water injection actually helps the mileage on a gasoline engine. I have never tried it on a diesel. But I have tested and have repeatedly been able to get about a 5% increase in mileage with a ratio of 10% water to gas. You can go way over that ratio and it won't change much other than dump water out the tail pipe. On some tests in the past I have gotten close to a 50-50 mix on a warm engine when I messed up the regulator setup but the car ran fine and didn't do anything other than use up the bottle of water way quicker than it should have. I haven't seen an increase in mileage going beyond the 10% mix so that seems to be the sweet spot.
The trick is just to get a reliable method that is easy to duplicate and install on most cars without having to go to something like a megasquirt computer or some other extreme stuff.
