Hydrogen Conversion Kits - Are They Easy To Fit?

If you're considering halving your gasoline costs by fitting an under-the-hood hydrogen conversion kit you might be wondering how easy it is to build and install.. Well, if you'd had to do all the experimentation and testing that the originators of these systems had to do then it would never be worth your while.

However, the good news is that 95% of the work has already been done for you. The hydrogen conversion kit discussed here is the result of the building and testing of over 200 different installations, each one an improvement on its predecessor.

It means that if you can follow a series of simple instructions and can handle normal hand tools then you should be able to built and fit one of these systems in a relatively short time.

The main bulk of the work is actually done on the kitchen table. Cutting the electrodes to size, bending them appropriately and building the tubing harness can all be done with simple tools and the minimum of effort. Then you need to install it under the hood. The trickiest part is to find a good place to install the water reservoir and to drill the holes to screw it into place. But once that's out of the way, the rest is a breeze of simply connecting up wires and tubes.

The key to getting it to deliver the maximum improvement to your mpg is to take your time, work methodically and don't skimp on parts or testing. If you follow the instructions to the letter then you can't go far wrong. Obtain your parts from the suppliers recommended in the guide and the entire system should cost you less that you'd pay in a restaurant for a meal for four.

There are going to be more and more people using hydrogen conversion kits over the next five years as oil prices continue to rise so there's no reason to delay.

John Richards has been trying to run his car in the face of rising oil prices. He sees the hydrogen conversion kit is seen as a real solution for the impecunious DIYer.
