Testing Hydrogen Gas Supply (cont.)

 
    * see information disclaimer
 

You test for leaks in your hho system just like you would for a gas leak in the pipes of your home. If you are not a professional plumber we suggest you hire one. A hydrogen gas leak is dangerous and should be repaired by a qualified person. Now that we got the legal stuff out of the way, let's proceed.

 

Mix up some soapy water, half water, half soap, and pour it on all your hho dry cell hose connections and any fittings on the unit. Pour it on any parts going from the generator and also any parts connected to the vehicle. Look closely for any new bubbles forming, make sure they are being produced by leaking gas and not bubbles that were simply made from making the soapy mixture. You will clearly see the difference. If you find any leaks repair them and test the hho generator again.

 

You can also use an electronic gas leak analyzer if you have the extra money to throw away. Also, instead of using soap there are several pre-mixed solutions available. Off the top of my head, one is "Gold Gas Leak Detector."

 

If the hydrogen generator still does not work, check any valves that you may have installed with the unit. Some valves only allow gas to flow in one direction, you will usually find an arrow on these types of valves, the way the arrow is pointing is the direction of the flow of gas. So if the gas is flowing from your generator through this valve then on to your engine, the arrow will be pointing away from the hydrogen generator.

 

Also check all your hoses for any splits or cracks. If you find any, replace the hose. Check for any plugged hoses or valves.
