If you do that, the fuel tank could by plastic.
Trains could run on water.
Buses could run on water.
Cars could run on water.
all exhausting distilled water (as vapor and droplets).

Fossil fuels, done with the need.
Energy dependence, done.

Breaking the bonds in a water molecule with electricity to make hydrogen gas has been around since the early twentieth century (or before). Kline thought to break the bonds right before ignition to use in a replacement technology for Oxy-Acetylene.
He got something infinitely more interesting. Iron heated to red hot via his device will no longer rust (water is bonded to the iron already, preventing the oxidation of the iron). Non-rusting car bodies.
