Dealing with high fuel prices

[Bob Culver]

Water injection systems were fashionable in the 1950s. Many cars ran cr very high for the available fuel and with these could be helpful (several prototype Jowetts were imported to NZ with engines somewaht as the Le Mans cars and at least one was run with injection, until it leaked when stationary...) With then so many ex wartime aero mechanics the notion was not new although in aircraft the mix included alcohol. The water absorbs energy but with very high cr other effects compensate.

(The many skilled ex airforce mechanics enabled English cars to thrive.....)
