I don't believe it. You cannot use on-board electrolysis powered by the engine to generate hydrogen as fuel for the engine. It's a perpetual motion machine. The laws of physics don't allow it.
Now if the hydrogen as an additive somehow makes the engine use diesel or gasoline more efficiently, then you might have a case. But I've never heard of any chemistry where burning hydrocarbons in the presence of hydrogen yields more energy out of the hydrocarbon combustion. Remember burning the hydrogen can at best yield the same amount of energy you already spent to get the hydrogen out of the water to begin with.
I still think it's snake oil, or this "technology" would be on production cars from the factory.
