The func­tion of using PETROL as a com­bus­tion enhance­ment in inter­nal com­bus­tion engines has been researched and proven for many years. The ben­e­fits are fac­tual and well doc­u­mented.  The tech­nol­ogy has been tested and proven both by insti­tu­tions and in hun­dreds of prac­ti­cal appli­ca­tions in road and fixed plant engines.  Our own util­i­sa­tion of this tech­nol­ogy, the Eco­Gas Petrol Injec­tion Sys­tem, incor­po­rates pos­i­tive aspects of this tech­nol­ogy and added many addi­tional oper­a­tional and safety benefits.

Here is a syn­op­sis of a sam­pling of the research that has been done:
In 1974 John House­man and D.J/Cerini of the Jet Propul­sion Lab, Cal­i­for­nia Insti­tute of Tech­nol­ogy pro­duced a report for the Soci­ety of Auto­mo­tive Engi­neers enti­tled “On-Board Hydro­gen Gen­er­a­tor for a Par­tial Hydro­gen Injec­tion Inter­nal Com­bus­tion Engine”.
In 1974 F.W. Hoehn and M.W. Dowy of the Jet Propul­sion Lab, pre­pared a report for the 9th Inter soci­ety Energy Con­ver­sion Engi­neer­ing Con­fer­ence, enti­tled “Fea­si­bil­ity Demon­stra­tion of a Road Vehi­cle Fueled with Hydro­gen Enriched Gasoline.”

In the early eight­ies George Vosper P. Eng., ex-professor of Dynam­ics and Cana­dian inven­tor, designed and patented a device to trans­form inter­nal com­bus­tion engines to run on hydro­gen. He later affirms: “A small amount of fuel added to the air intake of a diesel engine would enhance the flame veloc­ity and thus per­mit the engine to oper­ate more efficiently”.

The result: “far less pol­lu­tion with more power and bet­ter mileage.”

In 1995, Wag­ner, Jamal and Wyszyn­ski, at the Birm­ing­ham, of Uni­ver­sity Engi­neer­ing, Mechan­i­cal and Man­u­fac­tur­ing>, demon­strated the advan­tages of “Frac­tional addi­tion of hydro­gen to inter­nal com­bus­tion engines by exhaust gas fuel reform­ing.” The process yielded ben­e­fits in improved com­bus­tion sta­bil­ity and reduced nitro­gen oxides and hydro­car­bon emissions.

Roy MacAl­is­ter, PE of the Amer­i­can Hydro­gen Asso­ci­a­tion states the “Use of mix­tures of hydro­gen in small quan­ti­ties and con­ven­tional fuels offers sig­nif­i­cant reduc­tions in exhaust emis­sions” and that “Using hydro­gen as a com­bus­tion stim­u­lant it is pos­si­ble for other fuels to meet future require­ments for lower exhaust emis­sions in Cal­i­for­nia and an increas­ing num­ber of addi­tional states. Rel­a­tively small amounts of hydro­gen can dra­mat­i­cally increase horse­power and reduce exhaust emissions.”

At the HYPOTHESIS Con­fer­ence, Uni­ver­sity of Cassino, Italy, June 26–29, 1995, a group of sci­en­tists from the Uni­ver­sity of Birm­ing­ham, UK, pre­sented a study about hydro­gen as a frac­tion of the fuel. In the abstract of that study it stated: “Hydro­gen, when used as a frac­tional addi­tive at extreme lean engine oper­a­tion, yields ben­e­fits in improved com­bus­tion sta­bil­ity and reduced nitro­gen oxides and hydro­car­bon emissions.”

In the Spring of 1997, at an inter­na­tional con­fer­ence held by the Uni­ver­sity of Cal­gary, a team of sci­en­tists rep­re­sent­ing the Depart­ment of Energy Engi­neer­ing, Zhe­jiang Uni­ver­sity, China, pre­sented a math­e­mat­i­cal model for the process of for­ma­tion and restraint of toxic emis­sions in hydrogen-gasoline mix­ture fueled engines. Using the the­ory of chem­i­cal dynam­ics of com­bus­tion, the group elab­o­rated an expla­na­tion of the mech­a­nism of form­ing toxic emis­sions in spark igni­tion engines. The results of their exper­i­men­tal inves­ti­ga­tion con­clude that because of the char­ac­ter­is­tics of hydro­gen, the mix­ture can rapidly burn in hydrogen-gasoline mix­ture fueled engines, thus toxic emis­sions are restrained. These stud­ies and other research on hydro­gen as a fuel sup­ple­ment gen­er­ated big efforts in try­ing to develop prac­ti­cal sys­tems to enhance inter­nal com­bus­tion engine per­for­mance. A few of them mate­ri­al­ized in patented devices that didn’t reach the level of per­for­mance, safety or fea­si­bil­ity that would allow them to reach mar­ket­ing stages.

Cal­i­for­nia Envi­ron­men­tal Engi­neer­ing (CEE) has tested this tech­nol­ogy and found reduc­tion on all exhaust emis­sions. They sub­se­quently stated: “CEE feels that the result of this test ver­i­fies that this tech­nol­ogy is a viable source for reduc­ing emis­sions and fuel con­sump­tion on large diesel engines.”
