Hi all just joined up after reading on the site and watching what seems like hours of YouTube videos.

I decided to build a wet-cell with the spaced stainless washer design.
This is installed on a 1998 Ford Escort Van 1.8Diesel
The cell seems to work nicely and produces a nice stream of HHO bubbles when output pipe is put underwater.

Left to add is a bubbler/flashback device.

Cell draws around 7-9amps once its warm and so far have no problems with it overheating.

Power is taken directly from the battery into a 30amp relay and from the relay into inline 20amp fuse then the Cell. The relay is triggered using the engines oil switch and protected with a 7.5amp inline fuse..

I'm looking forward to some comments suggestions and or questions.

I'm new to all this and this is my first design and build after spending a little time reading and watching online.

If im happy with results then il be building a nice dry-cell and installing that in place of my Current setup.

Thanks
Stefan

since most of my installs lately are on diesel, you need to do yourself a favor and go with a Dry cell. that small engine does not need that much HHO. Start with this configuration -NNNNN+, there's a guy in the forum selling SS pretty cheap. You can produce the amount of HHO for the eng with 5" X 5" cell. Gather the detailed data to build one, staggared the holes and drill the exit hole on the top as close as you can to the gasket.

Majority thinks those holes are submerged, they are not the fluid level of the cell will only go as high as the holes location. Hence those holes and any surface horizontal to them will not be submerbged.

Things I can to with a small diesel like that.

Will indeed be taking a dry cell route in the future.
For a 1.8D what would you consider a good volume of gas for any increase in mpg from the engine.

This wet cell im currently working with i built out of parts laying around the house. Basically walking around the garage and shed looking at items and building it in my head till i could see a working item. Didn't spent a penny building it. Over the next few weeks il run this one while collecting parts here and there to build a drycell.

The way i see it something is better than nothing while im building.

Must admit its a nice feeling watching the milky gas kinda pour out of the tube when its running.

Stefan,
For a 1.8L Diesel engine, you'll need roughly 1.5 liters per minute of HHO.
Unfortunately, with the style reactor you're running, the gas appears "milky" due to the fact that what you're producing is mostly steam, not HHO.:(

Milky isn't good at all but at least where the tube goes in at, its not going to suck the cell dry of large drops of water. Any further towards the intake and it will!
