You say  that what you have set up is electrolysis.  I would agree that
getting  enough fuel out of electrolysis aboard a vehicle is literally a
"fool's  errand."  One would (1) consume more energy than the fuel would deliver,
and (2) the batteries required would fill up the vehicle.  So I am quite
confused as to (1) what relationship the device you have set up is to what
the  original poster is talking about, and (2) whether what the original
poster is  talking about has much to do with reality, given that industry has
spent ages  and tons of money working to come up with workable fuel cells for
application,  while this guy says he is doing it in his garage and plans to
install it on  his Vanagon.  Interesting ...............  .

hey guys there was a guy that had this setup in a bay window that came to
high country campout every year. Hads it in there for years , seemed to work
but  only as an additive to the system, not for running oN competely. said
it did  increases if fuel mileage.   seems like water injection would
probably  work just about the same. bunch of guys are running the water injection
on their  aircooled vannie and showing a decrease in the head temps.  later
