If you own a car, you are no doubt frustrated by the ever increasing oil prices. Does looking at your fuel bills give you a minor heart attack? With gas prices hitting upwards of $4 per gallon, most car owners are looking at ways to decrease their car's fuel intake and increase its mileage.

You must have heard of water as fuel systems or hydrogen fuel cell systems for cars which supplement the gasoline and are said to increase the efficiency of the car's engine and thereby increasing the mileage and cutting fuel intake costs significantly. Read on to know how to benefit from this technology and install a hydrogen fuel cell system in your car.

A hydrogen fuel cell system is easy to build and costs around $200. You can buy the kits at the closest hardware store. This hydrogen fuel cell can be installed in the car in a few quick minutes and it does not require any modifications to the car's engine or any other part. When you are ready to use water as fuel, or at least an additional fuel on your car, test it and you will notice how significant you can cut the cost of your gas bill.

Hydrogen fuel cell systems do not completely replace the gasoline as fuel. They only complement it and help to increase the efficiency of the car's engine. The system combines two sources of energy, which are water and gasoline, your engine will use them at ratio of 60-40 for gasoline and water respectively.

Once installed, a small amount of electricity is drawn from the car's battery and this is transferred to the water as fuel system through electrodes and a form of hydrogen called HHO is formed as a result of the chemical reaction that ensues. HHO is nothing but two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen; it is a highly combustible gas. Once produced, the HHO gas is sent via vacuum tubes to mix with the gasoline fumes.

This mixture is burnt by the car's engine to power the car. Since HHO is highly combustible, it enables the engine to burn the gas mixture much more completely and efficiently. This means that your car will provide an improved mileage. You can expect at least a 60% to the ultimate 90% increase in mileage depending on your car condition. In addition to this, your ride will be quieter and smoother; also, as HHO is a clean fuel, it will significantly help to reduce toxic emissions from your car.

So, now you must have a clear understanding of how to use water as fuel for you car. All it takes is the installation of an inexpensive water for gas system that you can build yourself!
