Tom, I've been watching this with interest. I posted a topic recently on here and only had one response. Seems they called it "snake oil".

In theory it is possible as water increases hydrocarbon expansion by 1600-1. A quick way to blow up an engine if not properly mixed. For the long run it would have to be distilled water as the impurities in tap water will foul the system. Not sure I would be drinking condensate from the exhaust. Just my opinion!

It is an interesting concept. I wouldn't be drinking from the exhaust steam either.

If it works, expect Washington to tax it or Exxon (symbolic) will buy it and bury it.

I remember back in the 70's I had installed a water misting system on a 74 truck with a 351 engine. It would come on when towing on a grade or when the temp was getting higher. It seemed to work really well, it was suppose to cut down on carbon in the engine. It would mix a very very small amount of water thru the carb, by a misting system.
