I'm collecting the parts for a water/alcohol injection system for my truck - more power/MPG. [1] It bubbles air through the liquid and [2] a mist-grabbing outflow tube will feed the "foamed-up" vapor directly into the engine's carburetor. The wet air helps produce more efficient fuel-burning (by "atomizing" the gasoline droplets and lowering the fuel's temperature) and to improve the power plant's overall performance and life span (by cleaning out the engine's carbon buildup). Each water droplet acts as a spark plug, no danager of moisture buildup in the engine internally.
I bought a 55 Caddy winshield washer cannister and air valve parts for a fish tank air line. Bought the hose fitting from NAPA that fits in the vacuum port of the carb. Just got to get a glass bottle and finish installing air intake tube and vacuum tube. When installed I should see about a 6% increase in mpg, more power and cleaner engine internally.
