Water Injection for 6L XJ engine?
 

Like all the other XJs terrible gas mileage

Looking for those who have tried water/alcohol injection and like or dislike
it.
I believe the claims for increased power and carbon deposit removal, but
are the claims for increased fuel mileage bogus or true?

Re: Water Injection for 6L XJ engine?
 

I am wondering what engine and vehicle you are talking about. My XJ
gets about 26+ US mpg running fully loaded at 75 mph...... I feel this
is good mileage and it is an old beastie with over 300K km on it.

Alcohol has way less BTU's per volume and when any mix is used in my CJ7
it cuts the gas mileage instantly by 30% and some mixes go 50% less. My
CJ7 gets 23 US mpg with real gasoline.

Hi Mike,
Real gasoline, as opposed to ARCO's Kalifornia mix of ten percent
ethanol-alcohol?

Water will dissolve carbon, it is also what destroys engine that
only runs short distances without fully warming up to vaporize it and
raw gasoline to be sucked up by the positive Crankcase Ventilation.
