...I think we have been here before. You can just carry water in the vehicle, and electrolyze it in situ, a minute quantity at a time, as required. There need be no stored gas, and no danger. 2 mL of hydrogen gas at STP would power a 100 hp engine for 88 hours, that's 22 microliters of Hydrogen / hour . The "explosion" following even a catastrophic collision would barely register as a mild "pop". Even if you used ordinary water, rather than deuterium enriched, you still get about 1200 kWh/L (of water). That's 80-100 times better than gasoline.
