What Can Be Added To Hydrogen Gas To Increase The Minimum Required Ignition Energy To Ignite It?

Here’s an interesting chemistry question…
When using hydrogen in an internal combustion engine, it has a tendency to pre-ignite due to a hot intake valve, and although there are things that can be done to the engine itself to fix that, such as ceramic coating the valves or adding sodium filled valves, I was wondering what could be added to the hydrogen gas itself to counteract the pre-ignition tendency? Possibly another gas mixed in? Would an alcohol spray have any effect if mixed in with it like it does with gasoline?

gasoline is already being used by a company called http://www.water4gas.com their systems looks like it may work and they say that the hydrogen can be directly produced from distilled water, thus no need for a pressurized tank

Carbon dioxide or nitrogen might work. Another possibility would be water injection, this was tried with high compression engines burning low octane fuels in the late 1950s. Alcohol or gasoline, or even kerosene might work too.
