SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Incorrectly installing or incorrectly using our Hydrogen Dry Cell may result in serious damage to your automobile or bodily injury. Read and follow the instructions and safety precautions given here and in relevant places throughout this manual to avoid these hazards. If you do not understand these instructions or do not like working on vehicles, have your mechanic do the installation. It should take 30 to 45 minutes to install this unit. Be sure to work outside, no smoking; make sure the engine is not hot.

Be sure to wear goggles and gloves and only use professional tools; use common sense and general safety procedures used for automotive installations and maintenance. If you're not sure, ASK! Yes, HHO is combustible – AFTER IT ENTERS THE ENGINE – that's the whole point. Your Hydro Fuel Dry Cell system does not store hydrogen when installed properly, so there is no fire hazard due to hydrogen storage. So, don't let people who have no understanding of the system intimidate you or tell you about non-existent hazards. Hydrogen dry cell technology cools down the engine and adds safety to any car.

The article “Shade Tree Safety” By Mike Bumbeck of autoMedia.com is a recommended reading that will give more education for the do it yourself mechanic.

WORD OF CAUTION: Avoid unnecessary fears and that includes listening to self-appointed “experts”. Because the safety notes in this manual are not intended to intimidate or stop you, only to add to your safety.

LET'S GET FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NEW DRY FUEL CELL

INSTALLATION:

The Dry Fuel Cell is the heart of the system that generates the HHO gas and cools down the engine. You will need to find a place in the engine compartment to mount your new Dry Fuel Cell. It should be mounted and secured in such a manner as to assure that it cannot bounce around when the vehicle hits bumps etc. Your Dry Fuel Cell comes with mounting holes which make your cell easy to install. Be sure to install your new Dry Fuel Cell so that it can easily be accessed and can be conveniently cleaned and serviced or inspected from time to time. Your new Dry Fuel Cell comes with a Reservoir/Bubbler that looks similar to the one above.

Make sure that your Reservoir/Bubbler is installed the same as you see it above. As you can see, the Reservoir/Bubbler needs to be higher than your Dry Fuel Cell. This system works off of gravity and will not work properly if it's not installed right. There are no pumps involved with the circulation. The other important device that needs to be installed with the dry cell is the vaporizer condenser. Some call this a scrubber. In any case, this keeps the electrolyte from entering into the engine which could cause damage by cylinder washout or trigger the check engine light. It also keeps buildup from occurring in the output line. If any electrolyte enters the vaporizer, it will eventually be sucked back into the bubbler tank after the engine is turned off. If you install the hydrogen generator without this, you are taking a chance of the engine sucking electrolyte into the intake manifold. This is particularly damaging to diesel engines because it could easily cause engine lockup. If you're not sure of something, pick up the phone and give us a call.

IMPORTANT:

Try to Install your new Dry Fuel Cell as far away from the heat of your engine. Locate the coolest available place in the engine area. We cannot give you an exact number here for what is “too hot”, because there is a combination of heating factors here: weather, engine, and the electrolysis process itself. There is a situation called Thermal Runaway, where an increase in temperature changes the conditions (in this case the rise in electrical current) that causes a further increase in temperature that could lead to a destructive result. You can prevent this from happening by following instructions.

IMPORTANT:

Vehicles with EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) should also be connected at or near the intake manifold. Use your vehicles Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve which is a one way valve that ensures continual refreshment of the air inside a gasoline internal combustion engine's crankcase. Now let's move on to connections and supply lines.

Your new Dry Fuel Cell device is operated by vacuum pressure from your vehicle’s engine, plus a 12 Volt supply from your vehicle’s electrical system. The device is designed to operate on 12 Volts. Refer to the wiring diagram below. If you’re not sure consult your auto mechanic (electric), or contacting us for help.

Connecting The Power Source

hho dry cell electrical connections


Useful resource: www.AHDOL.com - the Automotive Hobbyists Digital Online Library (AHDOL) provides FACTORY WIRING DIAGRAMS upon request, for vehicles sold in North America between 1984 and 2007. Cost of complete vehicle diagrams per vehicle is $11.99 and is guaranteed to be delivered, via email, within 24 hours.

