70% =B1 is the most H2O that can be vaporized by TDC with an effective
compression ratio in the 9:1 area.

Any more than that will just decrease output and hurt efficiency no danger
of hurting the engine.

The H2O actually LOWERS peak pressure and temp in the engine--never heard
of that hurting anything.

Try reading some Ricardo. Also some of the NACA papers (from '30's and
'40's) with research on using water in engines where guys lives were on the
line (WWII aero engines0 ---

Old ideas from old phartes who actually got their hands dirty, more than 50
years ago. COULDN'T be right--they didn't have high speed digital computers
to simulate things with !!! (Hi Bob !!!)
