Yes, and if you took thermodynamics and understood some of it, then you are completely disqualified from further discussion.

I'll be the first to admit I just returned from a business trip and was *very* very tired. Had a nap and realized I could have worded that better

The poster gave the impression that somehow it was ok or not harmful for a motor to "burn" water, as evidenced by the condensation dripping from a Crown Vic tailpipe(s).

Ah, that was my mistake. All that silly computer science and chemical engineering. Shame on me, now I must do heavy drinking to repent

With this setup do you pass emissions testing?
What MPGs does it get without this system and with the engine tuned correctly?

I was wondering about that too. Of course, most of the rice rockets I've seen are already blowing blue smoke anyway ...

Don't kid yourself. At the rate things are going in the US - and Canada - give it a few more years and folks like us will be burned at the stake. I'm sure you've noticed that a large portion of our society appears to be regressing

Many of these devices have you remove or tamper with the oxygen sensor, making the engine run overly lean. That's one way to get a short term boost in fuel economy.

If you want to know where we are headed, visit your local WalMart.

I gathered that was where you were going. I was just clarifying that water is produced when you burn hydrocarbons.

Ugh. A lot of Americans are so proud of their stupidity, they wear it like a badge of honor. We have a TV show here called "Are You Smarter Than 5th Grader", where people demonstrate that they aren't, to the delight of the audience.
