ROFL!
Thread over.

I'm not sure where samwichse got the idea from that I compared diesel fuel to 1L of uncompressed gaseous HHO.
I only said that "I assumed you'd get about half the range of an electric car", given that you have high efficiency losses when generating HHo gas from a battery.
Also, I don't get why some of you seem to think that I need to store this amount of (uncompressed) gas in a single go onboard the vehicle. I wouldn't be using tanks remember, I would be generating it via an on-demand system (electrolyser). So I don't need to store much HHO gas at all.

Yes. I came to the same conclusion.
See

I think the best option here is just to mix plain hydrogen (not HHO) with a regular fuel in the combustion chamber. That doesn't clean up the exhaust emissions completely, but at least partially. So it would be an improvement, and I don't need to install a spark plug.

Oh right, one more thing:

With a conversion, I mean you would have an existing (working) Diesel vehicle you'd convert. So you don't need to buy a new Diesel engine, exhaust system, ... then.
