In certain cases it is possible to modify the motor to run on kerosene fuel as well instead of petrol. In most countries kerosene is widely available and cheaper than petrol. Tests in Madagascar have shown a reduction of the running cost of 25% with kerosene and a reduction of 60% of the running cost in comparison with a petrol pump-set available on the local market.

- Easy to transport. <br>
- Consumes 50% less fuel compare to traditional pumps, so twice as much water for the same amount of fuel. <br>