1. Identify a point in your vehicle’s electrical system which has a 12 Volts (positive) present ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON (Position 2 of the Ignition Switch), such as the starter solenoid or a similar circuit. Be sure to install your Amp Meter inside your car so you can monitor it at all times.

2. Turn the switch off and take out the key. Connect the positive 12 Volts (point identified above) to the red terminal of the device, using the red wire supplied.

3. Connect the black terminal of the device to a good ground source near the Dry Cell using the black wire provided. This can be done by connecting to the negative battery terminal or by a bolt or screw connected to the frame or body of your vehicle (See diagram below).

4. To protect the wiring from long term damage, you can now put the newly installed wires into what's called “split flex tubing”, see photo. You can find it in all major hardware stores such as Ace, Home depot. Don't buy it online ($5 +S&H) because in the shop it's only 99 cents for 10 ft.

How To Run Your HHO Gas Into Your Vehicle.

Now it's time to connect the HHO gas line to your vehicle so you can experience a smother ride, cleaner burn, and go much further on a tank of gas. (Follow the diagram below).

hho vacuum connection


How To Use Your Vacuum

VACUUM

Dry cell systems should be connected to the closest area to the throttle throat (throttle body), not directly to intake manifold vacuum. The idea is to suck the HHO gas into a place such as the carburetor throat or fuel injection throttle body, where it can be automatically mixed with the existing fuel/air mixture. Best connection spot on carburetors and injection systems is at the closest location to the throttle body throat. Connect the output hose on the air filter container right above the carburetor throat and on fuel injection system, right above the throttle body throat by means of a fitting. On rubber duct type hoses, you can use a soldier gun and melt a hole in the rubber duct closest to the throttle body and glue and screw the fitting into the hole with Goop glue. On metal or hard plastic ducts, remove and drill hole, thread it, install fitting, and then clean the melt shavings out of the duct before installing it. (See diagram above)
WARNING: DO NOT SHORTEN THE OUTPUT VACUUM LINE between the engine intake and the Dry Cell. Keep the line (hose) at least 4 ft long. This length must be kept to enhance safety and prevent damage to the device.

FINAL SETUP

Filling the Reservoir/Bubbler with DISTILLED WATER & THE ELECTROLYTE:

ELECTROLYTE

(IMPORTANT NOTE) Our web site is available to anyone on the Internet. There is some information that is only for those who paid for the product. For example, we have our own formula for the electrolyte we use in our dry cells. This formula runs cleaner and more efficient then most things on the market today. This is according to our experience not theory. Just give us a call 1 504 469 9986 or send us an e-mail mailto:labellas@cox.net with your proof of purchase and we will give you the password to this link, click: www.labellasautorepair.com/forms/electrolyte_mix.pdf that contains the electrolyte mix and information.

Try to use at least a 1 quart Reservoir/Bubbler. Be sure to make your mix with that in mind. Our Dry Fuel Cell was made to run cooler, therefore you might need more or less electrolyte to bring your cell up to the operating standard we have set for this model. 10-12 amps maximum.

Once you have your mixture ready, pour it into the top of the Reservoir/Bubbler up to the water level line. (see sample diagram below) This is just a sample of a small 1 quart Reservoir/Bubbler. Be sure to leave about 1/4 of the tank empty. What you decide to use is your decision. While you are filling the unit, you should be able to see water running down to your Dry Fuel Cell. If you don't see any water going down the tube, this could mean you don't have the Reservoir/Bubbler high enough above your Dry Cell. Always try to install your Dry Cell at the lowest level on your vehicle.

TEST RUN:

1. Start by checking all your connections. Make sure your amp meter and inline fuse have been installed.

2. Now start your vehicle. While it's running, watch for bubbling action inside of your Reservoir/Bubbler. You should be able to see the gas entering the Reservoir/Bubbler.

3. Now it's time to check how many amps your dry cell is pulling. This cell was made to run at 10-12 amps without overheating at all. It will produce over 1 liter of HHO gas per minute if you have everything hooked up according to the instructions (that's all the hydrogen your vehicle will need to see an improvement).

