Question: If you fill up your tank and there just happens to be some water in the gas, what happens?
The water will sink to the bottom of the tank and join the other water wich has been there for a long long time. Luckilly the designer also knew this and took some precousions in the design of the fuel-tap to make sure the condensated water stay's in the tank...
On the other hand, on old fishing-boat's they usually add some water to the gass-flow to boost the engine-output. Since water has a higher expansion ration then gasoline when it's heated.
On chevy high-output engine's they even have a system called H2O-injection to boost up the power...
It seems water is not only the source of life... but also the source of many misunderstandings.
Of course, don't go pouring water in your tank now... I'm talking about drop's
For the rest... aditive's (beside's octane-booster's etc..) are a waste of monye in my opinion.... and the opinion of many research team's
But.. I must confess.. I alway's wonder... when ever there is a new super-product on the market... should I... or should I not. In the end I alway's not
