Let me try using my limited chemistry knowledge.
H(2) Oxygen(1) but Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, so its weight is 16 while hydrogen is 1 but times two for a water molecule. So hydrogen represents 2/18 or 1/9 the weight of water. Since water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon. So there should be approximately 0.9 pounds of hydrogen per gallon of water, my final answer.
BTW Gasoline weighs about 6.5 pounds per gallon.
