methnal or propane injection?

i would do water/ meth injection. it helps clean the engine, runs cooler, and isn't harmful to the engine like propane.

if you need 50mpgs, get a small commuter... Not tryin to be a dick but that's what id do.

Water/Meth can be just has harmful and doesn't provide much if any MPG gains.

Like James said if you want even 20+ MPG buy a car

articfox 01-16-2012 07:49 PM

ok cool and i never heard that methonal hurt your motor if you get the right brand like snow methanol kits

a buddy of mine has a 6.6 dirtymax and he just has an edge in it and put water/meth and his mileage went up from 16-17 to 19-22

articfox 01-16-2012 07:56 PM

will do just gota get the money for one what stage did he get the max mpg?

joebob3093 01-16-2012 08:14 PM

It doesn't matter who's kit you buy you can still ruin an engine with it.

95powersmoker 01-16-2012 09:16 PM

IMO intake exhaust and tuned and that's about the MPG's that you will get... water meth is great for EGT controlling. Propane is great for bbq'ing. You might help yourself by switching from split shot injectors to single shot injectors... But when it's all said and done, you are still driving an 8k lb diesel pick up. Driving style is also a major factor in MPG's..

I know I'm not helping... Just throwing in my .02

out of curiosity, how can water/ meth ruin a engine?

strokinf350 01-17-2012 07:23 PM

ya same her.. ive been told that water meth is actually better for your engine?:s:

fordornothing 01-17-2012 08:08 PM

i've hear that water/ meth and propane can help with mpg's, but 50 is b.s.. now propane can be safe if used in small amounts. but it runs hot if you use to much.

joebob3093 01-17-2012 08:36 PM

Ask CSIPSD, he knows alot about this kind of thing.

articfox 01-17-2012 09:56 PM

well any kind of aftermarket injector-ant in large amounts can hurt your motor but i doubt methanol can seriously affect your motor unless you overuse the recommended amount

Use water injection to cool egt's...

Run Propane to cook your steaks...

Run Diesel Fuel to drive your truck...

Anyone who tells you they get 50mpg with a 8k truck, is FOS.

fordornothing 01-18-2012 08:00 PM

do cars even get 50? LOL. can running water/ meth be harmful to your engine?

CSIPSD 01-18-2012 09:27 PM

If you install the kit incorrectly yes.

If you run too much methanol, yes.

If you hydro lock the motor, yes...

joebob3093 01-18-2012 09:57 PM

Yes cars can get 50mpg
