I would be very careful using water injection on a diesel because the 
extremely high compression ratios could easily lead to hydro lock, thus 
bendin your connecting rods, or worse. Also, I heard somewhere that 
diesels actually *liked* lots of heat, so the cooling effect of water 
injection may be a disadvantage.
