According to Harry Ricardo  in "Internal High Speed Combustion
Engine", I beleive he says up to 1/3 of the fuel volume may be 
matched with water.   So for every 3 pints of fuel you can run 1 pint
of water.  But, increasing it any more than enough to suppress
detonation doesn't do anything...  Also wasn't very fussy about
quanity..  Just blowing it thru a restricted orfice is fine.  No real 
brain bending needed.  You might look up a copy of this book,
and double check me.  Been a while since I read it..
  Like an instructor told me, "If you have any doubt about the
erosion abilities of water look at the Grand Canyon"..  He was
a really good mechanic, and I don't think you'll hear me say that
about many folks...
  This also has been talked about some in the archives..
