Just to elaborate on the subject, I wouldn't use the water or the sea foam unless my motor had very high miles and or it ran like total crap.

The key word with the water cleaning process is ....MISTING.... its old school when mechanics were mechanics. Find and old scholl mechanic and ask him questions about the process . As for sea foam judging by the results ive heard on forums. It looks good sitting on the shelf in the auto parts every time I walk by it...JM2CW.

Water injection kits are nothing new, as stated. They introduce a very small amount of water into the intake over hundreds/thousands of miles driving/hours running. Introducing water into the intake by sticking a garden hose/squirt bottle into the intake.......that's just crazy and is totally different from water injection.

You'd prefer a fire hose, maybe?

Re-read my post......if I said a garden hose/spray bottle was crazy, what's up with a fire hose. That would be a duh, no?

Why not reap the benefits full time? Run an IV into your intake.
