Default Hydrogen Generator for better mileage

I didn't know if this was the right thread to post this topic, but my dad found this site the other day, Mileage Shop - Hydrogen Generators - Home and was wondering if it was worth it. We had a friend who made a homemade deal back home, but even though he had blow off valves on the storage tank, the lid blew off and dented the hood from the inside. The reason this kit intrigues us is because it doesn't store the hydrogen and has a shut off. Dad's wanting to try it on his '99 Suburban before I try it on my Ram, if the % increase in mileage is halfway true, both of us could get 20+avg mpg!

As with any product, I was wondering if anyone would know what the pros or cons are of something like this. I know what that website says, just wonder if there's any credit to it or just another scam (BTW, this is the cheapest self-contained kit Dad's found; a lot of others cost over $1k)

Lemme know what y'all think.

I was in this business a while back. I bought into a distributorship. To be blunt, you will need to run at about 30 - 40 amps through water and KOH which is corosive. In the end its not work the 300 - 400 you will spend on it.

It kinda works if your flow is constant and all the variables are perfect, but you cant get any unit to have a constant flow if HHO gas there for your computer will run your truck lean and burn a hole in your cylinder wall. I would stay away from it. TOo much has to be just right or you will reap the same results(hole in your cyl wall) & spun bearings.

If you don t beleive me look at this video. I know the guy
Hydrogen By Cantburn #21 - YouTube

Stay away from this, if you want to save mileage the only thing you can due it keep the engine and car maintained and watch the foot.
