Fuel Cell system for ODBII vehicles, is it for you?

I'm not selling these, but will be getting one for our Nissan X-Trail as we drive the crap out of it.
But also checking to see if it can integrate into my 92 SVX, I think not, but maybe an ODBII SVX will connect up.

Anyway, have a peek:

Here's an email I received in the last Month, just an FYI, not sure how much of it is just Hype, but to me, the technology makes sense.

Dear Chris Gooderham, Hello from Dutchman Enterprises. We appreciate your having taken the time atsome time in the past to request a quote for a PICC for one or morevehicles(s). We were concerned about EPA issues with the technology originally,but we have re-designed around those considerations and we are no longerconcerned about our special catalytic converter qualifying with the EPA. Withgas prices rising as they have, other large interests have been looking forsolutions to some of their problems and we have discovered a common interest inhelping the American car manufacturers get back to doing what they do best…make the kind of vehicles Americans want. The door has opened for us to betterserve the American consumers. We have some extremely important news. Ford andDutchman have been talking and Ford finally gave permission for Dutchman totell the public what is going on. This last weekend, a Ford executive spentseveral hours speaking to the dealers involved in distributing the DutchmanEnterprises automotive technologies at their annual dealers convention.Dutchman Enterprises can now announce that the initial meeting withrepresentatives of Ford Motor Company went very well and both parties areexcited about testing the HAFC and PICC and for the potential of improving fueleconomy for American automobiles. The initial reaction of the Ford team involvedwas excitement and enthusiasm over the potential of both the HAFC and the PICC.Discussions have begun about both companies partnering together to furtherdevelop these technologies. Dutchman Enterprises received a letter from the engineer that is heading up theFord team to test the HAFC. In that letter from Corporate Headquarters inDearborn Michigan, the leading engineer wrote, “the (HAFC) concept makes goodsense.” There have been critics at large who have challenged the idea of watergas and called it a scam technology, but one has to consider the fact that noone knows more about automobiles and what makes sense relating to them than theengineers who design and build them. This same engineer, in the same letter,wrote, “We are also excited about the potential of the PICC technology.”Ford is discussing getting involved because these technologies make sense.Their testing is supposed to be over on or around October 1st, and theexecutive that addressed the dealers gave everyone the impression it was goingwell. They have even asked for more units and that is a good sign. Mr. Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company, was interviewed on CNBC on the12th of September, and he told the reporter that there are some interestingthings happening in the alternative fuels area. He said, “Hydrogentechnologies, involving water, offer some incredible opportunities to dosomething with the engines we already have.” That is not a statement aboutregular Hydrogen Fuel Cells, which do not operate with current engines. It isreasonable to assume he is talking about water gas injection and theHydro-Assist Fuel Cells, which his people are currently testing. Of course, Dutchman Enterprises is excited about the prospects of partneringwith Ford Motor Company and their thousands of Ford dealers all across the USAand throughout the world. Not to mention the engineering and research prospectsfor developing the PICC to it’s full potential. It is not hard to see why Fordwould want to be able to get 50% (or even 30%) better mileage out of theirexisting SUVs and Pickup trucks. It could save the US auto industry to be ableto develop the PICC within a year or so to be able to get 100 miles per gallonor better (city and highway) with future SUVs and Pickups. Both of thesetechnologies have world wide patent protection owned by Dutchman Enterprises. What does this mean to you? It is time to seriously consider getting your HAFCkit on order NOW. The Ford executive mentioned that he thought our prices weretoo low and that they should be double what we are currently charging. I guesshe is right, because we were charging the same price we currently charge forthe kit when gas prices were half what they are now. When Ford comes in thatwill most likely change. The demand will also go through the roof! Just tomodify the Ford vehicles will involve 60 million cars. A word to the wise, getyour HAFC on order. The PICC will most likely not be on the market for anotheryear or so. Ford will want to develop it with new car designs in mind, whileDutchman Enterprises will absolutely insist on an after market version as well,but that will delay it for well over a year down the road. In the meantime, canthere be any doubt now that the concept of the HAFC is sound and can improvefuel economy? You have the benefit of being able to get a little ahead of thecurve while the price is half what it will be and while there is not a waitinglist as long as the gas lines in the 70s. As, we are sure, you have already discovered, we have assigned a customerservice representative, who works for one of our dealers, to you. If you haveany questions about this message, please contact Manager, your customerservice representative, using this email address, support@preignitioncc.com. Let ourrepresentative do his or her best to answer all your questions and get yourHAFC kit in process. One report we recently read made the point that by merelyincreasing the mileage of vehicles in America by a mere 30% we could eliminateour need for ANY of the middle Eastern oil! Can you imagine what we can do forAmerica and American car manufacturers just by installing the HAFC kits now?When Ford joins us, we will be able to put a LOT of people back to work andstop this fossil fuels insanity. With their help, our PICC will be all that itcan be, and all American car manufacturers can get us all the cars and pickuptrucks we want with no concern for fuel costs or pollution. This is the answerwe are all looking for. Thank you for your support in this effort. If you have any questions about this announcment, please contact your customerservice representative who is Manager using the his email address,support@preignitioncc.com. Dedicated to a safe, environmentally sound, and prosperous America, Dennis Lee (CEO-Dutchman Enterprises, LLC) P.S. Please do not respond to this email address because we do not monitor itfor incoming email. If you need to contact someone, please contact yourcustomer service rep and/or dealer.
