The water power car is eventually making an appearance in the media. National networks are beginning to give air space to water power car technology. The knowledge has been there for several decades now. The problem has been self-interest on the part of oil and petroleum corporations. They have wanted to suppress the notion that cars can run on water.

Whatever the case, more than 200,000 Americans already have a water power car. To burn water in a car is not as complicated as you might think. Water cars generally run with a combination of the normal internal combustion engine, running on gas, and a water cell or battery. The HHO produced increases the car's efficiency. The gas consumption is thereby reduced.

Your average water power car will normally increase your gas mileage by around 30%. It is generally the same whether it is urban or highway driving. Savings at the gas pump are massive. Do your own figures, if you like. For an average family saloon car, savings with a water power car amount to around $900 a year. That is based on a yearly mileage of 12,000. You don't need the brains of Einstein to work out the savings increase dramatically if you own a truck or have more than one vehicle in the family.

You must ensure your find proper instructions for converting your existing car to a water power car. That's right. You don't need to go out and purchase a hybrid car. Kits to add water power to what you already have are commonplace. It is all so easy, you can install them yourself for under $300 without any mechanical knowledge. All of them can be removed at any time.

Water power car instruction guides come in at under $100. Once you know how to convert one car to run on water, obviously you can convert as many as you want. You can do all your family's, your friends, or, if you have a taxi company or haulage company, an entire fleet.

Some people still put forward spurious arguments against water power cars, but they are seriously flawed. There are cars on the road today which have been running on water for over 20 years. No adverse effects on the engines have been observed. Also, there is absolutely no danger in the process of electrolysis which produces the additional energy.

Furthermore, a water power car actually adds oxygen to the environment. That may not be good news for the oil companies, but for the rest of us less pollution in the environment is a good thing.

Contrary to what you might think, the performance of your engine will be augmented by adding a water fuel cell. Overall power is also increased, giving better torque performance. It is also much gentler on the engine, increasing its lifespan by 50%. No more need for diesel if that's what you're worried about. An engine run on gas and water will now outlast any diesel engine. In particular, the rings, valves and pistons get much less abuse.

Consider that feeding water through the system with a water power car cleanses the engine of carbon deposits and you will begin to understand what I'm on about. Water power cars also have a much reduced operating temperature than that of a normal gasoline engine. The combustion cycle is completely changed. The engine becomes noticeably more quiet. You will also find the gearshifts a lot more smooth.

To recapitulate, a water power car means money savings, is good on the environment, significantly reduces engine wear and tare and improves overall car performance. As I said, you can have a water power car for less than $300 and remove the system at any time without damage to your vehicle. Good luck with your water power car.

Ford F-150 SuperCab Tow Test

We tested the all-new 2009 Ford F-150 pickup equipped with a three-valve 5.4L V-8 and six-speed auto transmission in Trailer Boats’ March 2009 issue (“Power Packed”), and it was impressive. We found it to offer abundant power, outstanding drivability and firmly planted handling. Months later, however, we got to thinking that it might be interesting to see what this truck could do if it was packing one of the two available smaller 4.6L V-8 engines under its hood. To take the question a step farther, we went “old school” and had one delivered with the two-valve 4.6. Would it perform up to our expectations? Would it burn significantly less fuel? We had a lot of questions. Here’s what we discovered.

MUCH OF THE SAME

For all intents and purposes, you get the same truck when you order it with one of the smaller V-8 engines. It’s based on a fully boxed, hydro formed steel ladder-style frame, a double wishbone short- and long-arm independent front suspension with coil-over shocks with redesigned double ball-joint links for improved handling, and a leaf-spring suspended live rear axle with outboard-mounted shocks for improved roll stability. AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) systems are integrated into the four-channel, four-wheel ABS brakes to help keep the vehicle under control in skid or body roll scenarios. All 2009 F-150s also come with the new Trailer Sway Control system, which is especially sensitive to yaw-type motions in the truck’s chassis, and can signal sway-dampening measures to the engine and brake system to help bring trailer sway under control. The interior is the same basic design, although the 4x2 STX SuperCab model was far less dressed up than the 5.4-equipped SuperCrew we had before. And certainly the rear seat passengers in the SuperCab will be less comfortable than those who ride in the SuperCrew’s second row of seats. All of the controls, dials and switches are easy to reach and manipulate. In general, visibility around the truck from the driver’s seat is good, although the large headrests on the front seats block the driver’s over-the-left-shoulder view through the driver-side rear passenger door window on the SuperCab model.

