Never really noticed any performance gains. Helped a little on mileage but it's hard to tell if it's cost-effective. By the time you're done doing the math and adding the incremental cost of the equipment it doesn't work out too well. Since the tank has hung empty under his truck for the last 3 - 4 years, I think it's safe to say if he had it to do over he wouldn't have dropped the cash.

Water Methanol is about $575 complete. Propane costs more than windshield wiper fluid & burns 50* hotter as the Methanol reduces temp & washes cylinders. I would be interested in the Water system, if I were able to talk with someone that actually runs it & not trying to sell it I may try it out. I run my truck on 100% veggie oil. So my fuel costs are pretty cheap. Both systems boast a 15-20% mileage increase.
Thanks for the input. |
