Has anyone tried using a hho generator in a marine application?? I do alot of offshore fishing as a charter captain and go thru 10 to 70 gallons a day (or more). I run fuel injected 2 stroke motors (250 yamahas) and it is a computerized system. My question is how does HHO react when the motors are under continues load? can changes be made to the o2 sensor on the motors to handle the HHO? I am running 2 stroke that oil is pre mixed before it is injected into the chamber at 50-1 and i can change the mix ratio (I think) if need to for the reduce fuel consumption (heavier oil to fuel mix for the HHO). I have searched the web and i found sites that make them for marine apps but no one has givin any numbers. and i know that the charging system on outboards isnt that strong and i will be adding extra deep cycle batteries to the boat to assist in the HHO production. any comments would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Ken
Hello Ken,
I have tested a 2lpm dry cell on my audi 1.9 tdi engine and i found 25% gains. i didn´t change anything in the o2 sensor.
I guess with a constant load would work better because the cell is producing constantly the same amount of hho. they say that works better in gasoline engines and even better in gas(ethanol or whatever) engines....
The only thing i can tell you as a mechanic, is that regulating the carburator in a 2 stroke engine is dangerous because if you put to little gasoline you can overheat the head of the piston and make a hole on it(i have done it ). The gasoline that enters in the cilinder cools down the piston, and in my case, i didn´t notice any changes in the temp meter.
So i´m not telling not to do it,just be carefull with it, and if you do it please share with us the results
Maybe you could try just putting hho and not touching anything else. i think that o2 sensor needs to be manipulated in engines with lambda sensor in the exhaust.
