A Catalytic converter with heat shield off. An oxygen sensor is attached. Thermal shock : As previously stated catalytic converters run at very high temperatures and thermal shock will occur when a hot catalytic converter is driven through deep water. The casing of the converter shrinks at a much faster rate than the substrate compressing it. If shocked enough, the substrate fractures and can lead to the blockage of the exhaust. Physical damage: This is principally caused by driving over bumps or potholes in such a manner that dents result on the converter casing as it impacts with the bad road or other objects.
These dents if bad enough can fractures the substrate, compromise its functioning, and lead to blockages. I sometimes shake my head as I watch a particular neighbour drive his car almost without care over a high bump in our neighbourhood.
Leaded fuel: Lead destroys the catalyst. This may not be an issue in countries where leaded fuel is banned and good quality control mechanisms exist. Ensure you only get gas from verified gas stations. Affiliated: Dr. Educational and Research Instit. Preview Document Add to Cart. Login to see discount.

The oxygen increases the octane value of the fuel. Powerful magnets ionize the water and the gasoline to produce smaller molecules and separate their compounds into simple elements that burn more efficiently. The conditioner "cracks" and vaporizes the fuel which burns more of the gas molecules. The balance of hydrogen and oxygen with the vaporization and ionization, produces significant increase in gas mileage, cleaner engine conditions, more horsepower, better performance, and dramatically decreases exhaust pollution!
Your vehicle may have different fuel economy, you may travel more or less per year, and gas prices will vary. The more you travel and the higher the gas price is, the more you will save. It's not that I do not care about the environment. I simply like the feeling and security of driving a bigger vehicle. Remember that green "imitation SUV" Dodge van at the top of the page?
It is not just green in colour. It is also environmentally green. You too can Do what we did - get a Hydro Assist Fuel Cell! This technology will work for you whether you drive a little four-cylinder puddle-jumper or a gas-guzzling extended-cab, heavy duty pickup truck.
The only requirement is that it runs on gas. It will reduce your current vehicle's emissions to almost zero. Some people, particularly if you have a smaller 4-cylinder car that is getting over mpg with the HAFC, will decide that the extra cost of upgrading to the PICC is not worth their while. If you drive an SUV however, the guaranteed mpg might make the extra cost worth your while.
