A small system like that will never produce that much increase in mileage. It is not possible. I have done research on this and am going to build a strictly Hydrogen powered 4 cylinder motor to try. It can get dangerous though, but those little systems can be added to to make larger ones but you may want to keep it to a minimum since you are essentially running water through your motor which likes to rust things. You will gain some though so go for it, just dont buy those kits online. You can make your own.

i was planning on making my own but am iffie about it i guess the milleage increase would depend on how you dry the info online says it basically use the unburnt fuel from you exhaust don't know how it works exactly just wanted some more info if it would be worth trying or if anyone has ever done it my brother in laws neighbor is gonna try it on his new colarado so i'll see how it works
