I'm not sure if I cheated but, I teed my vacuum line and put a hose with an
aquarium clamp and hooked it to my (clean) windshield washer bottle. Used
the aquarium clamp to slow the feed to water so I could barely keep it
running at 1500 rpm.
I filled up the washer bottle with Distilled water and drove around while it
sucked water. Not sure if it cleaned anything but I put 4 bottles of water
through on trips to work..... I don't have data to show it runs any
better, but in my mind it seems to runs better.....
Before anyone else tries this I have to ask if this was a prudent thing to
do.
Adding this little bit of water under driving loads - would this hurt
anything? I've heard of water injection on turbos so I figured it couldn't
hurt (but the water there evaporates before it hits the piston in the turbo
application). Maybe hurt no more than a leaky head gasket?