SOME DIFFERENCES

As far as capability goes, the 4.6-powered F-150 doesn’t give up too much compared to the 5.4 when it comes to payload and GVWR. With the 4.6, the payload drops only 150 pounds to 1580, and the GVWR goes down just 300 pounds to 6700. The GCWR and tow rating take a pretty good hit, though. The GCWR drops 6000 pounds to 11,100; the maximum trailer weight rating loses 5400 points for a 5800-pound tow rating. Let’s look at this with some perspective, however. How many of you actually tow a trailer boat that weighs 10,000 pounds? Not that many it seems. In fact, our reader survey shows that about 75 percent of Trailer Boats readers tow less than 7000 pounds, and around 55 percent tow less than 5000 pounds. That means the 4.6-powered F-150 we tested is capable of towing the boats owned by more than half of the readers of Trailer Boats. With the 4.6, you don’t get Ford’s new high-tech six-speed transmission. Our tester came with a four-speed OD automatic transmission. Quite frankly, it worked perfectly fine, with crisp, clean shifts and no noticeable gear hunting. You don’t get the higher price, either. The 5.4-equipped F-150 4x4 SuperCrew we tested had a base MSRP of $37,990 and a price as tested of $46,495 (loaded to the gills with extras). The 4.6-equipped and modestly optioned 4x2 SuperCab carried a price as tested of $30,990. Its base MSRP was $26,495. Take the difference and stick it in the bank.

BOTTOM LINE

The numbers tell much of the story. The boats towed during our testing of the two trucks were within 700 pounds of each other. In both towing and non-towing situations, the two-valve 4.6 showed moderate fuel savings in comparison to the 5.4. On flat highway stretches and city driving with the boat in tow, the 4.6 never broke a sweat. It pulled the load from a standing stop with relative ease, and cruised the highway with very little pedal pressure. Only when we hit the hills did the truck begin to show its Achilles’ heel. On mild uphill grades, we shifted down into third gear (turned OD off) and had no trouble. But when the climb got steeper, the transmission had to be dropped down into second gear, and we made the top of the 6 percent Cajon Grade at a 50 mph pace with the engine revving at about 3500 rpm. Overall, the Ford we tested with the 4.6 is a solid performer capable of towing the 5250-pound boat. It has its shortcomings when compared to the 5.4, but this test confirmed what we had already theorized — the 2009 Ford F-150 4x2 powered by the two-valve 4.6L V-8 is a good option to consider when looking for a new tow vehicle. It can handle the trailer boats that most of you have parked in your driveways.

Confusion over acceptable oil grade to use - Ford Focus 1.8 petrol?

In my Ford Focus (UK) petrol owner's guide it says that 5w30 engine oil should be used at all times for optimum performance. However, further down the page below where it says engine oil top-up it says that 5w30, 10w40 or 5w40 oil can be used albeit with reduced fuel economy, performance etc. Does Ford mean that e.g. 10w40 can be used for a complete oil change (as it says "top-up" it doesn't say by what amount e.g. 1 litre or more) or only for topping up. Even more confusing, the Hayne's manual for this model says that 5w30, 10w40 or 5w40 can be used but higher viscosities e.g. 15w40 could cause damage. I have read in the car mechanics magazine that the use of higher viscositites than 5w30 can cause valve or other problems later on.

So I would like to know once and for all whether 10w40 oil would cause damage to the engine

thanks

by damage they mean carbon build ups due to oil contamination form burning around valve seals etc. and having a possibility of sticking piston rings. the oil's used by modern engines are tested heavily for best performance. topping up with the odd litre of heavier grade oil will not in itself cause any problems a sit wil be diluted and changed at next service anyway. best not to run the heavier oils as they are not recommended for good reasons.
it will be unlikely that running say, with entirely the heavier oil will cause an engine failure but it will over time degrade the engine and it's performance. (reducing it's useful working life)
don't worry about topping up with a heavier or lighter oil providing its not excessive eg a half litre or more every month or so. again also oil's need to get to correct working temperatures to be effective and lots of short stop start journeys degrade an oil much quicker than long motorway journeys.
