    Aerogas...

    Good investment po ba to? kasi nakita ko last nite sa AutoFocus ch 4 ang baba naman nung number nag emission test yung diesel engine, tapos pati pajero nawala yung mga usok nila pag kalagay

    kaya lang po ang mahal huhuhu 6,500 pesos

    you can build one yourself with some time with a drill-press & lathe machine.

    Hmmm, sir paano po yon? ano yung nasa loob nito?

    hehe mono po ako kasi di ako mekaniko lols...pero I have good mechanic :D

    the basic principle of AEROGAS is to lean out your air-fuel mixture going to your cylinders. The device is to create a small flow of air AFTER the air flow sensor of the engine. AEROGAS, hence, is simply a hole in your engine intake hose.

    If you want to make one to look somewhat like the AEROGAS device, just get a 6 inch length x 2.5 inch diameter of solid metal rod... it doesn't matter if its aluminum, steel, brass, etc (wag lang iron kasi rust lang). Drill a 3/4 inch hole at the center and goes along the 6 inch length and stopping about 1/2 to 1 inch from the other end. Using smaller drill bits, make several small holes. Get a hose fitting & some hose. Thread the fitting into the 3/4 inch drilled hole. Somehow attach the hose to the engine intake hose. SO now, you have your own "homemade" AEROGAS device. If you want to make it better, insert some metal mesh inside it to give some filtering ability.

    The cheaper "aerogas"... get the crankcase filter of K&N and attach it somehow to the engine intake hose after the air sensor.

    ganito lang ba kadali gawin? bat sa ads sinasabi na meron daw refill ng gas element after 3 years yata... hmmm ine-endrose pa naman ng isuzu imus ang aerogas na ito.

    ghosthunter, have you tried making one already?

    sir nandun ka rin ba nung lagyan yun troper na 2002 model sa imus cavite..............ine endorse ba talaga to ng isuzu cavite sabagay bakit sila pumapayag na dun sa casa nagkabit yun aero gas sa troper ng client nila.................

    Devices similar to Aerogas have never lived up to their claims when challenged by the Federal Trade Commission.

    I guess this is one reason they are being dumped here.

    Like most dealerships, Isuzu Imus has a free hand to sell 'accessories' and other stuff to their clients. This is one way for them to make money.

    I haven't made one but I have machine-shop experience and I have examined an AEROGAS unit very closely.

    Refill element after 3 years? I guess the internal filter needs to be replaced because it would be clogged with dirt by then... then they charge you some money for the "service"... basically return clients (suckers).

    Our company tested the "Aerogas" Catalytic Combustor but unfortunately it did not live to its claims of lesser emissions. We also tested another device, the Exhaust Gas Oxidizer (EGO) of Mr. Alegre, and his device really works. There is a noticeable increase in engine power (about 5 - 8%) and fuel savings of about 15% and the smoke really was minimized/gone in about 1 - 3 minutes! The tests were done in a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser (Prado) which was really a smoke-belching vehicle before EGO was installed.

    The device is called ALEGRE EXHAUST GAS OXIDIZER (EGO) invented/designed by Mr. Adolfo Alegre who came up with this anti-smoke belching device using the principle of VENTURI EFFECT (used in the designs of rockets). The device is attached to the muffler where it sucks out all impurities (like a vacuum cleaner), promote more complete fuel combustion, increase engine HP and guaranteed to reduce emission within minutes after installation! The effect is like having a rocket-powered engine.

    I've been reading his stupid posts for quite a while now, but I'll try refuting him for the first time.

    Do you know what is the principle of the rocket engine? Well let us start first with combustion. For combustion to take place, there must be three things present:

    a.) Oxygen
    b.) Combustible(s) (aka Fuel)
    c.) Heat (needed for the chemical reaction i.e. combustion to take place)

    Most engines, like the internal combustion car engine for example, use the atmosphere's air to get the oxygen it needs. The difference between a rocket engine and the usual engine is that rocket engines have their own supply of oxygen (aside from fuel), therefore they don't need the atmosphere's air to burn fuel. That is why they are used in outer space, because there is no air to burn there!!

    Now, about the venturi effect. The venturi effect is restricting the flow of fluids to increase their velocity (in this case, it's air). Sure, they're used in rocket engines, but that doesn't mean anything that uses the venturi effect is a rocket engine.

    Oh by the way on a related note, the venturi effect is what creates the vacuum inside your engine (through the restriction of air via the throttle). When the engine is idling or at part throttle, the air velocity increases but it creates a vacuum inside the engine since there is less air pressure than the outside air. Devices including 'standard' stuff under the hood) use this vacuum. Khaos and other airbleed devices use this vacuum to draw air into the engine to make the mixture lean. At full throttle, there is actually little or no benefit since there is almost no restriction at the throttle and the pressure inside and out of the engine are almost equal! In fact, in turbocharged engines there is positive atmospheric pressure inside the engine therefore air would actually be coming out of the air-bleed device enriching the mixture in your engine!

    sounds like one of those "As Seen On TV" advertisements. Super-hyped up yung mga claims... and the people there parang on-drugs sila... high na high! :D
