My long term plane is to build a HHO generator and see what kind of effect it has on my old truck. The short term plan is to make some basic changes to the truck and record the results.

The test subject is a 1991 Mazda B2600i Space Cab, 5speed, 2wd with 107500 miles. I have established a base line for MPG of 25.5 not bad for 17 year old truck.

I changed the air filter, (it needed it badly) and rechecked the MPG. It dropped to 23 MPG? After scratching my head and troubleshooting for a wile I discovered I had developed a slow leak in the fuel tank, weeping out of the seam and evaporating. Will repair and retest.

After changing the air filter and rechecked the MPG. the MPG dropped into 23? because of the slow leak in the fuel tank, i guess you got scratch it when you're replacing the air filter...

Due to the poor condition of the fuel tank I have removed the vehicle from service and till such time I can perform repairs. I do have another truck however and would like so start testing on it in the spring of 2010. It is a 1987 Ford Bronco.

FYI

The old Mazda didn't pass inspection this year so the testing is over for now... RIP old friend.
