Thread: water/methanol injection for td5

If you want to go down that path I'd fit D/gas. Pat

what is d/gas?

Propane. Used in a similar way to water injection, but for a diesel engine.

DIESEL GAS AUSTRALIA

if you were winding the wick up that high on a td5 that it needed the water/methanol injection to get the temps under control you'd probably blow the head apart or tear the exhaust manifold completely off.

i am not looking to turn up the wicked,i am running just around 18 psi,with a standard inter-cooler.the roads in Barbados aren't that long,short and windy,the highways are the only real long roads and even then some sort of intersection comes on to it,longing for better fuel economy.i get about 550 km on about 68-69 liters.yes i know that the tank has in more,but i prefer not run out of fuel on the road.

If my calculations are correct, this works out to about 12.5l / 100kms.

That being the case, there probably isn't much to be gained without major expense. And then, you need to work out the pay-back time....

maybe something simple like the bigest intercooler you can fit and a good mandrel bent exhaust , and a good tuning

k,taking note from the last reply,yes a bigger inter-cooler and a tuning is the best way.thanks for the input.
