Same's been done by adding H2 to petrol.
It's just not efficient to generate it on-board.
Right, but the context of my post was that adding gas vapors to a stock engine, with no other modifications, doesn't make sense. How will the stock computer compensate for it? Will the oxygen sensor even know there are other types of fuel being burnt in the cylinder?

Can the O2 sensor tell that there is H2 being burnt in the cylinder??
