As you may heave heard on TV and the Internet, water fuel technology is taking off due to the increased price of gasoline. Thousands of people have successfully built and installed water fuel systems in their cars, trucks, and SUVs over the past year, some with truly amazing resultsThere are even water fuel expos and conventions around the country where enthusiasts show off their water-powered cars and trucks, and give tips to folks just getting started.

Recently, there have been a number of guides published that show you how to build a system and convert you own vehicle to run on water. While the science is sound, many of these "plans" are poorly-written and difficult to understand. Based on our review of twelve products, only two appeared to be written by people who have actually used the technology on their own vehicle.
These two guides give you full details, installation photographs, step-by-step instructions, and are written by experienced people who actually install water fuel systems for a living. You'll get a parts list and sources for the materials, which cost between $75 and $150.

In general, water fuel systems, or HHO conversion kits as they are sometimes called, are easy to install and the materials are available at the hardware store or online. Follow the simple step by step instructions and you can have your system up and running in a few hours.

A big question many people have is whether they should buy a pre-made kit or build one themselves, and the answer has a lot to do with your mechanical ability.

-*- Buying a pre-made kit from a vendor means you get a self contained unit that's ready to install out of the box. You know it's put together properly and has been tested before shipping. However, these kits cost up to $500.

-*- Making your own kit saves you money, and gets you familiar with the technology, but a few of the parts need to be positioned very carefully to be effective. You may find building your own system takes more time since it'll need to be tested and tweaked.

This wave of alternative fuel sources will only grow as gas becomes more expensive, and people discover more efficient ways of getting from one place to another.
