In this work, an integrated system of electrolyzer with CI engine which introduces HHO gas into the air intake is experimented. The system was installed to the engine with all the accessories including the required safety measures. The experiments were conducted on a 553 cc single cylinder constant speed Kirloskar engine. Dry cell HHO generator has been installed to the test engine. The test gave the result such that the fuel consumption has been reduced by 6 - 12% with an HHO gas supply of 1 LPM along with the engine air intake.
