How do I Buy a Hydrogen Unit for a Car?
Acquiring a working hydrogen fuel system for your car can be difficult, as most systems sold on the Internet are disingenuous to the true purpose of running your car on hydrogen. However, recent developments have allowed the serious home user options to utilize one of the best alternative fuel sources available. Previously, hydrogen fuel technology was limited by an inability to store adequate amounts of it in a moving vehicle. Compressed gas or liquid hydrogen is an explosive hazard, and electrolysis will not provide fuel at a quick enough rate. Now, consumers have access to metal hydride technology, which can allow users to use hydrogen as a fuel.

Tips & Warnings
Be sure that you are receiving a system that provides a means of supplying hydrogen gas to your vehicle, as no major gasoline company currently offers a refill station.
Do not modify your vehicle to run on hydrogen gas if the engine cylinder's compression ratio is greater than 10 to 1, or if your car utilizes a turbocharger or supercharger, as it could cause damage.
Observe laws governing the sale of metal hydrides. In most places it is regulated as a nuclear weapon component.
