Hydrogen Helps Power Irrigation Engine
Bruce Richardson, Lusk, Wyo., has a big Cat 3406 diesel engine that runs about 1,000 hrs. a year on an irrigation system. The last two years he says he has saved between 3 and 3 1/2 gal. of diesel fuel an hour with the help of HydroStar hydrogen generators. The hydrogen helps fuel burn more completely and cleaner and at little additional cost.
  “I run four of them on the engine, and they last about a year,” says Richardson. “At $125 each, they pay for themselves many times over. The lye and distilled water mixture used in them costs about $40 a year.
  “The units run about 12 hrs. without a refill, so I fill them up in the evening and again in the morning,” says Richardson. “I tried propane injection, too, but it saved only about a gallon and a half an hour.”
