Well, if anyone wants to try it, I have a Holley Water Injection kit,
universal application, from the 1970s. As I recall, it uses a WW pump
and vacuum sensor/switch. We sold a boatload of these in the 1970s.

All it does is prevent pre-ignition and/or detonation.

AFAIK, water injection doesn't "boost power" in any way shape or form. High
performance engines running on high octane fuel *seemingly* get a power
boost in that water cools the intake portion (valves, manifold, etc) of the
engine.
The result of this is a cooler denser mixture. More air and fuel more
power.

Right. That's exactly what I meant. It allows you to burn more fuel,
it doesn't do anything to make the fuel you do burn output more power.
In fact if anything it probably decreases the overall efficiency,
because a higher operating temperature, in general means higher
efficiency.

Tom: as far as hauling a pallet, that's not the reason you originally
cited, what gives? And regardless of whether oil is going to run out
or not, we still need to get off petroleum because of emissions.
