Of greater concern, would be how you dispose of your "used" electrolyte when you do change it out. I have been giving this some thought, and if anyone is going to be able to successfully market these "boosters" as an aftermarket technology to the general public, will have to address this as a public safety concern. Because something like this would be exactly what the OIL Companies will use to convince the DOT and EPA that this technology is unsuitable for mass use.
I guess someone is going to have to spring for "Platinum Plates" and start testing all over again. Actually, can you get platinum plated plates... if the platinum does not react with the electrolyte, the plating could be pretty thin and would certainly reduce costs considerably over solid platinum plates.
Alternatively, what if we could prove that the level of haxavalent chromium that made its way out the exhaust pipe was within EPA and public health tolerances and we had an EPA approved disposal method for used electrolyte????? Would this satisfy the safety concern?
I guess the real determining factor in this scenario is the "average" gain experienced at the pump for those with boosters versus the cost of the disposal of the spent electrolyte.
Thoughts?
