As a rough guesstimation with this lower fuel consumption how long would it take to pay for it self with the money you save on fuel ?? Say for argument sakes all up it costs you $2000 to buy, fit and tune
    We want as much air as possible with our TD. We really actually can't have to much air the more air we have the more efficient we can be. Using plain water injection we aren't adding fuel but are adding cooling so a cooler more dense air charge (more air). Lower intake air temps will always result in lower Egt's. Probably the best kit you can by for our application will set you back about $1000 or so and tuning can be done by the operator it's just a balancing act really finding the sweet spot between ones preferred usage and cooling. And yes we can supply to much water and quench our flame.

    Now we can add methanol for some more added cooling but the gain we will see here is power and torque without actually adding anymore diesel. The cost factor with methanol would prob be neutral as methanol costs dollars to see the gain but at the same time we can see better economy. If we were just using water I think you could easily make the cost back in a year or less.
