To do it properly, you'd have to add a wideband O2 sensor, and trick the ECU into running quite lean if the load was low.

Better yet would be to have a wideband, and an ECU with lean cruise built in.


Need proof? Check out this study:

ScienceDirect - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy : Hydrogen enrichment for improved lean flame stability

(i hope that link works)

Alternatively, do a google search for hydrogen fuel enrichment.
Well if you think you've invented a magical free source of hydrogen that doesn't require any energy, I'm sure we would all love to heard about it. Until you do, any benefit gained from the hydrogen will be more than made up for by the additional alternator load. Sorry buddy but there is no free lunch here. Please check your spelling.

Richens up when you punch the peddle, leans out when you suddenly let off. That's fairly normal, and the same would be acceptable in a hydrogen system.
You need to read up on EFI or better yet build an EFI system before you start saying things like this. You have no idea what you're talking about.
