The decondensor was used on a wood gasifier as i have sayd, not charcoal. I wanted to put a decondensor on a charcoal unite becouse i culd thain inject more water, giveing me more hydrogen. Sure some water wuldnt react with charcoal but thats where the decondensor comes in. Just thinking…

Hi Kristijan,  
To much water-steam will favor the nitrogen turning into ammonia in the gas  
Also be aware of the acids that comes with Hydrogen. ( highly corrosive with your engine )  
Using steel wool in your filters will compensate that ( iron gets oxidized and neutralizes the acid , hydrogen sulfates )  
I suggest to start with the driest gas as possible and gradually working your way up to improving.
