I'm trying to pin down the HOM buttons exact effect on the fuel system now. I think that the reason manufacturers are reluctant to implement W/I is that they are scared of "Joe Sixpack" as the average consumer is sometimes referrred to.

As shown by early Dodge turbo efforts in the 1980s, most folks refuse to take needed steps to ensure longevity. So turbos got a bad name becuase they (owners) blew off oil changes, and ran the cars hard and shut down with no cooldown.

So any system that requires the owner to take action beyond "install fuel nozzle, squeeze handle" is looked upon as a source of potential liability. A friend of mine knows some folks :wink: , so I asked him to quiz them about W/I.

Their response was that it was just something else to break. I think this is why we got a sprayer instead of injection.

I've gotten the green light to spend whatever cash I get from the sale of components replaced by Stage 3R on water injection. I'm hoping to rasie enough for the 2D, we'll see.
