15,000 miles is around 5% of the life expectancy of a 6.5 engine.
And they already are running into problems.
Sounds like the military was looking for something completely different than emissions and economy.
If they have to replace major parts in the fuel system every 50,000 miles because the mission needs vehicles with this water fuel system then that is what they do.
I have a pretty good idea what emulsification agent they used, use it every day where I work.
