Over the years others have mused about utilizing a water injection system when running wvo or wmo to keep the combustion chamber and injector tips clean as opposed to using it as a power adder or for egt temp control.

Just wondering if anyone has actually tried this. With fuel headed higher, I'm thinking of driving the 95 more while using one of the alt. fuels. However with anything short of making B100 I worry about the conquiences. If water injection will keep things steam cleaned, it may be a worthwhile addition for that reason alone.

Any thoughts?

Yes, water injection systems do create that "steam effect" you mentioned on the pistons, combustion chambers and injectors. I have personally seen it with my water injection systems on my 1996 Dodge CTD. You can look at my signature to see where I am at on H.P./TQ. I am still amazed when I look at the piston tops in my engine when Scheid Diesel does the occasional lower end ring "refresh" procedures at how clean the piston tops are.

Here is a very good link for you on water inj. that we had going last year:
