| Post subject: | Hydrogen Fuel Cell for Jeep Libertys! |
Ok so I have a friend that planted the idea of converting our cars His Caliber and My Liberty into Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars. He says that it can double you MPG. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this. Is it safe for my engine, are the gains worth the cost, will I performance. I'm mainly worried about my cars safety and I don't want to cause it to fail or blow seals because it wasn't meant to do this. What do you guys think? |

If he is talking about the HHO kits don't do it,waste of money and is pure snake oil.Save the money to buy more gas. A true hydrogen fuel celled conversion would cost millions of $$$$ right now.The tech is so new and expensive it's not worth the cost versus reward right now. |

a real Hydrogen fuel cell - takes large tanks of O2 and H2 and makes - electricity which is great if you have an electric car..... |

Youve got to have a place to get it. You can't just pull up to any ol gas station and fill up. |

I had to do a paper on fuel cells for one of my engineering classes. Personally, I would wait a few years. It's way too expensive right now and there is still a lot of research that needs to be done. Even the electric cars they have out now are not fully finished and to me, not worth it. |

uh...not sure what your buddy is talking about. As of now there is an extremely limited number of "consumer" hydrogen fuel stations in the country..the first one i know of for consumers being down the street from where i am now sitting. To give you an idea we (Honda) just did a limited release of our hydrogen cell car. its basically an accord and costs over $600 a month to lease. http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx-clarity/ |

Electric vehicles have been around since almost the time of the combustion engine. their success has more to do with politics than anything else |
