Abstract

The fuel consumption of vehicle increasingly very important, with bigger CC fuel consumption more
increasing. The continuously fuel consumption will be caused world energy crises indication, Therefore it is
necessary an effort of alternative energy use in order to create good energy balance. In this research tested and
compared between pure gasoline and hydrogen gas-added fuel (HHO) that result in through water electrolyte
process. From the gas hydrogen (HHO) producer tool testing with vary long variation of electrode, that are : L =
60 mm, and L = 80 mm, d = 15 mm with electrode range of 5 mm. Based on testing analysis that pure gasoline
with volume 10 ml in engine circle of 6000 Rpm, produce effective power 4,7 Hp over within 47,3 seconds. Specific
fuel consumption (Sfc) as 0,116 kg/hp . h, and thermis efficiency as 48,1%. While fuel with volume 10 ml of
hydrogen gas-added fuel (HHO) using electrode L = 60 mm, d = 15 mm with electrode range of 5 mm in engine
circle 6000 Rpm, produce effective power 4,9 Hp over within 66 seconds. Specific fuel consumption (Sfc) as 0,078
kg/hp . h, and thermis efficiency as 71,8%. In engine circle and gasoline volume is same and in similar condition
use electrode L = 80 mm, d = 15 mm with electrode range of 5 mm, resulting in effective power 5,0 Hp over within
64 seconds, Specific fuel consumption (Sfc) as 0,079 kg/hp . h, and thermis efficiency as 70,3%. hydrogen gas-added
fuel (HHO) gained from electrolyte result can be increase engine effective power and engine thermis efficiency as
well as fuel consumption (Sfc).
