There was at least one French who moved to my state and claimed to make a "reactor" to use a blend of water and ethanol to extract the hydrogen. This project was surrounded by a lot of mistery, but the fewer reports about it haven't been so outstanding at all. In the end, considering ethanol as a "conventional" fuel due to its widespread use in Brazil at the time, it might have worked in a way quite similar some sort of water injection, simply allowing to lean down the air-fuel ratio.
