I really don't know if this even relates to the patina that you are seeing, but here is a photo of the clear tubing after running for 2-3,000 miles on the 88 Nissan 300ZX (non turbo). Note that the normally perfectly clear tubing (still clear feeding the water source is no longer clear at the outlet and the only type of water I used in the unit was distilled and sometimes 50/50 distilled and 70% isopropyl alcohol.

Thats why ppl like plating shops require de-ionized water instead of just distilled.

I too experienced some change in the engine performance of late. I went through the experimental stages until the electrolyzer became stable. At one point the unit was demanding more current than the electrode rod could handle. Steam being injected on a 109-degree day on the interstate through Scottsdale started to peg the fuel/air gauge into the rich reading, and temps started to rise. Repaired the unit and settled for less hydroxy, and the unit has been stable for the last 600 miles. I noticed a few days ago that the engine seemed extra responsive. It's like the change in a new engine when it breaks in, you just feel the change in performance. Interesting.
