Been thinking about alternative fuel by jontera on Sat Dec 19, 2009 10:05 am
Originally found in a 4x4 mag I was flicking through and eventually here
http://www.milesmoreonwater.co.uk/hydrogen_cars_1.html

Seems to be a decent idea, but would a hydrogen cell be okay (safe) for green laning / offroading?
The main thing that attracts me is that it doesn't require a gert big gas tank to hold fuel in like lpg, just a water tank. It also seems a little too good to be true, just a couple of quid for the catalyst.
I would imgine that there could be a chance of the ecu needing remapping.
the figures for the oval seem pretty good though

I'm wondering if the fronty would be okay with hydrogen, as I believe that LPG (or is it Bio-fuel) and a fronty dont like each other.

sorry if this has been brought up before...please feel free to move/lock if it has been done already.....(forgot to do a search before i started typing)

edit* DOH there are already two pages of threads on this subject...note to self search forum first then search again. Sorry
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes
