New Project - Skunkwerks EM9D
I'm confused. On a gasser we use water injection to prevent detonation but on a diesel detonation is a way of life. It's how the thing runs. So what is the benefit on a diesel? The water, which is incombustible, is occupying space that could be occupied by power producing combustible stuff like oxygen and fuel. You already have an intercooler cooling the incoming air so the water cant be for cooling the intake charge either. Please forgive the fact that I am probably missing something obvious. I'm just asking to learn and understand, not to criticize.
