David, I don't see a problem here. I don't want to mix water with diesel I just want to introduce a little water vapour into the combustion process. I can't see any difference between petrol and diesel powered engines here except that the diesel does not have the manifold vacuum to create the fog. This is where I need a pressure pump to pump a small amount of water into a misting nozzle placed at the air intake. Alternatively I could use an air pump to blow air through the water container (via the air stone) and feed the moisture laiden air to the inlet manifold. Have I been missing something here, am I on the right track?
