I'm not sure but I think you forgot something. While you can make combustable fuel in this way, the amount of energy it takes is high compared the amount of energy you get back, making it expensive and inefficient. To do it right you need a very cheap source of electricity and a cheap ans safe method of storage.
For example, it is cheaper to heat your home with electricity then to electrolysize (sp?) water with electricity and burn its hydrogen & oxygen. To break water molecules apart requires some electricity, and the larger your water tanks are (and the more fuel you want to create), the more resistance there is in the water (Ohms Law V=RI). You can fix this by adding salt, but too much salt and too much electricity will cause the salt to break up into Sodium and Chloride (Dangerous!). The electricity has to be DC not AC, and the voltage has to be regulated to be efficient.
