Insulation would be the answer.

True, but H2 is expensive to make in the first place also.
It is... right now.

I think, overtime, they could develop an electrical sensor or circuit that would automatically notify the driver of an H2 leak, and could possibly give you options for a nessesary action. Besides, I would agree with leviticus88:
Absolutely. Just as in any industry (like my job) that deals with compressed gasses... there are pressure meters, and alarms that go off when you're getting a high pressure reading (during the extreme heat of the day) and a rapid pressure drop (if there's a leak, or a surge in the system).

That would be ideal, if they could create a car that would reuse the byproducts of its own combustion.
Put water in the tank... separate the molecules... burn the hydrogen/oxygen mixture... recapture the water exhaust, and repeat.
