Millersburg man increases pickup’s around-town fuel economy to 30 mpg

Ray Warren of Millersburg knows a good idea when he hears it.

Warren contacted his friend Elden Huntling of Lebanon to inquire about the water-based, hydrogen-burning technique Huntling is using with his diesel-powered Dodge pickup. He immediately decided to try the process with his own truck.

“I was flabbergasted,” said Warren of the results. “I’ve been able to double my mileage.”

The process is basically the same as Huntling’s, except Warren uses 10 bottles to run his rig compared to the eight Huntling originally used.

There is one other difference: Whereas Huntling’s truck was burning diesel, Warren is running his system in a gasoline-powered Ford Ranger.

“This is a big pickup,” said Warren. “It’s got the big V6 in it.”

Huntling has heard from about three dozen people since he started publicizing his use of a hydrogen generation system he found on the Internet in March.

“It’s something that he is running it on a gas engine and not diesel,” said Huntling. “I’ve had a lot of calls, but this is impressive.”

Warren puts his truck to the test regularly. Following Huntling’s lead, he got information off the Internet. Warren has gone from 15 miles per gallon

to 30.8 miles per gallon with the

hydrogen-gasoline mixture he creates using water and baking soda.

“Mine is run from my tool box. I don’t have any jars in the engine compartment,” said Warren.

“Around town I’m getting 30 miles per gallon. That’s pretty incredible,” says Warren, who is retired from the trucking business.

Huntling got his Dodge back on the road recently after an illness and has seen additonal increases in his mileage. Taking a cue from Warren he now runs an additional eight jars from his tool box in the back of the truck.

“I’m up to 29 miles per gallon. That’s a 64 percent increase,” he said.

He said that vehicles need to be in good working condition and good mechanical shape for the process to work, but anyone who adapts the system will “see some great results.”

Like Huntling, he has been letting people know about the system, having received inquiries from 20 people.

He plans on expanding his $91 investment by adapting it for his motor home.

“I’m an RV’er,” he noted. “It costs me almost $1,000 to fill my tank. I hope that will change now.”
