TundraGeneral discussion forum for the 2007 and later Toyota Tundra.
This is a discussion thread titled "Get better fuel mileage guaranteed", within the Tundra forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
so since we are debunking this technology, is anyone going to debunk the HHO devices?
Heck no. . . I have a "perpetual motion machine" that I've been working on in my workshop. Hook it up between your battery and a container of water and it recharges your battery which you can use to run an electric motor which you can hook up to your alternator, which you then won't have to attach to your fanbelt, and without the drag of the alternator, you will get like 35 more HP and gain at least 3-4 MPG.
Send cash only please.

ROFL!!
I was actually paid by a guy a few years back that was trying to patent a perpetual motion thing like you describe (battery-motor-generator on a bicycle). I couldn't believe I was the first person, after friends and lawyers had been encouraging him, to tell him STOP WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY! I had to explain about conservation of energy and such, which he had ignored in all his "research". I gave him back his fee since I felt sorry for the guy.
I installed theFitch Fuel Catalyst on my tundra about 3 weeks ago. Very easy to install. I checked my fuel consumption rate on two tanks of gas driving the same route everyday at the speed limit. I was getting on avg. 14.3 Mpg. I then installed my Fitch Fuel Catalyst. Drove the same route each day at the speed limit for two full tanks. 16.2 Mpg! Wow! It really works. I was very skeptical, but I saw the product on horsepower TV on spike. They tested it on the dyno on a corvette engine. It showed the fuel consumption decreased and power increased on the dyno. For a $200 its well worth the investment. Check them out!
Whats the big deal. I get between 16-17 without it. Why would I spend $200 to get what I am getting.
It is not made to get you around 17 it is made to help you achieve higher mpg's than you are getting right now...since he jumped 2 maybe you'll end up getting 19??? who knows...

If this worked Toyota would have already installed it on our trucks. No aftermarket fuel savers have ever worked. Oops, I forgot one that did. In the 70s there was a device that disconnected the AC compressor when you were accelerating. Today all vehicles, with AC, have the same thing.

Actually, that's not quite true. If you spend around $7,000 (the only semi-legitimate quote I've heard) you can get propane tanks, a fuel system, a new computer, and drilled out intake manifold ports, and some other stuff I forget, and you'll save gasoline. You will have to buy propane, though, and I haven't heard if they have the system for the new Tundra

Yes, but unless those systems have become way more efficient recently, all through the years various engines running on propane got about 3 MPG less than it would on gasoline.
Rereading your post I see you're talking about adding propane to a gas engine, sorry I was referring to the 100% propane conversions. (Still can find how to delete a post here)

No you were right the first time. I don't think you can simultaneously supply gasoline and propane to the engine. Propane vehicle I drove before had two fuel systems, you could switch on the fly between. Propane was great if driving unloaded, mileage was similar or slightly worse but cost was about 2/3 of gas (the difference is bigger now). When towing, propane became much worse in terms of efficiency, so you'd switch back to gasoline.
