OK, but what if you add enough alcohol to disperse the water into the 
gasoline? Would you get better performance? It has been recommended that 
some type of alcohol be added to the water in a water injection system, 
so why bother with the separate system and just mix it all up in the gas 
tank? I'm assuming that the type of alcohol used would be compatable with 
the fuel system.

Is it just an issue of control over when the water is injected?
