IS IT SAFE?

Yes! Although Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, it is only produced when the ignition is switched on and it is fed into the engine and burned immediately (this technology is some-times referred to as Hydrogen on Demand for that reason). Even in the unfortunate case of a collision, there is no extra risk of explosion because there is no hydrogen “tank” to ignite. Any unburned gas that did escape (this could only be the tiny amount held within the inlet pipe) would disperse immediately as hydrogen is seven times lighter than air.

WILL IT AFFECT MY MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY?

A Hydrocharger installation is completely reversible - it can be removed at any time and there is no permanent change to the vehicle’s settings or performance. In a sense it is no different to your deciding to use high octane fuel. Having said that, it is almost always stated in the small print that any alteration at all may invalidate your warranty. The manufacturer will be camapigning to get Hydrocharger “Approved” status with as many manufacturers as possible in the coming months.
