I don't know what you're planning on doing with the jars, but the answer is almost certainly not.

I do not know as well your intentions, though why don't fill this jar by gasoline and when your car stops use stored in gasoline for mileage increasing. Sure it's easiest way :).

In fact using water jars in a car will increase the weight according to it the losses and reduce the mileage. exactly the opposite of what you expect.

Unless they're Texas pitstops in which case mileage would go up when you don't have to slow down, just dump 'em out the window in front of Volvos.

Hello, TV45!

Your idea is cool just for using a car as multi-step rocket. Jars should be shot out for not only mileage but speed increasing.

Seems ours guest is some shocked by opened perspectives.

Have a nice day.

Hello nick name!

I've meant just only one jar filled a gasoline for accidental case. It won't increase weight significantly but mileage .

Is this thread something to do with the six-stroke internal combustion engine?

Good time of day PWSlack,

Yes this link would have a sense for post topic. But what we need to do with mentioned jars. Sorry for my poor language. It seems ours Guest had no time for a while to make his/her ques more clear.


Kind regards.

Did you mean "water injection"?

My dad tried this with the family car when I was growing up in the 60's. Vacuum gauge on steering column with a jet type valve, tube running through firewall to a big jar on the transmission humo. Noisey! He claimed a little improvement...
