Convert your car to run on watergas is a proven way to lower your fuel costs, increase gas mileage, and help clean the environment. Until recently, it was also pretty costly - the only way to convert your car to watergas was to get it done professionally, which could cost as much as $3,000. Even stand alone conversion kits can sell for as much as $500.
Within the last six months we have seen a crop of conversion kit guides, which show you how to convert your car to watergas - using low cost materials, and with little or no technical knowledge required.
We decided to sit down and review these new guides - our key criteria were ease-of-use, affordability of materials, and speed of installation.
Overall, we were pleasantly suprised with the results - the technology evidently does work and if you pick the right guide, you could be well up and running within a few hours.
We reviewed 12 watergas kits - only 2 met our criteria:
Sizeable Fuel Savings - at
least 40% more fuel efficiency
Fast and Easy Setup - in
only a few hours, even for novices
Affordable Set-Up Cost (well
under $100)
Our Top 2 Picks
1. "Still the best Water Fuel Kit in 2008..."
By far the easiest-to-follow guide we came across - our own experience says you should set aside maybe half a day to buy the parts and get fully installed.
This is the only guide that assumes absolutely no knowledge of cars. Impressively, our support ticket was responded to in under an hour (although it could take a little longer during weekends) and there is an unconditional 8 week guarantee.
Best of all, the technology required is readily available and cheap. We were able to access all the parts needed for well under $50. Given that its proven to increase fuel efficiency by as much as 40%, you could well recoup your investment in under a week.
Installation works with any gas or diesel powered car, van, truck, or SUV. Aimed squarely at car "novices" and still our top pick for 2008.
The Verdict: Fast and easy setup; works for complete car novices; proven fuel savings of up to 40% - our top pick.
Our second pick uses the same technology as our top pick - and again, we were impressed by the fast support, money-back guarantee, and low setup costs.
The guide includes two bonuses - how to get the IRS to pay for your upgrade and how to make $300 an hour installing the system for others, arguably worth the cost of the guide on their own.
All in all, its a great package which means you can be enjoying massive fuel savings for very little, very quickly. So why only four stars?
Well, perhaps we were spoiled by our top pick and we found the directions a little harder to follow and since ease of use is so important, we decided to knock off one star.
