Pretty sure Pop's B17 used a methanol-water injection when they went to war emergency power. Without the w-m mix the engine would blow apart in short order. Even with it the engine life expectancy was measured in hours of actual w-m injection.

Boost was something like 20 PSI at sea level. Much less strain at altitude.
