My visit on April 26 to Reno, Nevada, was a blast because I brought back the details and the documented success story you were waiting for.
The Water4GAs Diesel Book, based on this and previous data, is not ready for publication yet but here is the essence of the information:
Overview
Mr. Jerry Young of Young's Trucking (Sparks, Nevada) developed an adaptation of the popular "6-Pack" system described in my new DVD set. His installation method, based on induced air into an air-tight system, will be described in full details in my upcoming diesel book. Please don't email for details because then I will have to answer 1000's of individual questions instead of writing once for everybody. As promised the book will be released for free, hopefully before May 29.
Young's results - steady on the 18-wheeler with a simple Water4Gas system - are as follows:
From 5.2-5.5 MPG the truck went to 6.6 MPG steady on mountain roads (in the cabin of the truck I got a photo that the computer itself reported 6.7 average mileage). That's at least 20% STEADY improvement, that I estimate has saved him many $1000's during the passing year, in fuel alone.
Mr. Young also reports a 30% increase in power. Without the system he could go 35 MPH maximum uphill with a full 80,000 pound load, now for the same load and the same hill he can climb it at 45 MPH so that's an increase of 30% according to his calculation. It may not be a very scientific calculation of engine power, but from the driver's viewpoint that's all that matters. That much increase in low-end speed saves significant time on the road.
I think it is much more than 30% power boost because the road is very different than an engine bench test and the difference is wind resistance! According to my aerodynamics calculations (I come from aviation) increasing the speed by 30% requires going not just against the hill (gravity) but also against 69% more wind resistance. Young demonstrates in his own way: instead of having to shift down 3 or 4, sometimes 5 gears uphill, he now has to shift down only 1 or 2 gears.
Photo showing the computer's reported mileage 6.7 MPG, today after the system stabilized.
Prior to Water4Gas the average was 5.5 MPG which is normal for this type of truck.
Mr. Young also reports lower maintenance and engine temperature cooler by 10 degrees. Periodically when he changes oil filter (he never has to change the oil itself), he sends an oil sample to the lab and the results proved that the oil is in good shape. Not just clean, but the oil also reserves its viscosity and density. Such periodical lab test is something that the normal family driver doesn't do. I know I don't. But Young's lab results explain the low maintenance costs.
Another factor he could SHOW us is the spanking clean exhaust stacks on his truck (see photo) that in a normal truck get dirty with black soot that is NOT OIL but unburned diesel fuel.
Young waters the system every 500 miles with... regular drinking bottles that he gets for free (rejected bottles/labels) from one of his clients.
It takes 3-5 tankfuls to realize the gains, but no computer changes or any other changes are needed other than properly installing the system. As long as there are no no leaks and loose connections, the system works like a charm. It has to be done right but otherwise very simple once you get to see exactly how he does it.
The new book will give tribute to the manufacturer of the new system (but anybody with basic technical skills can make such a system) and to Young's Trucking.
Same day, after we finished the truck installation, Mr. Young helped us re-install a system on a turbo-diesel car (1.9 liter Jetta similar to mine) in a similar fashion to the truck's system. On the way back to Los Angeles, at high speed, the driver reported good mileage.

If you have anything to add please email me via the contact page. Again, please don't email for technical details because it will all be in the news book. As promised the book will be released for free, hopefully before May 29.
IMPORTANT NOTE: the new diesel book will describe, in full details, how to install the Water4Gas 6-pack system on any large truck ("18 wheeler" or "lorry"). However, this new book will not repeat the construction of the system because it is already described in the new DVD set:
