Converting your car to run on water is proven to lower fuel costs, increase mileage - and help the environment.
But, up until recently, it was also pretty expensive - the only way to convert your car to water was to get it done professionally, which could cost as much as $2,500. Even stand-alone conversion kits can sell for as much as $600.
Luckily, the last six months has seen a crop of conversion-kit guides, which show how to convert your car to water yourself - using low cost materials, and with little or no technical knowledge required.
We reviewed 11 water fuel kits - only 3 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 Choice Run Your Car On Water
Run Your Car On Water
"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 at 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.
August 2008 Update : there is now a promotion running on the site, and it is temporarily available for $49 instead of $297 - as such, we recommend ordering sooner rather than later.
The Verdict: Fast and easy setup; works for complete car novices; proven fuel savings of upto 40% - our top pick
Highly Recommended
2. Water 4 Gas
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 systems 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, but we found the directions a little harder to follow - and since ease of use is so important, we decided to knock off a star.

3. fuel tips
Fuel Trips is our third and final pick, and it actually includes 3 separate courses to help you create your own fuel efficiency system.
They report upto 65% fuel efficiency increases - and again, the guide was presented in a clear and easy-to-follow format.
The difference between this and the other two sites was simple, however - my support ticket was not responded to. A full, hands-on support system is vital if a relative "car novice" is to install the technology, and here unfortunately it just wasn't there.

Water Fuel Cells For Cars - Top 7 Fuel Boosting Benefits
Are you gripped by the spiraling oil prices which seem to have no end in sight? Oil prices are unlikely to return to the low levels of yesterday. But there is hope for drivers who are bent on giving oil companies a run for their money. You may have heard of the use of water fuel cells for cars. Reports of this technology have been rife in the media and on the Internet, and have been quietly shaking up the alternative fuel industry. There are many great benefits of assembling and installing a water fuel cell. You can run your car on water, almost literally.
The following are the top 7 benefits. Water fuel cells are also getting very popular for the same reasons.
1. It is very easy to build and install one. With a good set of plans and instructions available from the Internet, you can get one up and running in less than a day, for less than $100.
2. This technology works well with any gas or diesel-powered vehicle.
3. The installation is completely reversible and no one can detect it unless you tell them so. This also means your car's warranty will remain intact.
4. The fuel cell produces hydroxy gas (also known as Brown's Gas). When introduced into your car's engine intake, it supplements gasoline to provide a highly efficient fuel mix. and significantly enhances fuel efficiency. Many drivers are reporting between 50% to 80% increase in MPG.
5. An increase in MPG also means huge savings in gas costs. Many car owners who use this technology are saving thousands of dollars per year. You are also eligible to claim IRS rebates on your "green car", which means even greater savings!
6. The highly efficient fuel mixture removes carbon build-up in the engine and provides cleaner emissions. You save money and the environment at the same time.
7. The lifespan of your vehicle will increase, simply because its engine runs more efficiently and smoothly.
You only need to pay a small upfront investment to assemble and install a water fuel cell for your car. But the benefits are aplenty. You can easily recover your initial investment within a few trips to the gas stations, and you can potentially save $1000s per year. Talk about value for money!
