Water+meth injection helps to reduce the glazing from PCV oily vapors in the intake manifold, and from unburnt glycerin in the combustion chambers, while also decreasing NOx emissions. Promoting a more complete combustion process, and requiring a lower amount of Diesel fuel to generate the same power, the particulate matter amount also gets way lower, to nearly zero when the engine is properly tuned.
