connclark - the main reason for the water is to filter the crap out of the exhaust gases in my opinion the bonus is added water vapor in the combustion to hopefully lower combustion temps for lower nox and the exhaust gases that are going into the jar are usually about 300 degrees so that should actually get the water itself to within range of it's boiling point so it reduces that

COcyclist - there's really not that much risk of sucking up water into your engine if you set the jar up properly you have it about 3/4 of the way full with a spiral that only lets little bubbles through so it doesn't bubble to your supply line thats only in the jar about 1/2 an inch i have this set up on my jeep but instead of water i have fuel in the jar but no exhaust gas flowing through just air
