The limiting point of water injection?

Postby Begle1 » Mon Sep 03, 2007 7:25 am

What happens when you inject too much water?

The common thing that you hear about is the "putting the fire out"; that's just the water lowering the temperatures below the autoignition point, right?

But you also hear about "hydrolocking"... What's that?

Anything else bad that can happen?

I'll bog terribly long before hydrlock (liquids don't compress, but pistons do). I suppose if a system was poorly designed and kept squirting when your engine died, and then you tried to restart it, BOOM RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE...
