Can somebody explain the ratio at which the Fuel Converter converts damage into fuel_ I was doing the math assuming 100 damage -> 1% converter -> 1L fuel. Hypothetically, if I put a 2slot converter on my Berserker and got into a fight where I took 360 damage, I'd get 7.2L fuel. That's less than 10% of my 92L tank - what is that,  .75 seconds of boost_ 1 airdodge_ That's in a situation where I essentially maximized its use too. It seems to me that many other options outweigh that - Deflectors, Extractor, Repair Kit, even Failsafe seem like they can have a far more noticeable effect on a fight.

Why, then, is Fuel Converter so popular_ Does it actually give more fuel than I think it does_ I feel like it's the second most commonly recommended internal apart from Air Compressor.

i thought i'd figured this out ages ago but i can't remember it or maybe i never did figure this out O.o
It's pretty useful depending on play-style, but less important than before since dodging no longer uses fuel since the steam update.
Till someone provides a better explaination, watch this

It gives about three to four times as much as it claims to.

I think that fuel converters should give more of a % like 10-20% instead of its current %.

[Amisto]

the 1% is not that great, I wouldn't recommend it.

fuel 2.0 is only worth running on rocketeer, vengie, and maybe assault.
