Mercedes-Benz has released at least two prototypes which had on-board methanol reformators to turn it into Hydrogen.

Methanol is actually quite simple, even inmates can make it at jail, as it often happens in Brazil when inmates attempt to make some sort of booze known as "Maria Louca" (Crazy Mary) but when fermentation is not so accurately controlled they accidentally turn it into methanol.
