Listeroid Engines / De-Carbonizing / Reducing NOx Emissions
« on: January 14, 2007, 11:59:13 AM »
There's a thread in the BioDiesel and SVO Discussion Forums on this subject.
Basically, they're recommending adding water to the combustion chamber of a hot engine. A trickle of 25-50 cc/ minute is used to reduce the NOx emissions, and reduce carbon build-up for small engines. A shot of water is used to clean the carbon out of the cylinder. They're uncertain as to whether or not this would clean the buildup from the rings.
Apparently this method is routinely used in larger diesels. Does anyone here have any experience with this?
