Run Your Car On Water Kits: Pre-built Vs Do-it-yourself

Interesting in converting your vehicle to burn water as well as gasoline but can decide between shelling out some bucks for a pre-built hho unit or attempting to make the hydrogen generator yourself using a diy system.

The truth is, while buying a pre-made hydrogen fuel cell generator system may seem like an attractive choice at first, there is a hidden downside that you can completely avoid by using a quality do-it-yourself water hybrid conversion system.

Besides the fact that it's more expensive, the main problem is the quality and longevity of pre-made hho devices. The reason for this is that this whole water hybrid conversion craze is moderately new. It's also a highly unregulated industry created by do-it-yourselfers. When purchasing one of these pre-built hho devices, you don't really know what to expect long term.

Sure some work well for a while, but what happens in 2 months from now when parts start to come loose and corrode. If you can't control how the unit is built, you can't control the unit's quality, which is the number one reason why most of these devices break after only a few months.

Think about it. In such a new industry, why would the makers of these hho gas conversion kits spend the extra money and time to make sure your unit lasts past 3 months. The reality is, it's an unregulated market and they really don't have to.

This is why I believe it is a much better option to just stick to a high quality, proven do-it-yourself water for fuel system. One that allows you to control the quality of the hho generator unit yourself while saving you lots of money initially and in the long run.

However, if you still insist on taking your chances with pre-assembled ready-to-install hydrogen fuel cell generators, make sure you're getting a quality unit by asking the following important questions first!

1: How Many Stainless Steel Plates Does The Unit Use In It's Plate Stack?

Quality hydrogen generator kits (with high output and great efficiency) use 16 plates in the plate stack which must be sanded down with 36 grit sandpaper first. Settling for anything less is like settling for saving 20% gas rather than 50%. It's your choice. (Also insure plate grade is 308, 316 or higher.)

2: Are The Electrical Connectors And Wires In The Electrolyzer Properly Insulated With Heavy Duty Shrink Tubing?

Some of these pre-made gas conversion kits only wrap the electrical collections (emerged in water) in electrical tape or liquid tape. In order for the interior electrical connections to be safe (and last a while) both of the above insulators should be used followed by heavy duty shrink tubing. Any water powered car kits or devices that don't do this might work ok for now but may not be functional for very long.

3: Does The Unit Shut Off Automatically When You Turn The Engine Off?

This is a must-have safety requirement of any good hydrogen fuel generator. Find out from the seller if the device stops operating when you shut your car off. All good hydrogen car conversion kits should include this feature and not just use a toggle switch to turn the unit on and off manually which can come with the risk of causing an explosion.

4: Has The Unit Been Properly Sealed And Will It Stay That Way?

If the vital parts of these hydrogen fuel generators are not sealed (and resealed) properly, they will leak. As a result your vehicle loses power, you waist more gas and it can eventually damage your engine. Often the creators of pre-made hho gas devices can skimp on the automotive goop "so to speak" or not take all the necessary secondary "sealing" precautions needed to insure the unit stays sealed even under extreme conditions and well into the future.

As you can see, there is a good reason why the automotive hydrogen generator market is a do-it-yourself industry at this time in history. It's because, until these types of gas conversion kits are embraced by mainstream manufacturing, YOU must control the level of quality put into one of these things yourself (in order to be safest and in order to have a long lasting unit.) If you don't, you could be throwing away your money and risking harming your vehicle, yourself and your passengers.

The good news is, you can easily built a long lasting hho unit and water power your car properly! Just make sure to follow the advice given above when considering any pre-built or diy system and you'll do ok.
