Water4Gas
 
...with the rising cost of fuel, has anyone tried this water for gas kit or something similar? Does it really work on diesel and gas engines or just another scam????
appreciate any feedback.

Obviously a scam

Your engine was designed to run on oil. Water is the opposite of oil therefore it doesn't work. If everything was so easy then there would be no need for fuel.

If cars ran on water the price of water would increase. Realistically everyone would use tap water at home and considering a very small fraction of water is fresh water that would cause water prices to go up. Peoplewould die without water (considering they (you)can't afford it), the ground will turn into a desert since too much water is being sucked out of the ground, that would causestarvation since the ground isn't able to grow things on.

Water injection can help mpg but it is not a large amount thou. Water vapors will add Oxygen to the cylinders and the steam from the combustion will clean the valves and sensors "some". Hydrogen from water kits most on e-bay are scams. Yes you can make hydrogen and burn it, but as stated above energy is not created or destroyed just changes form, and heat is a energy.
To AMG if you convert H2O to hydrogen two parts and 1 part oxygen and burn the hydrogen. The byproduct from burning itis water so no water would be lost maybe contaminated but not lost

No it doesn't. The most water vapor will do is rust the non aluminum parts and the exhaust system. When water is injected in and dillutes the diesel fuel, the engine will not operate properly. Diesel by itself cleans the engine more or less depending on which brand being used.

When it's going out the tailpipe yes there will be lost water. Again, if it were so easy to do something like that (collect the water coming out, break it down into fuel, use it, thencollect the watercoming outand so on) we wouldn't be using fuel

But if you are right and people start pouring water in the fuel tank to get some of those water vapors in the engine and saves people some cash I'll give you a thumbs up for a revolutionary idea
