Did I really burn this much fuel??

Me and my girlfriend went to Ft Myers Fl. for a 3 day vacation. On one of the days we rented a boat to go cruising around the water for the day. The place wanted 200 dollars for a full day or 150 for a half day plus you pay for the fuel you burn. We are on a tight budget so I got the guy to give us a full day at the price of a half days rate. The tank is full when you leave and they fill it up when you get back and you pay for that. The boat was a 17 foot pontoon boat with a yamaha 70hp motor. We were in the boat from 11am to about 4:30pm. About 5 1/2 hours. In that time we stopped twice for about 20 minutes and 45 minutes. So id say the engine was on for about 4 total hours. In that time we were full throttle about 75% of the time. Had a few no wake zones to go through. We get back and he says we burned 29 gallons of fuel!! At 5 bucks a gallon! You do the math.. Not expecting this at the least!! Did we get ripped off? Was the tank not full when we left? I didnt check..

Is it possible to use the exhaust of a car to superheat water into its elements and burn them?

How about mixing the use of electrolysis hydrogen technology and then using the exhaust idea I have together. I think the hydrogen and oxygen gasses are different weights and can be separated simply by skimming the hydrogen off the top and reintroducing the oxygen in the combustion chamber. I believe the car will need gas until it is warmed up but once it can convert the water to its elements, it probably will run on it’s own. What do you think.

If I have more oxygen going in to the engine will it burn more gas?

I have installed a hydrogen system in my pick up but have a no idea how the computer will figuire out that it is burning HHO and stop burning gasoline

How do you feel about cars and how much gas they burn?

I went to this website and learned A LOT and i want your honest input about some of the things that this website claims about gasoline,ethanol,hybrid,hydrogen,etc. powered cars.

What are your thoughts after going to that website?

what are you trying to say steve? im not pro electric cars at all and never said i was so umm, lets try to be a little more smart when posting things.

i just want honest feedback

We know water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen .So why cant we make a car to burn the split water?

Water = hydrogen + Oxygen .Why cant we make a system wherein the water is split and the resulting Gas can be used to burn as Fuel.the electricity for the splitting can be generated by a battery initially which can get charged as the vehicle is moving.

i asked a question this am looking for a free web site on how to burn water in my car.?

recieve many answers from idiots that must live in te dark ages.i still need this info if any of ya;ll know where to get it. now this is for the idiots or non believers. try this. http/water4gas.com. its really hho made from water under the hood of your car.need 40 to 50 miles pergallon. just a word about passive solar.i heat 50 gallons of hot water a day for free.,no electric. cost me 600.00 to build it. buz.

Water4gas. Why Does My Coil Wire Tend To Burn Off Is?

I’ve found very few independent (meaning not employed by water4gas) clients who have spoken about their water4gas design experiences. Usually, they are negative on several design factors.
On a personal note: I spent weeks trying out different HHO gens (all from ebay -including the WATER4GAS design) and each one works so much differently.
The wire designs (like the water4gas), put out okay – but not at all adequate to make a huge MPG impact plus, the thin wire coils are known to eventually overheat or snap completely.
There are many factors involved in whether an HHO generator will work well or not. The major factors are:
1. what are the electrodes made of, how well will they conduct electricity and how quickly will they corrode?
2. What electrolyte mixture are you using in the water (electrolyte is required to make the water conduct electricity to split the hydrogen and oxygen)
3. how much oxygen are you involving in the gas out to the engine?
4. How many o2 sensors does your vehicle have and how will they react to the extra oxygen they will detect? (sometimes the o2 sensors will detect more oxygen and increase your fuel ratio to compensate for it – I personally have not had this problem, but have heard others record it)
Speaking from my personal experience with the generator I now use, I have literally TRIPLED my gas mileage.
So yes, it does work if you have the right Generator and if you know a little about the process.

Do All Hydrocarbons, Eg Gasoline And Ethanol, Burn To Co2 And Water With Some Trace Gases?

If so, then why the push for ethanol and biofuels to fight global warming?

Why Is Using Hydrogen From Water As An Additive To Burn Gasoline More Efficiently So Poorly Understood?

The hydrogen/gasoline mixture results in a rise in gasoline combustion efficiency, increased power, better mileage, and emissions so low that catalytic converters are no longer needed. It’s laughable for anyone to deny the facts. Hydrogen as the sole fuel would be too dangerous to use with current technology, but the generation of hydrogen, on demand in small quantities, and added to the fuel mix is proven technology, and does improve mileage. Case closed.

New discovery!! How to burn salt water as fuel.?

Check out the link for a new discovery on research in extracting fuel from salt water using radio waves.
Sounds quite interesting….any comments. Paul
