I have been reading and watching this since it started, I joined in at post #250. I have some pics too.

So far for my clovis, NM ---> east run I am up nearly 2mpg over last time I ran it. I am getting at least the same result as other 6.5L guys running water injection, which is around +1mpg. Between the wild temperature swings and horrible cross winds I get in the high plains I almost never get any thing resembling consistant testing conditions.
Engine coolant temperatures are down and EGTs are way down at light load.
It is very easy to tell when the water runs out because as soon as I hit any kind of hill with out the water going my loaded down suburban has difficulity getting over it.
The cooling effect of the water is helping to pack more air into the cylinders.

I tried propane injection back in 2006 and me and my truck didn't like it, but with water and water/methanol its what I have been looking for.
I just edited the possible problems section

I have also had a runaway pump caused by a melted AEM methanol controller.
That was less than thrilling, let me tell you.
The new wiring will have a master relay that will kill the whole system for me.
