivers heads including take a big chance of hurting the motor just tuning it for the hydrogen to make a difference in the mpg.

    This was my findings back in 2008 and I have not seen anything close to that specifically made for Class 8 diesel trucks.

    I think only O/O's like him will probably pursue it, as doing something simple as adding a tablet to fuel is too complicated for company drivers to do according to many fleet owners I speak to. Only an O/O will see the value in the effort. Company drivers (typically) could care less. No offense to company drivers, just what your bosses say.
