It depends, if you can use the common isotope of hydrogen then your
equipment is a couple of electrodes and some kind of compressor
to capture and compress the hydrogen.  You could get that anywhere
that had a tech high enough for gasoline engines.

OTH if you only fuse the deuterium isotope seperating it could be
a bit more difficult.  AFAIK all current research on fusion is
using deuterium.  Anyone know how you seperate deuterium from
normal hydrogen?
