2 stroke Water injection

[Jeffrey Engel]

Er, um I may have stepped it in a little.  Another poster informed me 
that the CO2 cartidges didn't provide enough volume of gas to be 
useful.  Possibly enough for an mx race, though.

My interest is in turbo auto applications.  Since suitable water 
pressure pumps seem to be hard to get, I'm thinking about using 
pressure to force the water through a fuel injector.  CO2 has the 
nice property of staying liquid at about 60 psi, so you can store a 
lot in a small space.
