Fuel converter

A fuel converter was a device that allowed starship captains to forego the expense of buying new fuel cells or refueling. Fuel converters converted other materials, including waste material and methane, into fuel. Three types were in general use; Solid Fuel Converters, Scoops, and Solar Converters.

Fuel converters were parts used in podracers and were used in trades. In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn acquired a fuel converter to trade for parts for Anakin Skywalker's podracer.
