Water injection was a common thing for cars in the 60's that you
could get at a hot rod shop, they were metered, two thing it
did was to keep Carbon build up off the valves and piston oil rings,
the spark plugs lasted for ever.It was said that the engine HP increased
15 to 20%. The WW11 spit-fire increased altitude and power when
it was installed. But Propane cars are said not to get carbon build
up , for power on propane??????

Subject: IML: Water
Injection
Following on from Roy's recent message, here's a question
that might be of a
lot of interest to us European Imperial owners in
particular.
I have two propane powered cars, a ' 61 Imperial and a
' 76 Eldorado conv.
(my daily driver) Both run fine on propane but
there is about a 10 to 15%
loss of power and consumption (more
noticable on the fuel injected Caddy.)
With the high cost of gasoline
in Europe, running on propane makes a lot of
sense, but I would love
to get the same performance as gasoline. Seems to me
W.I. could be a
possible solution.
I know W.I. is supposed to increase power. Can
it also improve gas mileage?
Are there any disadvantages I should
know about like extra engine wear?
How do you know how much water
to inject?
Could it would work with a propane powered
car?
