You'll notice that oxygen and hydrogen are together in the same tank. That's a BOMB, just waiting for an ignition source. Even static within the tank enclosure. The effect of that can be very easy to demonstrate for yourself. Take two balloons and an industrial cutting torch. Fill one with the gas, then light the torch and bring it to a neutral flame. Without changing any adjustments, douse the flame and use that to blow up the second balloon. Of course, tie off the balloons. Then take two paper shopping bags. Run a little candle wax down the side of each and put one balloon in each.
Then set them in a large open area...
like a PLOWED FIELD with no dry grass. Light them. The one with only the gas will simply burn. But you will get a VERY LOUD
BANG out of the other one. And, the larger the balloon, the bigger the
BANG
In a car, that simply blows out the filter but in a truck, you'd better be carrying a few spares of those rubber couplings for the air ducts from your turbo to your intake. A few sets of clamps as well. With a Cummins, you may have a 500 horse, but blow one of them and lose turbo pressure and you may as well have a BRIGGS & STRATTON under your hood.
At the same time, the company in Canada that makes them, which start at $14,000 a copy, claims a 5% increase in fuel economy and a 30% reduction in solid particle matter in the exhaust. But it seems to me that you would really want your intake valves to be in excellent condition with NO LEAKAGE.
