water injection flow rate

How much gph of water would the 12 valve Cummins, with no mods and the original 160 hp injectors (in other words bone stock), require for the purpose of keeping the cylinders clean? The truck is a 1994 Ram 2500.

The idea with injection isn't to keep the cylinders clean but rather to lower exhaust temperatures.

I'm talking about something else here.

This isn't about the load.

This is relating to:

Long-term vegetable oil use.

Which causes problems in the combustion chamber that can be prevented or solved by using water injection.
