HHO Gas Generator Install Explained

All the buzz lately surrounding the use of HHO gas to supplement gasoline, coupled with ridiculous gas prices, has many people are wondering what all is involved in a HHO gas generator install. Since there are several different designs and plans available, this will be a very general overview just so you can see how easy your average HHO gas generator install is.

Most designs have the same general equipment which includes a reservoir for water, some type of electrolysis setup, some electrical wire, and tubing used to direct the HHO gas from the HHO gas generator into the engine. The reservoir used also varies from design to design, and really there is no particular reservoir that is set-in-stone with any of the designs. Many actually use something like a preserves jar for their HHO gas generator install.

The reservoir can be mounted using metal straps, brackets, or even zip ties. Regardless of which method you go with, make sure the bottom of the reservoir is being supported so you don't run into any issues. I made this mistake during my first HHO gas generator install and had to remount the unit after about a week.

After mounting the reservoir you'll want to run the tubing to the air intake hose. There are several ways to do that also and it will vary from design to design but this is a pretty easy part of the HHO gas generator install and usually just involves making a small hole in the stock or an aftermarket air intake. Keep in mind if you ever need to remove the HHO gas generator you can simply cover the hole.

All that is left now to finish up the HHO gas generator install is to wire up the electrolysis unit. This is also pretty easy, and you can run the wiring a couple ways. Some people wire it with a switch that is either under the hood or inside the vehicle, but my preferred method is to actually wire the unit to the ignition power so the unit comes on automatically anytime the engine is running. By doing so, you'll constantly have an ample amount of HHO gas at any given time and if you're forgetful like me you won't have to worry about forgetting to flip it on.
