The other example is once the manifold pressure switch failed, the water was continuously injected (in a rush hour traffic jam) until I could find a place to pull over & unplugged the fuse. I barely managed to do that because when low rpm/off boost/idle, full flow of 0.7mm jet really made the engine stumble. I could only kangarooed along weakly. By this, the water for a whole week was injected within several minutes.

Fortunately there's no permanent damage.

Interestingly, we have a few nervious users putting two pressure switches in parallel (806-157) electrically. Being normaly closed switching configuration, both of the switch has to be open-circuited in order for the WI to activate.
