How much water injection is to much

[cummins-dodge]

I have a 12v puller and I am spraying two 1/16th inch nozzles and it not putting the fire out but I have more blow by after a pull for about 5mins and then it's back to normal and getting a little gray oil drip out of blow by also is gone after 5min does it hurt to run tap water or should I run distiled water

Punctuation is your friend.

Ahh, the lost art of punctuation. :stab:

You don't want to spray any more than just enough. I pulled 100hp with too much that showed zero sign of "putting out the fire".

Cut back when it stalls out.

 

[rnemovr]

Spray untill the motor locks up, then dial it back about 10%.

50% of your residual pump output X injector rate X hole count, give or take 10*

Make sure you stop just shy of bent rods!

And don't let anyone convince you to put straight methanol in or you'll have said bent rod!!

Always wondered what would happen.

We had a guy try a 50/50 mix of water and meth. Made a heck of a fireball out the exhaust when it backfired.

 

[mxhunter147]

Mine made a heck of an oil puddle when it back fired lol

if it turns into a steam engine you may have gone too far

What psi is your pump running at?

 

[Chevy Cummins]

Depends what water injection pump your using if you using a water meth kit (250)psi most likely you never get there. If you use a high pressure system 1000+psi you can go until the motor starts cutting out or popping which is putting the fire out then just back it off a bit.
