Secondly the machine to pull hydrogen is very big and uses alot of power. I dont think they could fit it in a car and there wouldn't be enough surplus energy from the process to keep it breaking down the water molecules.
actually an electrolysis machine is easily made compact, the problem is the yield is smaller too.
your right about not being able to carry enough water the weight would make it a bitch. carrying only hydrogen is the best solution. or the hydride stuff the guy on the link i posted mentions.

not saying they didn't. it's just inefficent.
