BBBxcursion The owner of DPS is Ken Inglesman he is very Knowledgeable. his system is one of the best. He had it designed for diesels and uses steel braided lines. give him a call he will discuss water injection in great detail. if you plan on buying tell him the slaps boys sent you and he may give you a 5 percent discount.

This opens the door for all sorts of crazy overfueling, in turn making your gateway for some extreme power open up at significantly *less* risk than before.
Off the subject..is anyone else just now starting find the new 2005 SD front end to look cool? at first i didnt like it, but the more i look at it its starting to grow on me, it has a tougher look to it...i bet us 03/04 guys could get the grill, bumper, and headlights and bolt them on...

In the ol' days they used to clean motors with water....take a garden hose and run the water right down the carb...you wouldn't believe all the carbon that flows out the exhaust. Just don't let it stall while your doing it!

Feel free to add to this list inside of this thread!
Water Injection Research:
-The Water Injection Information Site
-"Hydro Injection"
The last link is also a kit but they did some testing on their own and have shared the results.

The assumption that this is not a bolt on and go power adder is correct. This is like NOS or propane, It's risky but the risk is greatly reduced with knowledge.
Thanks.
We will over the next few days develop a consensus on how we should approach this.

We will have to rig our system with zippers and velcro. It should be as nearly self contained as possible so it can come out easily in case the truck needs to go to the dealer.
I expect the book tomorrow. I'll share what information is worth sharing.

I figured that with a calculator that had low batteries.
Also confirmed my numbers with the overhead consol in my truck, I know that is always accurate.

Since we aren't pressurizing the tank, almost anything will do. I have a extra thick plastic methanol (blue) 5 galon gas can. I plan to strap it to my tool box.
There is a place , Hose Fast in Dallas, that makes up steel braded lines to order.
How much is the shurflo pump?
It just occured to me that I can hide the entire system inside my tool box.
