A 1979 Buick Century sedan with a 3.8-l (231-in. exp 3 ) displacement turbocharged V-6 engine and automatic transmission was converted to operation on hydrogen supplied to the engine from a liquid-hydrogen tank installed in the trunk of the car. The liquid-hydrogen tank is refilled using a semi-automatic refueling station designed to be operated by personnel with minimal training. The Buick has a fuel economy corresponding to 8.9 km/l (21 miles/gal.) of gasoline and a range of 274 km (170 miles) in the high altitude area of Los Alamos, New Mexico. (ERA citation 06:005044)
