Oh wow. I am unaware of these hot spots. Coking injectors and rings.. Seems probable. I just put in new rings, so if mine become coked then it's the wmo at fault. If the tops of the pistons coke up well.. I can use all the extra compression I can get. :-)
But what do the hot spots do? How does this work against you? Please go on.
Maybe mtrans will light up and say it's not true ;-)

Why not mist some water into the intake to help clean out the combustion chamber as you drive?

where do i pick up the heat necessary to make steam? if i drip it into the intake, will the intake be hot enough to vaporize the water?

The steam will come once the water is in the combustion chamber. In the intake tract it will be a mist. There are quite a few threads about it on this forum, usually pertaining to turbos though.

Genius Tyler.. An old Carb trick i once learned! I see no reason why it wouldnt do the same job here.
You gotta remember it will be flash boiled as soon as it hits the intake runner and valve head.. They both have to sit way over 100c.. Not to mention the sevral hundred dehree cyl temps eh.

any WASTE fuel is bad for our engines...
WVO builds coke, because it was never meant to be burnt..
WMO, same deal, crap in it that aint supposed to burn..
idk if water injection will do squat against coke...
coke is basically plastic built up under the compression rings..
me personally, i dont mind buying diesel..
our cars already get ~50mpg.. fuel is cheap, even when its 2x more than gasoline..

yep. the original reason I bought a diesel vw was to run on waste fuel then I realized its not so worth it. to me its just good to know in case of an emergency. ie what just happened on the east coast I can fuel my vehicle on other things.

I wouldn't say diesel is cheap though. Cheap would be >$2.00 a gallon what it should be.

when you drive a VW, diesel is cheap, because that $4 gallon just got you 50 miles..
where as the same $4 gallon gets you about 9-12 miles in a diesel pickup..
or you could be like Catlin, and have that gallon of diesel get you 1.7 miles... LOL..

I am still going to try and pursue free fuel. When my car was N/A I ran a ton of WMO just right in to my fuel tank, engine ran great on it. But now that its TDI, and a $$ Rover pump.. I gotta make sure first lol.

well, most people dont know how to drive a diesel and get good economy..
most people i know with diesel pickups, dont get more than 15mpg..
20mpg is almost unheard of anymore.. not saying it doesnt happen, but most people just cant do it..
usually when someone says they get 20mpg out of their diesel, i call BS..
because they have lift, big wide tires, and lots of crap in the bed..
i was talking about the MAJORITY of diesel pickup owners, who are complete idiots, and get terrible mileage with their EFFICIENT DIESEL..
