A hydrogen fuel system including an engine is mounted on a vehicle and is operable when the engine is running, for generating and storing hydrogen on the vehicle. The system includes a hydrogen gas tank, a chemical reactor with catalyst, a heat exchanger, an alcohol tank and an acetic ether tank. The alcohol from the alcohol tank is vaporized in the heat exchanger, reacts with the catalyst in the chemical reactor and forms hydrogen which passes to the hydrogen gas tank and acetic ether, which is stored in the acetic ether tank.
