OT: Water injection improving gas mileage?, Anyone doing it? Alot of scams with it. Just curious Options

[JRust]

So I have tried a water injection system before. It was about 5 years ago & we used it on a few cars. My father in law started it. It was supposed to use distilled water. We had mixed results with the cars we tried. Along with our mechanic who tried some too. Eventually the support just wasn't there & we quit the project. We did see a noticable jump in response on their park avenue. It would seriously throw you back in your seat when the system was on. It did not improve gas mileage though. I noticed a decent increase in response in my 240sx. Mileage improved on that also from low 20's to high to low 30's. The system seemed to be faulty though. It would work for a week then quit. I couldn't keep it working & although my mechanic was great with everything. The company which I am kicking myself for not remembering just didn't support their product, They tried to help at first but definately gave up.

So I do think there is merit here with water injection. I am just wondering if anyone is using it? If they are what system are they using? Is it just a total crock & a scammers dream?

Mythbusters tried one of the "water splitters". Couldn't generate enough HH to get the engine to run.


I've got a device you hang on the exhaust system ... it captures unburned fuel, condenses it and returns it to your tank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Maybe we should talk the EPA** into capturing all the bovine flatulence (methane gas) that's ruining our atmosphere and burn it.

DD's right .... old trick was to pour a cup of water down the carburetor slowly while running a 2K rpm. The steam flash would knock the deposits off the heads, pistons and valves. Pour it to fast and you kill the engine or bust a piston.
