The problem with HHO is the actual energy content in a liter of HHO is equal to the energy in two wood matches. You would have to tow a giant tank of premade HHO to even come close to running the engine.

The conversion losses are abyssmal. It may help in carbureted engines but the cost usually is greater than the gain. Older non computerized diesels may see an improvement which points to a 7.3 liter International turbo replacing the 460 but I would not expect great gains ffrom HHO. Look at the atomic weights of the two elements, the great majority is oxygen. The actual btu energy content is just too low.

Not any flame, just my point of view.
