Increased MPG / alternative fuel was created by UKDAN
I've just been out on a breakdown. While I was there I noticed a load of new wiring going to a black box with a pipe coming out of it and into the air intake. I ask the guy what it was & it turns out to be a hydrogen fuel cell, which is run along side the current fuel system & improves mpg & power considerably. Could this be the petrol engine owners equivalent to TDI veg oil conversions ?

I'll side with the cynics and say that its snake oil. Most of these conversions usually claim to create the hydrogen from water using battery power. The laws of physics say that you'll get less out than you put in. Whether or not the hydrogen improves efficiency is also open to debate.
I used to run veg oil in my van but these days its not much cheaper than derv.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
