hydrogen fuel cell from Dutchman SCAM they dont work. I have one installed on my 2006 Toyota corolla. My car was great it was geting 34 to 38 mpg, but i had some friends who were useing the Fuel cell on there 84 suburban and 95 caravan, They swore it worked and they were both sales reps for Dutchman and a company called Team Everest. I purchased one for my car with claims that it would give me 60 mpg and that not to worry its a money back guarantee. It took 4 months to recieve my fuel cell and i was to take it to a certified Dutchman tech to installation to have it installed properly or it would not be warranteed. After intallation it was producing hydrogen, you get to see the bubbles in the hose as there pumping it into the engine, looks great and give you a feel good but when we took it out for a test the mpg came back at 27 mpg and the engine was knocking and loss in horse power and idle was hard. They said these things will take time and take a bit for the computer to accept the new programing that it was being given and to drive it for a few days and bring it back they can tune it again for free. The engine warning lites came on as i was driving home they said bring it back tomarrow and they would reset it for me and that its just part of the tuneing process. Now to make a long story shorter i have been taking the car in every week for months and it still is not working they say that the computer in my toyota is to smart and that the dutman optimizer cant fuel the car to burn the hydrogen in place of the gas. they have soldered in resisters and they had to replace the throttlebody after the Dutchman installation video and techs told them to drill a hole in my throttlebody, and again a long story short there i am now out 900 for the kit and 850 for the installation and 897 for a new throttlebody and 307 for labor on the part, and they tell me they cant make it work so they said i can get a refund on the kit....900 but i am still out all the time and days off and loss of work time and the damages to the car etc and i get 900 back plus i have to pay to ship the kit back. So if you want to try to see if it works on your car go for it, i say dont do it, and the friends that had there kits and selling them they dont come around anymore and one of there kits stoped working as well. thank you for your time Kip... nofaith@charter.net
