The Flex is the first crossover vehicle to provide seats for up to seven persons. The full-size crossover SUV will be part of Fords formidable lineup in the summer of 2008 when the Flex will begin appearing in showrooms across the United States. Mark Fields, Fords president of The Americas, has this to say during the unveiling of the vehicle at the New York Auto Show: ‘The new Ford Flex crossover is a game-changer. Its the first vehicle of its kind that combines seating for seven, interior spaciousness and surprising features with a striking design that looks great on the road and at home for todays modern American families. The Flex builds on Fords leadership in crossover vehicles, which is the fastest-growing part of the auto market today.’ A crossover vehicle is essentially a large vehicle built around a platform of a small car. The advent of crossover is mainly due to the increased prices of gasoline. The public, fearing further increase of gas prices, have turned their backs on gas guzzling SUVs. While there are car buyers content with small cars, there are a huge number of motorists who wants the versatility of large vehicles like SUVs on their vehicles. To address that demand, car manufacturers started developing vehicles with the versatility of a large car and the fuel economy of a small car. Last year, the crossover market outperformed the SUV market for the first time which shows a strong inclination of car buyers towards crossover vehicles. This has lead car manufacturers to increase their lineup of crossover vehicles just like what Ford has done with the Ford Flex. The Ford Flex is characterized by a bold styling which is, of course, common on most large vehicles from Ford. Amenities include an interior refrigerator, second row footrests, an in-car communications and an entertainment system called the Ford Sync. The entertainment system features a 2,300-song personal juke box. Lighting inside the vehicle can be programmed to suit the needs or desire of the passengers. The Flex provides adequate space with its seven seats. Ford has not only taken care of the exterior and interior styling of the Flex but also integrated safety features both active and passive. Consumers have an option of a rear back-up camera which aids drivers when backing down. This feature comes in handy when parking in a tight parking space. Aside from that, the Flex is also equipped with front and side seat mounted air bags. Its safety features also include the AdvanceTrac® technology with RSC or Roll Stability Control®. The anti-lock braking system is also a standard feature and can be further enhanced with the use of EBC brake pads. These features are a great plus for buyers since the Ford Flex is aimed for families and those in that bracket are looking for cars loaded with safety features. The power of the Flex comes from an award-winning 3.5-liter V6 engine capable of producing 260 horsepower and a torque of 245 lb-ft. The engine is coupled to a six-speed transmission. The combination of the engine and the gear box allows the Flex to have a respectable fuel economy for its size.

Book 1, which is the actual User Manual and explains step-by-step how to construct the Water4Gas kit
Book 2, which has additional information related to increasing gas mileage etc
Bonuses - too many to list, but there are tax guides, heaps of other stuff
So Book 1 is about how to make a Water4Gas Kit. It contains 27 Chapters.
Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 are basically introductions and are dedicated to thanks to the contributors and general information and background of the Water4Gas technology. There were a couple of interesting things - it turns out BMW has a water-powered car!
Chapter 5 will tell you exactly what you need to make your Water4Gas Kit. I was pleasantly surprised - looks like the necessary parts can be bought for about $100 bucks. I cant give you exact components, but some of them are a special jar for the vaporizer, tubing and the catalyst component. There are some others, about 12 in total.
Looks like all the components can be bought in the stores near my house. Good
Moving on Chapter 6 explains the benefits that you will realize once you install the Water4Gas kit. Saving an average of 35% on an average persons bill results in roughly $1,200 per annum average savings, so the investment into Water4Gas kit is recouped in about 4 months.
Chapter 7 - teaches you to install the electrolyzer, the critical part that actually produces hydrogen and cools down the engine. It covers all the mechanical details, how to connect it properly and necessary safety measures. This looks like the critical part.
Chapter 8 is about the installation of the Water4Gas vaporizer. It seems that vaporizer is not as difficult as the electrolyzer. One medium size jar of water should last around 1000-3000 miles depending on the car make.
Chapter 9 will show you an alternative setup - instead of using one hydrolizer, you have an option of installing multiple ones. Apparently, Ozzie had a system going with 6 hydrolizers. The benefit was an 18% increase in mileage.
Chapters 10 and 11 - will show how to install and maintain the PCV Enhancer, which basically is the modification of the one that already exists in your car.
Chapter 12 explains how to install the Water4Gas fuel heater - key take from this is not to use the everyday hose for it, but rather a specialized heavy duty connector.
Chapter 13 covers the installation of a MAP sensor enhancer and an oxygen sensor enhancer, and contains pretty good instructions on how to do that.
Chapter 14 is another critical piece, installation of the water charger. Its a proprietory formula and I dont think I can say too much about it, but its awesome, and it will give your mileage a real boost!
