    Thy yes - go ahead and put water into your gas tank, drive around for a
    couple of days, and report back to us on the results.

    You *can* separate the water into hydrogen and oxygen, and run on
    hydrogen, but it costs more in energy to do the separation than you get out.

    Have a nice day.

    I think that WW2 fighter planes had water injection in the carburator.
    I'm not sure what the reason was. Naturally the engines didn't run on
    water - the water was used as an additive.

    I can't understand why you both (i.e. Bill Putney and you) wish to spend you
    time on replying to spam/horse manure.

    Water injection slows down the combustion and lowers its temperature,
    avoiding knocking.

    Maybe good for high altitude (lowering octane requirements).
