Let me begin this post by saying, "Do not buy a HHO Fuel Heater from Hydro-Booster!"
Now, let me tell you why.
On July 31, 2008, I purchased a fuel heater from Charles J. .Armsterd, the owner/publisher/promoter of Hydrogen Boost. Charles Armsterd tries to give the impression that he is a religious person by using terms like, "Be Blessed" and "Have a Blessed Day". I was very much less than blessed when his fuel heater arrived.
The fuel heater looked like something that was made in a High School Shop class by some kid that really has no clue how to make ash trays let alone something that is supposed to fit on an automobile.
In addition to the HHO fuel heater being poorly constructed it was also far too small to fit in the radiator hose as Armsterd had promised. The standard sizes for radiator hoses are 1.25", 1.5", 1.75" and 2.25" O.D. The Hydro Booster heater checks in at a disappointing .5" for the inlet and outlet ports and a mere 1" for the body of the unit, a far cry from anything that would work on even the smallest of radiator hoses. As you can see from this image, the inlet port is smaller than a nickle coin., far from the appropriate size for a radiator hose.
This image clearly shows the vast difference in size between the radiator hose on my 1968 Ford F-100 pickup and the Hydro Boost HHO Fuel Heater.
I sent Charles Armsterd an email explaining my dissatisfaction with his product, to which he chose not to respond. I filed a complaint with PayPal in an attempt to recove the money that I spent on a totally worthless HHO Inline Fuel Heater. The PayPal action was refused because PayPal does not cover "Item not as described" claims on purchases made outside of eBay. Perhaps that is why Charles insisted that I contact him before I made any purchases and asked that I send the payment directly to his account, circumventing the eBay process.
To say that Charles Armsterd is a SCAMMER might be going too far. As say that his website Hydro Boost/Hydro Booster is a SCAM might be going too far, but to say that he is selling inferior products and misrepresenting them (at least to me) would be right on the mark. If you think that selling HHO Products in this manner constitutes a scam or fraud then I cannot argue with you.
I would ask you thhis question, before you decide to purchase anything from this person; if someone will lie to you about a $75 HHO Fuel Heater can you trust them enough to spend over $1,000.00 on their HHO Systems?
Here are some images of the HHO Fuel Heater from Hydro Boost:
UPDATECharles Armsterd sent me email this evening and called me an idiot for not being able to install his worthless HHO Fuel Heater. Since I don't take being called an idiot lightly I decided to document a little demonstration on how installing this piece of junk is impossible.

If you would like a place to buy REAL, professionally built HHO Fuel Heaters check out the items listed below. Not only are they much better constructed but they are built in the sizes that will actually FIT an automobile hose.
Here is what a REAL Inline Fuel Heater looks like:
If you will notice, a REAL HHO Fuel Heater comes in a variety of sizes. This is because automobile heater hoses come in a variety of sizes. Hydro-Boost and Charles Armsterd are shipping their "heaters" in a size far too small to work on ANY vehicle. If you click through you will also notice that the price on these properly sized, powder coated heaters are much less expensive than those offered by Armsterd. That makes me REALLY question whether their HHO Systems are worth the $1,000.00+ price they are asking.
