How does the TAP Fuel Saver work ?

    The TAP Fuel Saver converts any internal combustion engine to a hybrid through the benefits of hydrogen.  Water is pumped from the reservoir to the Fuel Saver unit where it is converted to hydrogen.   Hydrogen comes off the top of the unit and goes to the throttle body where it is goes into the engine and burns more efficiently than regular fuel.  Because hydrogen is more efficient than gasoline, diesels  or propane it provides the benefits of increased mileage, increased power and decreased emissions.

I've seen other units on the market, what makes yours different ?

    Others simply introduce air turbulence into the system which has no major effect of increasing mileage. Other units are made out of plastic which can crack and deteriorate over time & weather.  Our unit is constructed with stainless steel for long lasting durability and injects hydrogen - a more efficient fuel.

Water is stored in one tank, how does it get to the 'conversion' unit ? 
    At the bottom of the water storage reservoir is a water pump. Tubing from the bottom goes to the intake on the TAP Fuel Saver unit.

 How is the hydrogen supplied to the engine  
    The outlet tubing on the TAP Fuel Saver has a "Y" junction to be attached at the manifold therefore allowing the hydrogen into the firing reaction.
 
With hydrogen being so volatile I have a concern of sparks or engine heat igniting the vapour. How is this prevented ?  
    We supply installation instructions with the unit when purchased. Since the hydrogen being produced in the TAP Fuel Saver unit is not under compression, volatility is less concern than driving with a gas tank. We lit a match at the end of the outlet tubing - got a 'popping' sound that went out immediately. If you lit gasoline fumes in a similar way - you'd have a big problem.  Install the TAP Fuel Saver unit according to instructions then the unit only turns on when the engine is running. When you turn your key off - the unit turns off.
 
How much hydrogen is produced ? 
    The water molecule is made up of 3 atoms - 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. The amount of  hydrogen produced is dependent upon water being pumped to the reaction unit - if you run out of water the unit stops producing hydrogen. If the reaction separating water into hydrogen and oxygen occurred in open air it would dissipate immediately.  
 
How large is the water storage tank and what is the equivalent amount of hydrogen produced from that amount of water ?
    The water storage reservoir measures about 8" high by 5" wide by 4" deep and contains about 1 1/2 liters of water. This provides about 1000 km of reaction.  A larger engine would use up the water a bit more quickly and if the engine is under heavier load then more could be used more quickly.
 
What are the effects of introducing hydrogen into the engine ? 
    In effect you would be changing your vehicle into a gas/hydrogen hybrid. You will be improving your  mileage and since hydrogen burns cleaner and more efficiently than gas or diesel fuel it will clean the engine over time.  Testers have taken apart gasoline engines to see how 'dirty' they are. They then reassembled the engine and ran the vehicle using the TAP Fuel Saver.  After one month they took the engine apart again and the engine was visibly cleaner.
 
What is the ratio of hydrogen to fuel during the operation of the unit ? 
     It changes based on the demand of the engine. As the vacuum from the engine revs becomes higher, the TAP Fuel Saver makes more hydrogen for use.
 
How is the amount of hydrogen regulated to an ideal stoichiometric ratio,  in order to maintain peak engine performance and low emission levels ?  
    Gasoline burns 13% efficiently. Hydrogen burns 86% efficiently. The average car on the road today is already using a product that is minimally efficient in burning, is dirty and costs for fuel are increasing dramatically.  Adding hydrogen can only increase vehicle efficiency.  This unit has been made affordable for the average consumer - to combine the benefits of hybrid technology without throwing out older cars The embodied energy required to build new hybrid cars is much more than the energy required to build and add a TAP Fuel Saver to a vehicle currently in use.  If we buildfuel saver unit that has the onboard computers needed to monitor peak ratios etcit would increase the cost of each unit to the average user.  
 
Some fuels: ethanol, methanol, and propane to name a few, require that engine components and fuel components be made of certain materials due to the corrosive nature of the fuel. What effects, if any, does hydrogen have on engine wear ?
    Engines burn cleaner and more effectively.
