Marty,

I will call him in a couple of weeks when I get back from holiday - hope he doesn't
hike his prices in the meantime.

I'm worried he won't have what I want - a quality system, not a dinosaur setup!
But I will call him and let you know how I go.

anyone looked at a hho generator?

the technology is getting better all the time and one fella at the nats was running one in his bedford.

ben would remember the name of the van.

the driver claimed a big percentage in fuel savings and you can make them yourselves.

are you running a wet cell or dry cell?

im looking into dry cells, smartscarecrow has almost got a 3h generator running smooth.
its still attached to the house mains but he will be able to run the gas of the generator soon i hope.

we have spare power so if we can change it into a gas that helps fossil fuel burn faster and cleaner then why not?

Fuel Economy- yes this is my third beddy that I am looking to buy .. and this time I am looking at practicality ..  .. the guy says it is getting 5kms to the litre on both fuel and gas  .. thats on a good run ... is that good ?
I have no idea what my old girls used to do .. they just ran well and I enjoyed the journey ..

It has a 253 V8 on dual fuel ..

my other was a 179 and a 186 red engine ..

What do you guys reckon?

cheers
