Buying A Hydrogen Car Kit - Do They Even Work?

By John Michen

Like many people you may be finding it extremely difficult to keep up with the current crazy price of gas. Well you are certainly not alone there. The outrageous costs of fuel for the commute to work where making me really seriously consider either moving the family or getting a new job, both pretty big changes that niether me or my family wanted.

With the rising price of fuel being as it is, I had to start really thinking about how I could minimize my commuting costs. I was thinking pretty seriously about moving the family closer into where I work, or maybe getting a job that was closer to home. I was pretty desperate to find a solution to the problem, and started seeking new ways of finding an alternative, and allowing me to drop my fuel costs. When it comes to buying anything online, I am majorly old fashioned. I have troube even buying a book on Amazon, thats how scared I am of it. So if I was going to even think of investing in any sort of "DIY guide" then I was going to do some research first. To see what other's experiences have been like with.

I always, always research something, if I decide to break out from my old fashioned ways and actually want to invest in something over the internet. So I did some pretty thorough research on the term hydrogen conversion car kits in Google, and looked at articles, blogs and forum threads on the subject. The feedback seemed pretty good, so I felt safe about it.

So I went and got me a copy of one of the guides. My trust in buying online in this case was increased by the fact that the guide came with an 8 week money back guarantee, which mixed with my desperation to start saving money on fuel costs, really just pushed me over the edge. I was pleased upon downloading and skipping through the ebook guide, to see that is was well laid out and put together in a pretty good format, and was easy to understand.

From reading the guide I was quite impressed to find that the actual kit is made up from rather basic components, things like tubing and valves that you would use for a washing machine. You will be able to find the parts locally, unless of course you live in a very remote area. For me I was able to find everything that I needed just at the local hardware store, in fact I actually found some of the more basic parts just lying in my shed, which was a nice bonus. Looking at the system from the perspective of someone who is not particularly knowledgable when it comes to DIY stuff, I would have to say that on the most part the kit was pretty easy to put together. There were one or two things that I got a little bit stuck on, but the customer service was really good for the guide that I bought, and they got me through any hiccups pretty via email.

I really suggest that for anyone who is going to go ahead and install the hydrogen car conversion kit, that you give yourself a big chunk of time in which you can get the job done, with no outside distractions about. At the end of the day of setting up the kit, I have to tell you that I was filthy, smelly and I had one hell of an aching back. But despite all that I was really anxious and excited to get it going and test it out. It was time to turn the ignition and see was this baby could do.

I turned the ignition and............. yeah, it started up. No smoke, no flames, well so far anyway. I gave it some good revving. Wow, this thing actually makes your car sound healthier than it usually does. I was relieved and impressed to put it mildly. Obviously I needed to do a bit more thorough testing, so I pulled out of the driveway, and headed for a spin out on the town. It was a funny moment, I kind of had a new excitment to driving, a bit like when you first get your license, you know that feeling. Well after driving around a bit grinning wildly, and probably looking like a loon, the car seemed to working just fine, completely normal, and in fact sounding really good. More relief.

I must say that it was pretty exciting having this thing set up. It kind of added a whole new level to what is normally just driving. The results from my little test drive, where quite impressive, the car seemed to be running just fine, in fact really good. After using the converted engine for quite some time now, I can say that the results are even more impressive than originally thought. As far as actual money that I am saving on fuel, its just fantastic. I have been saving around the 60 quid a week for the last few months on fuel, added up over the whole year, that is just huge for us.

So overall the savings potential of using a hydrogen car conversion kit in your car is absolutely fantastic, I just can not say enough about it. If I think about how much I will be saving over the next coming years, it really does add up to be a huge amount, well within the thousands range. On top of the amazing amount of dosh that I have saved using the kit, I feel really good about it in terms of the environmental aspect aswell. I am not a really big environment buff or anything, but I am aware of the current state of the planet, and how our driving has a massive impact on it. Apart from these factors, we should also consider the state of the worlds current oil supply. It certainly is not getting any larger, and this is going to insure the continous increase in fuel costs, and evenually even more serious implications.
