You have to rethink the problem. Under some conditions, say not found
in an automotive engine, water will break down into oxygen and hydrogen.
Aint gonna happen at anything resembling temperatures in an IC engine.

You can also dump ordinary sodium hydroxide in water and aluminum and
get hydrogen. Somewhat expensive.

You can also electrolyze water to oxy and hydrogen, but the trick is to
use less energy than you get when you combine them again. Aint gonna
happen either.

There are catalysts that can break steam and produce hydrogen at
reasonable temperatures. The trick there is again the efficiency
problem, you use more energy than you can get back.
