A blowout in the reservoir

I had noticed that my mileage wasn't as good in the last few fill ups as I had been getting. Well today I accidentally found the culprit.

While I was adding distilled water to my KOH tank, I noticed that there was a split in the tank at the seam. So in effect, I had am HHO gas leak for about 3 weeks. I anticipated these types of problems which is why my reservoir tank is installed just behind the grill on the driver's side. This is far enough away from the intake and any potential flashback issues.

I replaced the tank with a 2 quart unit of much thicker plastic.
