Hydrogen and oxygen gases are generated for use in an internal combustion engine in a vehicle using the electrical system of the vehicle to provide current for the electrolysis process to generate the hydrogen and oxygen gases. The electrolysis process to eliminate oxygen and hydrogen gases occurs only while the engine is being operated and terminates when the engine stops. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are collected separately in the generator apparatus and flow separately in their own conduits to the intake manifold of the engine. Water in the generator apparatus is replenished from a reservoir as the water is used, and the water is accordingly kept at a desired level in the generator apparatus.
