Sure, the HAFC System-
it is the Hydrogen Assist Fuel Cell
theres 4 parts to it
1)the Fuel cell- takes distilled water and creates Hydrogen and oxygen gas- this just helps the fuel burn faster we are not running the engine on this at all. it helps overcome lean spots in the cylinder also.

2)the vaproizer- a little fuel heating system with magnets in it too- just gets the fuel a bit hotter you can think of fuel burning in the sense of an old car or truck how it had a choke, cold fuel has less vapor coming off of it which is the part that burns. carbed engines had more time for the fuel to warm up as it was on its way to the cylinder, NOW new engines are designed against vaporization and squirt liquid fuel directly into the cylinder so if we heat the fuel up before it, its closer to a vapor point but as of now we cannot heat it too much so that you don't wear out your injectors ect because it is fully vaporized, we still need it in a liquid state- I have no idea if the magnets do anything but it cant hurt. it is said magnets lower the boiling points and surface tension of water so maybe it works on gas.

3) the Optimizer- this is a little piggy back computer I wire in front of your ecu. it lets it lean out your fuel and not think something is wrong and richen it automatically and get same mileage as stock even with the mods. this does not effect DTC's or MIL's (check engine light) and you still have the safety of open loop (your computer has the ability to revert to factory settings at any time if it thinks a sensor is broken, all factories put this in its pretty cool)

4)Covalizer- a fuel additive you add 1oz to 20 gallons of fuel 16 ozs come with the kit, I think its 64ozs for $20 after. So it is an agent that will also help the fuel burn faster but it also is a lubricant since your engine will be running on so much less fuel. and one other property I cannot remember.... uhh yeah if I remember Ill edit.

:-)

EDIT: OH the "kit" of parts is priced right around $1000 I think $998 but for the 50% guarantee to be enforced you have to have it either just tuned or tuned and installed (I cannot remember which) by a certified installer- that will run you about $1000-$1300 for an install and tune and I dont know for just a tune alone so you would be looking at about $2200~
