Interesting. I need to have more 1st hand experience with this stuff. My only test came from me buying an overpriced underengineered unit and then strapping it on my Jeep (not diesel yet). It has a stripped interior, no air conditioning and lexan windows except the windshield. It now weighs 3360 pounds. Anyways the unit's glue gave way and it started leaking a brown (toxic? I think you need to bring the used water to a hazardous waste site) liquid. I sawed the thing in half so I could see what was going on in there.

My other truck is a 1987 Ford F-250 diesel. I think it will be easier to experiment on this truck since it is all mechanical (fuel injection and transmission). I finally got it running well almost.

This company sells spark ignited hydrogen engines.

This company sells Cryogenic Natural Gas Storage Delivery.

CNG is CH4 pretty much hydrogen. Its easy to make a diesel CNG hybrid. Hopefully its easy to make a Diesel Hydrogen hybrid.

I wonder what the difference is between burning diesel/cng and diesel/hydrogen?

Having hydrogen stored as water is so tempting. The holy grail.
