Water vapor is one of the main byproducts of burning gasoline, so in theory it shouldn't make any difference to the O2 sensors.
It's now a non-issue for this gizmo, but standard-issue Brown's Gas is the splitting of H2O into H2 and O2. If you make an HHO generator, you will be generating a mixture of H2 and O2 like so :

H2O ... H2O => electrolysis => H2 ... H2 ... O2
