Erosion?? Re: <VV> Novice thoughts on H2O injection

[FrankCB at aol.com]

    I'd be more worried about possible erosion of the spinning compressor 
blades.  However, you could have a good point, Warren, if there is no solenoid 
operated shut off valve in the water line leading to the injection nozzle.  This 
shut off valve is always a good idea, especially if you can't locate the 
water supply tank well below the nozzle outlet.  The VaraJection instructions, for 
example, state that the tank cap (at TOP of tank) MUST be mounted between 3 
inches and 8 inches BELOW nozzle outlet.

Because , after the carb is always a high vacuum under all conditions. It 
would not be injected, but sucked---perhaps sucked dry.
