Is anyone running hydrogen (hydroxy) gas as a fuel enhancement?

I been doing some research on hydrogen or hydroxy gas boost kits. I'm in the process of building a electrolysis to make hydroxy gas from water, yes water. The cost is very very cheap, less than $30 to build a kit.

I'm wondering if someone is already doing it on thier Cummins. It's common on fleet trucks and the technology is very old, so why not. It's not a performance boost, just a fuel additive/replacement to the diesel fuel.

My buddy build one and installed it in his Nissan pickup and gets about 8-10 mpg more around town! That's close to 30mpg in a 4x4 pickup.

There is lots of information just haven't found anyone that's perfected it yet. I've been trying, just don't have the time or a lab to work in.