4. If you have done everything right, within a short time, you will notice that the engine starts to sound dramatically different. It will sound smoother and quieter. Your RPM's may be unstable for a couple of minutes. This is normal. The HHO is starting to change the combustion cycle and cancels the pinging and the engine is now adjusting to the changes. Your RPM's will normalize in a couple of minutes.

Congratulations! Your new Dry Fuel Cell is now producing Hydrogen Gas!

This is a professional cell and not made out of kitchen utensils or outlet covers. This is for the expert experimenter. No novice please. What you do with this is up to you. However...Keep in mind if you install this in a vehicle you will still need something to fool the computer into leaning out the fuel mixture.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

YOU MUST FOOL THE COMPUTER

Why do I have to fool the computer? Most modern-day fuel injected vehicles use a computer and oxygen sensing devices to monitor and maintain the correct oxygen/fuel ratio. One of the key sensing devices is the oxygen sensor or called exhaust sensor. Fuel injected vehicles have one or more oxygen sensors installed in them. The computer extrapolates what the air/fuel ratio is, based on the amount of oxygen in the exhaust, as reported by the oxygen sensor.

When a fuel saving device is installed, such as an oxy hydrogen generator, the petroleum based fuel is burned more completely. One of the results of this is that there is more oxygen (and less unburned hydrocarbons) in the exhaust stream. This is a good thing, and is in fact, what we are trying to achieve. However, the computer will perceive this condition as a “too lean” air/fuel mix. In other words, what is now a desirable condition in the exhaust, will be interpreted as “not enough fuel”, and the computer will direct the fuel injectors to increase the amount of fuel being pumped into the engine. The result is that the oxygen sensor and computer prevents efficient combustion from occurring! In other words, it cancels out most of the improvement we have just made.

The Solution

The oxygen sensor “tells” the computer what the oxygen content is by providing a voltage on it’s signal wire between 0 and 1 volt. 450 millivolts (.45 volts) means that the fuel/air mixture is correct. Higher values means the mix is rich (has too much gas), and lower voltages means the mix is lean. By adding voltage to the sensor’s output, we can compensate for the additional oxygen in the exhaust and lean out the vehicle to get maximum MPG.

You must use device(s) that enhances the signal to the (ECU), such as an EFIE (electronic fuel injector enhancer) which goes on the oxygen sensor(s) BEFORE the catalytic converter(s).

DIAGRAM OF TYPICAL 02 SENSOR LOCATION

Most cars have oxygen sensors both before and after the catalytic converter. The ones downstream from the converter do not need to be treated. Their data is used to determine when the converter has gone bad, but are not used in the air/fuel ratio calculations. These devices are only needed for all upstream oxygen sensors.

However, oxygen sensor isolators can sometimes work instead of an EFIE.

OYXGEN SENSOR ISOLATOR INSTRUCTIONS

If you expect the best results, besides addressing the O2 sensors, you need to address other computer components as well. If the vehicle has a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor, you need to install a MAP/MAF enhancer on it (see illustration below). If the vehicle has no MAP sensor but has a MAF (mass airflow) sensor, a MAP/MAF enhancer needs to be installed on it (see illustration below). In some cases the vehicle may have both, in which case you only address the MAP sensor.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CTS
Most all fuel injected engine have a coolant temperature sensor CTS (see illustration & instructions below) and some have a separate intake air temperature IAT sensor (see instructions below). These sensors can be leaned out by upping the temperature that the computer sees (not your dash gauge) by installing a resistor in parallel to the sensor wires. Our testing has found that installing a single pull single throw on/off  switch eliminates cold start problems that the installation of the resistor produces. Make no mistake about it, if all possible computer components are not addressed properly for leaning out (fooling the ECM computer) the computer will eventually override single fixes and undo them after several weeks of driving, rendering the fuel mileage increase to null. Detailed instructions come with all purchased computer enhancers (and OUR enhancers come with detailed instructions that can be downloaded from this page) and these adjustments involve trial and error fine tuning until you get it just right or the check engine light might come on.

