As gas prices continue to raise the bar, clever people are seeking out new ways to improve their fuel economy. Although there are a lot of little things you can do such as getting a tune–up and changing your air filter, hydrogen car kits can supplement your gasoline usage and result in cleaner emissions while saving you a good bit of money at the pump.

Hydrogen car kits works by generating a special hydrogen/oxygen gas mixture from regular tap water. This special gas is known as HHO gas and has been used for over a century to power lamps, torches, and metallurgy ovens. More recently, people have discovered that you can use the combustible gas to supplement gasoline usage. Hydrogen car kits make all this possible by creating hydrogen on demand.

Most hydrogen car kits use regular tap water held in a small reservoir underneath the hood. Using electrolysis, the water is then converted in the HHO gas form, and bubbles up to the top. A vacuum hose carries the gas towards the engines intake, where it later mixes with air and fuel in the combustion chamber of the engine. Most people using hydrogen car kits have either an off/on switch, or continuous power when the engine is running. Personally I prefer the ladder, as you never have to remember to turn it off or on.

Although there aren't any commercial hydrogen car kits available at this time, you can build your own in less than a couple hours using standard parts from your local hardware store. The parts are inexpensive and the process of installing the systems are pretty straightforward.

I strongly suggest following one of the several guides available if you have never installed a hydrogen car kit before. Since there alot of options available, I've compiled a review of the Top 3 Guides so you can decide which guide is right for you.
