I used a HHO generator for several weeks on my 6 cyl aspirated Nissan diesel engine. The system was constructed with very good inox steel, very hard to work with. It didn't corrode.

No improvement in mileage.

The generation of HHO was so intense, I had to install a 12v pump to allow the gas to get out of the generator, otherwise it got full of gas and cannot generate more. Other problem was exhaustion of water with soda. You have to refill frequently (gas stations don't provide this kkk).

The system consumed electricity, which was provided by the battery, which takes it from the car generator. So this was a direct load and a minus on the energy balance.

Summarizing: from the experimental point of view, the system did not meet my expectations. It does not work as it would have been desirable.

Besides, from the commercial point of view, If the system were efficient, engine builders would have already incorporated it.
