Great Ebay Seller!!!

I sent a note to the seller of the reservoir bottle I used telling him of the split issue.
Here's my email:

"Just wanted to give you a heads up on this tank I bought from you in November.
I did my install on the truck in May 2010 & the unit was great.
The fittings were tight with absolutely no leaks.
Today I was going to refill my reservoir and noticed the tank has split open ( see pix attached).
I think that they are unable to handle the KOH electrolyte."

That is exactly what I said. Today I was weeding through my spam filter, which his reply accidentally fell into. I was pleasantly surprise at his response.

"Sorry for the trouble. Maybe the tank had a flaw in it, that happens sometimes with this type of plastic forming technique. E-mail me back with your address and I'll send you another tank to replace the defective one. I now weld the fittings in, hold better."
Talk at you later.

His Ebay seller name is Mr.Mustang390. Here's a link to his page: Mr.Mustang390
I highly recommend him. He is absolutely a great Ebay seller who stands behind his product!

A blowout in the reservoir

I had noticed that my mileage wasn't as good in the last few fill ups as I had been getting. Well today I accidentally found the culprit.

While I was adding distilled water to my KOH tank, I noticed that there was a split in the tank at the seam. So in effect, I had am HHO gas leak for about 3 weeks. I anticipated these types of problems which is why my reservoir tank is installed just behind the grill on the driver's side. This is far enough away from the intake and any potential flashback issues.

I replaced the tank with a 2 quart unit of much thicker plastic.
