11 or more amps sounds about right, was not a problem with the van. smaller alt might have a problem though, the tech is right about the computer as the hydrogen makes the O2 sensor think that the engine is running to lean, & tells the injectors to all more fuel, so any benefit you get from the Gen. you lost because of the computer program.... they didn't have the chip when I got mine, so it was cut & splice, don't know the brand name but the float box said THEHYDROGENSTOR.COM I paid more then $125, but it's a very well built unit, has a float reservoir, & a filter, HD fuse holder, #10 wire, elect connectors, maybe more would have to look
