You can prove that it doesn't "work" on your car specifically, or that it doesn't work on any of the cars it's been tried on. But unless you can try it on every car in the world under every condition you cannot "prove" anything.
Again, you can find evidence SUPPORTING the claim that the system doesn't work. You cannot "prove" it.

Whether anyone uses the word 'prove' is just a matter of semantics and the social agreements amongst the scientists to which you refer. It depends on what one means by that word. If the system does not produce enough hydrogen to increase the fuel economy as they advertise in a paradigmatic example car, it's good enough for me to conclude it's not going to work on my car. Perhaps, there's a different kind of car on a remote planet on which it might work, but I'm going to be quite happy to live my life as if it doesn't work as soon as Forced has tested it on his car. In this particular example, I'm more than happy to forego the actual test and using general principle, believe that it ain't going to work, just like I also believe that Benny Hinn does not perform miracles even though I've never actually attempted to falsify any one of his alleged miracles. It's just not worth my time.
