    Similar results to water injection? What temperature steam? Increased advance would happen with knock sensors.

    Had a guy who tried something similar, he encased the exhaust manifold on a Sigma and ran the carby very lean, pumped water on to the manifold and fed the steam into the intake. Claimed very good economy figures and I would believe him as he was quite methodical. Sadly being a Sigma the head cracked. He gave up as he was in his late 70's.

    whatever temp steam we could get out of the steam cleaner. (we werent going to move the traction engine to the testbed or vice versa)

    we werent being very scientific about it at the time it was more or less a case of.


    "hey lets see whats kicking around here that we can feed down the air intake."


    we got lucky in that the old bloke who owned the place was a believer crack pot. (bloody good mechanic when you could get him off of crackpot theories or the booze) so pretty much anything we'd heard rumours of making engines run better was there for us to have a crack with.


    My personal favorite was the fuel aerator.

    The quote that P38arover gave called Yul Brown a "fraudster." I met him in the 1980's and saw his welder in his factory near Liverpool forget the name of that Sydney suburb. I had a friend who worked for him, which is how I found out about this.

    But many have used his welders. I do wish I had one, but they were, and are very expensive and appear to have used a lot of electricity.

    A TAFE welding teacher I spoke to back then, was not very impressed with this welding technology.
