JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

you would have to run with too much hydrogen to get those totals, and you would have to retard your timing to almost top dead center. You MIGHT get 2-3mpg after tweeking it, but the O2 sensor will go squirley on you (you would have to have have the inlet after the sensor, and since hydrogen is lighter than Air you lose a lot of it anyway.

Too much O2 and your engine starts to run richer and gets more mpg.

Bottom line new vehicles don't cooperate well with these setups

Aside from running rich, and the problems that go with it there shouldn't be any other issues.

Just watch how you mix your reactor fluid (how much baking soda or caustic acid such as lye you use) it could draw a whole lot more amps then expected and this could go real bad real fast.
