You are right, thats what he said, the steam causes more pressure in the cylinder? my memory is terrible. But apparently cleans as well.Edweird wrote:Water injectors are used in some engines for more power. The heat from the burning fuel causes the water to boil and expend into steam, giving you more expansion in the cylinders on the power stroke. Never heard of them being used to clean the inside of the engine.

I have heard this said too, don't know if it's true or just a wives tale. Could easily be true.ROBBIE wrote:But apparently cleans as well.

Re: Sea foam to clean carbon build up?
It cleans but I don't think it expands anything like as well as petrol. Its used to cool the mixture to increase its density.
