Re: If you're hungry for power or fuel efficiency, beware of a scam like this one:

Diesel works just fine *with* LPG as additive, rather than LPG instead of diesel in a diesel engine.

It works in a similar way on tuned diesel engines that nitrous oxide works on petrol engines. And just like the petrol equivalent, it works much better on forced induction engines than normally aspirated.

If they can't suck in enough oxygen then LPG will make the problem even worse.

Unlike drum brakes, which have retracting springs, disk brakes do not retract when the pedal is released, therefore the pads can rub against the rotor causing friction in the form of a minuscule braking force. The solution is to have the pads retract from the rotor mechanically (springs?) or hydraulically (negative fluid pressure/vacuum).

Pads don't rub in a properly setup set of disk brakes.

Except the lack of OXYGEN will occur.

Hi Carl,

There is one customer waiting for us to improve his diesel truck. I would try increase OXYGEN flow first before adding LPG. He lives in a hot climate, I'm not sure if I want to add LPG for him. I'm afraid his mishandling LP tank could cause him a good grief, later his family could accuse us. If LPG is added OXYGEN level has to be increased otherwise your engine will stall. I've seen this problem on Gasoline engines several times.

Nitrous oxide (N2O or NOS), sounds good except it can damage your engine's pistons particularly if your car has bad frictions. There is a limit of compression stroke on each cylinder. With Zero-friction like Mercedes-Benz's *(that we are able to correct), I'm fraid N2O is not suitable to be added, maybe if we can control the amount N2O. Refilling N2O tank is a major issue, you may need a license.

Currently we are able to turn frictions into energy and we are very proud of our work.

You mean you can convert one form of energy into another. Thats the law.

Just experience that manufacturers would rather throw your fuel, at providing extra protection, than their money at providing a replacement engine. They cover their own arses by using slight overfueling, using the additional fuel to cool the piston tops and avoid knock. It is a standard practice because production engines are no where near blueprinted and vary enough that you can't fine tune for varying driver use and the life of the vehicle.

My old Celica GT4 (all-trac) used to cover the read valance with black soot (it was petrol) even though the emisions were well within the UK fairly strict MOT standards, it even ran rich after the boost was upped by 5PSI, right to the safe limit of the standard toyota fueling map/headgasket.

I don't why you guys keep discussing this garbage with an obvious snake oil salesman, but you don't have to rebuild very many calipers to know that the rubber ring around the piston acts both as a seal and as a retracting device. It doesn't pull it back much, but it's enough to lift the pad off the rotor.

Dismantle and clean the calipers and pistons and put in a new rubber ring. Machine or replace the rotors if they are scored or worn out of spec. Not really rocket science.

On Mercedes-Benz's, fixing dragging brake is not too difficult, unlike fixing the Japanese's ones. In any cases do double-check your work, because usually the same problem return 5-6 times due to brake re-adjust itself.

BTW - We already reached 90-mpg on converting Mercedes-Benz's any models C230 - E320 to triple mileage. Thanks to our Friction-2-Energy technologies, it makes a big difference.

Hey guys,

There is a reason why carmakers allow substantial amount of frictions on your brake. If remove it too much, the car will go too fast, it won't be easy to manage the speed. We solve this problem by converting the brake friction to energy and restore it back to a battery. Most people are ignorant when it comes to battery power. You need to have plenty of battery's power in order to produce powerful ignition. That's why OFS creates a device to convert friction-to-energy by increasing electrical load on your alternator just briefly when you're slowing down, when you brake and when you come down hill too fast. That's why we are able to reach 90-mpg on Mercedes-Benz by reusing that power capturing during vehicle slowing down.

Cheers,

GasSaver

Codswallop 1.

Codswallop 2.

Codswallop 3. And a possible overcharged battery to boot. You're never going to recoup even a skerric of regenerative braking energy by producing a 0.0384% fatter spark. Or by overcharging the battery now, so as to briefly and marginally reduce the alternator load in a few minutes' time.

There's also no doubt that drivers can improve fuel consumption dramatically when they're trying to prove a point by driving very economically.

John

I guess when YOU do it you have to do everything 5-6 times, you asshole!

How does a disk brake readjust itself, moron?

You don't know very much about cars, do ya? Care to explain how they'd "re-adjust"? And how is it that my Lexus doesn't "re-adjust"?

You're a troll, right? You don't REALLY believe what you're writing, RIGHT?

Oh, nice pkb.

Snake oil works better than what you sell.

This is it in a nutshell. As with fake diet pills that say "well it didn't work because you didn't eat right and exercise regularly", it's not the pill that did it but eating right and exercising regularly.

The FTC should go back to crackdown mode on things like this.

He does not sell snake oil.

Gas Saver sells a perpetual motion machine.
