There is some basis to effectively using this so called HHO gas.

But it is not as simple as the video portrays. You will need to be able to control your fuel and ignition timing. You will need to have an efficient electrolysis device that is controlled to produce your gas as needed. You will be able to only use this tune in lightly loaded regimes. Your emissions will change. On and on.

There is basis, just not a practical basis most Ecomodders can use.

This is for spark ignited gasoline powered engines.

Diesel engines are another story altogether.
