<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">"When you take a guy from here to the airport you show him that the Escalade burns 13 liters of gas from here to there, then I turn the switch on for my system, drive back the same mileage and burn two liters "” this is when you get people's attention," said Hoyeck, who has been a mechanic for 16 years and has been working on his invention for four years.
It's his knowledge of chemistry (he was first in his high school chemistry class in Lebanon) that made it possible for him to get 37 kilometres per litre in a Cadillac Escalade.
"You still put gasoline in the tank but your vehicle is burning very little gas, and you only change your oil half as often. It runs on hydrogen, mixed with fuel," he said. "It's better for the environment, better for your car and it actually provides more power.
"Our machine works with the computer of your vehicle. The signal that comes from your O2 sensor tells our system how much hydrogen to create, how much hydrogen to go into your combustion chamber. I can tune it up to the level where you're burning very, very little fuel, up to (68 kilometres per litre) in a Honda Accord."
To investigate the claim, The Chronicle Herald arranged with Hoyeck to drop off a car and have one of his devices installed. A 2001 Mazda Protégé spent one whole day at his shop, but at the end of the day we were told there hadn't been enough time to do the installation.
We made another appointment, leaving the car for three hours but again, no device. When we went back for our third appointment, we were told there was no time for us that day.
According to people in the car business, it might have been a blessing in disguise.
Kelly Coutts, the co-owner of City Mazda in Halifax, said any device added to a vehicle's fuel system could affect warranty coverage. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That must be some chemistry course in Lebanon
As Barnum said one born every ?