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR IAT
The IAT is less sensitive to cold start issues. You can add more temp to this signal than you can to the CTS. Just keep in mind that you are not only lowering your lean-out limits, you are also retarding your ignition timing. If you put a timing light on the engine as you adjust IAT values, you won't see the timing change. The timing changes under load. Hotter air is more prone to detonation. This is why the ECU retards the timing.

If you are tuning on the hottest day of the year, you may find out just how high of a signal you can generate before setting codes. Typically it is in the 240° F range. If you are tuning in the middle of February, then you can offset the signal from your base cold reading and things will be fine for now. Come June or August, this setting may be high enough to trip codes. Allow for this when tuning.

KEEPING THE HHO GENERATOR COOLER & MORE EFFICIENT
Click: www.labellasautoreapir.com/manuals/pwm_instructions.pdf
pulse width modulator diagram 
While the hydrogen generator will produce sufficient hydrogen output, pending the correct electrolyte mix, and run within heat tolerances, adding a PWM (pulse width modulator) will definitely improve the temperature control and HHO production more efficiently. Why? Because you can control the amperage draw below the limit it is capable of drawing. For example, if the unit is designed to run between 12-18 amps and the unit draws more than that, adding a PWM you can tune it down and can keep the amp draw within the specs, keeping a thermo runaway in check. It also changes the voltage wave length which is conducive to better HHO production.

BUT WON'T IT VOID MY CAR WARRANTY?

We get this question all the time. The answer is simple:

Your car or truck is being damaged right now by UNBURNED FUEL! Our technology will help not only eliminate carbon deposits caused by unburned gasoline - but will ACTIVELY clean out your engine every time you drive. Over the first few weeks you will notice that the engine becomes smoother and smoother. Then it will level off at a new level - at which the engine continues to STEAM CLEAN itself.

Your new Dry Fuel Cell makes the engine quiet, and calm. The engine stops knocking or "pinging". The water changes the combustion cycle into a more even or "round" cycle. This happens IMMEDIATELY upon installation, and from that moment on, your engine works in a new way. The effect is not only less noise, it also has less vibration, resulting in reduced strain on the transmission (thus smoother gear shifts), cleaner pistons and valves, and generally better engine operation.

Water cools down the engine. For years, heavy trucks have been using water injection systems that cost up to $15,000 to cool their engines. Truck owners are very sensitive to maintenance expenses and they know from years of experience that water reduces their breakdowns and overall operating costs.

Our Dry Fuel Cell system will widen the torque range and make vehicles accelerate faster. After acceleration, you don't have to press the gas pedal as much to keep going. Trucks pull better uphill with HHO Gas. Would you say that less strain on that Detroit diesel engine must result in less wear and tear over the life of the engine?

EASY UNDO: Our technology does not change your vehicle's engine or computer, so if you ever decide that you don't want this system, you can unhook it in less than a minute and your engine is just as it was - only cleaner!


CLEANING THE DRY FUEL CELL

You will need to do some maintenance on your Dry Fuel Cell from time to time in order to help make it last. Keeping your dry fuel cell clean is an important factor and it's a very easy process. First you take loose the outlet side of the cell and let it empty into a pan or bucket. Take the cap off your reservoir/ bubbler and let the water drain out. Once the water is drained out you will want to flush the unit.

(Important Note) Be sure that you drain the unit before flushing. Depending on what type of electrolyte your using, adding the flush mixture could cause a chemical reaction. Once the water has all drained out of the unit, mix 1/4 cup of bleach to one gallon of water. Then pour the mixture into the reservoir.

Let this flush through the system. This may take some time as your cell is gravity feed. Once all the mixture stops running out of the outlet tube, you only have one step left. Run another gallon of clean water through the system and you're good to go. Reattach the hose and fill the unit with the electrolyte mixture you're using and be sure to use distilled water.

We invite you to test this technology for yourself just like we've done, and just like 1000's of vehicle owners and fleet managers from around the world have done. Now go show others how to save money on their fuel bills.

Thanks again for purchasing one of the best Dry Fuel Cells on the Market.
