I seem to see alot of theory and speculation here about why these dont work but I see no proof to back them up. I'm not trying to get into debate about theory and the what if side of things. But I know a few people that have built some and had great results. I woulld think that a forum full of adults would be able to be open to different things. Just my thoughts and observations.

On youtube, there was a guy who managed to get 17 mpg on his 5.9. Which is pretty lame. You would expect something in the 20s for me to bat an eyelash. The risk of an explosion is not worth the extra 2-4 MPG over what I am getting now (13-15 MPG mixed driving).

Let me do a quick search.

Sorry, 17.7 miles per gallon on 539 miles. That is horrible. Snake oil.

ALso, the end of this video is why I would never do it unless someone can install it professionally and hold the liability:

From mythbusters. They butchered the HHO, but they started a car by hosing hydrogen gas from a tank into the throttle body. It can power an engine, but...

Here is some good articles about the HHO scam. I still don;t think that a small 2 liter tank of water will generate enough H2:

They link studies by other countries that state it does not work as intended.

I am over 40 & got suckered into an expensive & complete looking HHO kit not too long ago. No change in mileage whatsoever. Those who fail at this do not seem to make follow up videos & post to youtube.

If this HHO bullshiat actually worked, Detroit would be installing it on every single car coming off the line and/or the Government would be mandating installation on all new cars. Too bad no one actually THINKS about that.
