Some aspects of the folly of the propaganda have been pointed out. But I ran across this tidbit regarding the the actual effect of running a "hydrogen" fuel in your run of the mill engine: http://www.lubedev.com/articles/hydrogen.htm The first paragraph is pretty damning of their entire concept. (pre-extracting hydrogen from the fuel and injecting into the combustion chambers) It's somewhat sad... the buckboard wagons are gone, but the snake oil salesmen live on... - --- Jim Blair wrote: > http://www.preignitioncc.com/NE/index.htm > _________________________________________________________________ > Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. > http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008 > JeepNut - ---------------------------------------------------------- '92 Cherokee Laredo, bought new, still in daily use...

Today he finally drove Rambo... and opened the hood of his 460 powered Javelin... http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/01-Jan-24-Seattle-Javelin-Rambo/ALL.html I talked mark into installing the racor filter elements for omega that I picked up in seattle... but no happiness on getting Omega started. :( (not sure if I shared the pictures from last week when we brought omega home: The WJ did a superb job of hauling Omega... the trailer and omega were definetly heavier than the wj... but the surge brake worked amazingly well. the trailer was 2,000lbs, Omega must be at least 5,000lbs with dual tanks and the 6.2L Diesel. The Wj weighs around 3900lbs... but that 4.7L V8 is amazing... I'm still thinking that would be the best driveline for Superdawg... (he's coming home later) http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/01-Jan-19-mark-snow-omega_recovery/ALL.html ) mark actually took the '89 GW into seattle tonight... we'll see how well that goes, he wanted to take my benz... :) still need to bleed the fuel system on Omega, did find out that the filter on the primary side was dry, so when it was started it completely emptied all the filters and lines... oh boy. I'm thinking of using my vacuum tester/pump to bleed it. If my ear isn't hurting too much tomorrow I'll spend some quality time with my Jeep. :) supposed to be cold the next few days, 50% chance of snow sat/sun too... need to get my jeep running!!! anyone have any tricks for quickly priming a 6.2L Diesel? :) ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- there's a solution for every problem; problem is can we afford the solution? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 10:16:05 -0600 From: Allen Zylstra Subject: RE: xj: thursday, 24 jan 08 John, I used a outboard boat motor primer bulb with good results.
