HI allph,
I saw a proramme on TV a few days ago which featured a report on testing
devices on the market involving water injection into car engines and also
testing other devices which were advertised as able to boost car engine
performance, not jet engine performance, just ordinary run of the mill car
engines. The devices, some of them consisting of bits of metal in various
shapes, and some water tanks which fed into the carburetter system, were
given extensive testing. The result: None had the slightest effect on
engine performance or fuel economy.
OK! OK! Just reporting what I saw and heard on TV!
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.
