Free hydrogen is quite rare in space, it usually comes combined with
something else unless you get it from something the size of Jupiter or
bigger where you might find it in metallic form.

Re: 98 Jeep Wrangler and E85 fuel
And the energy for that electrolysis would have to come from cold fusion
since otherwise you'd be getting it from the typical sources. Plus when
you burn hydrogen in air, most folks forget about air being mostly
nitrogen and you do NOT get the pure water the greenie monsters believe
you will get.

Alcohol burns nicely in a diesel cycle, as any model airplane hobbyist
would be aware of as they do the inevitable castor oil two step.
Alcohol and nitromethane burn even better just before your engine melts.
