What go's around....usually stays gone.

Back in the day, 1988 to be exact, we had a '85 Jeep GW 360 that really struggled up the long hills even with the itty-bitty 63 22' Safari.

I finally MacGyver'd a solution.....water & blue washer fluid injection.

Coincidently using a Bosch CIS cold start valve, with a Bosch HP fuel pump, (from the warranty bin at the Volvo dealership.)
Flip on the pump when needed, and watch the needle drop.....spark plugs & cylinders spotless!!

Bob, one of the old aircraft I worked on, even older than your C130s, was the C119/R4Q Flying Boxcar. The Marine Corps version had two Wright 3350 radial engines that used water and alcohol injection into the carburetors to boost power on takeoff. I don't remember if it kept the engines clean, but it certainly added horses to get those old beasts in the air. Semper Fi...

My Uncle Gene turned me on to it when I was just a tyke...he was in the AAC in WW2, stories all the time about what they had to do to 'keep 'em fly'n'.

He was the reason I enlisted in the Air Wing.

POI....flew non-stop once from El Toro CA to Pensacola FLA with one of the last non-com pilots in a C47 built in 1939, the Corp kept their planes & traditions.

Didnt Oldsmobile and Buick actually have a system called "rocket fuel/ boost" on some engines in the late 50s/ 1960?
Same thing!

Sure did...combined with a turbocharger.

On the jeep I just mounted the cold start injector on the air cleaner above the carb butterfly.

Will the Bosch unit make my truck sound like D-model Buff running the pumps during takeoff?

I WANT IT!
