anyone have any experience with this system? here's the site:

http://www.better-mileage.com/water1.html

i built a steam system today for under $10. but now i have to figure
out where i'm going to put the water resevoir and where to hook the
hose up. i was thinking of disconnecting the pcv valve and hooking
it up there, right where the pcv valve went into the air inlet duct,
basically using the ideas from one of Rods posts
(http://attach2.egroups.com/group/BC-BFL ... ./Emission%
20control%20Mods.jp) to accomplish that. if you click on the
condenser link in the water injection site it gives you an oil trap
to hook up, would this be better than letting the pcv hose open to
free air?

Yes I mix half water half alcohol. I have set mine off a full
throttle micro switch.

noticeable improvements(over just water)? what kind of vehicle do
you have? what and where did you place the resevoir? i'm having a
hard time trying to find a spot to put my resevoir without having to
worry about it melting. i may have to go aluminum. oh yeah, one
more thing, sorry for all the questions, what vacuum source are you
using? like i said i was thinking of a few different places of
hooking up and just trying to figure out the best one.

Alcohol evaporation is much more effective at removing heat than even
water, plus it's got some BTUs

As for melting, find a good ABS plastic container and keep it as far
away from anything hot as possible. Don't go for aluminum, it'll
absorb heat and make it less effective.

If you're going to use alcohol, can't you just mix it in with the gas
like they do in racecars (methanol I think). It's dangerous, and you
can't see the flames when you are on fire, but it makes power.
Personally, I'd stick with the water/steam. That's what they use on
gas turbines in power plants.

Maybe you can put a water jacket around your turbo outlet, convert it
to steam (using high pressure lines of course) and inject that.

I just use a window washer bottle, run the standard water pump to a
cold start injector, and the power to the water pump is fed by a WOT
micro switch so I don't have to worry about using vaccum.
