HHO (Oxyhydrogen) is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gasses in a 2:1 ratio. The 2:1 ratio is the same proportion as water. The gaseous mixture is commonly used for high temperture cutting torches and processing refactrory materials.
HHO used as a fuel or fuel additive to increase your automotive energy is widely speculated and no claims have ever been proven, as a matter of fact most have already been proven false due to the conservation of energy laws. Which states that the total amount of energy in any isolated system remains constantbut cannot be recreated although it may change forms.

Biodiesel has many uses and can be used in B100 form, or blended with diesel at any concentration in most modern diesel engines. Biodiesel has different solvent properties then petrodiesel and will degrade natural rubber gaskets and hoses in vehicles. Most vehicles made before 1992 will be most susceptible to these down falls of biodiesel. Biodiesel has also been known to break down in fuel lines, and clog fuel filters with particles. It is recommended that if you change your biodiesel concentration its advised you make a fuel filter switch as well.
The distribution of biodiesel is rapidly spreading along with its use. Fueling stations are making the B20 to B100 mixes readily available to consumers mostly across Europe, but growing rapidly in the USA and Canada as well. Surprisingly biodiesel is generally more costly to purchase, but you should save money in other area’s such as MPG and maintenance.

Biodiesel is a non-petriluem based diesel fuel that is made by the refinement of vegetable oil. You can use it alone, or blended with conventional petrodiesel in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles. Biodiesel is distinguished from the straight vegetable oil (SVO) or waste vegetable oil (WVO), used vegetable oil (UVO), pure plant oil (PPO), as fuel sources in converted diesel vehicles.
Blends of biodiesel and conventional hydrocarbon based diesel oil are products most commonly distributed for use in diesel fuel vehicles and farm equipment. Must of the world uses a system known as the b factor to state the amount of biodiesel in any fuel mix. Fuel containing 20% biodiesel is labled B20, and of course pure biodiesel is B100. It is very common to see B99 since 1% petrodiesel is sufficiently toxic to retard mold.

Todays gas prices have finally reached to a national average of oer $4.00 USD per gallon. This is insane as most families will struggle with decisions on where to cut their costs to afford fuel for their vehicles.
Combine this with the national average trip to work is over 35 minutes, you could have a costly commute to work and home every day, not to mention any other places you’ve planned to go such as vacations, groccery stores or to watch your kids sporting events far away.
