Based on what I have read so far, we have some serious science that says it is true under some really well defined, expensive laboratory conditions (custom built engines). Then some company mixes some of the truth with some of their greed and ends up with an over stated and over sold DIY kit. Good science, questionable execution.
It is not that I don't understand the law its just like david has stated. While it may be in a different manner it is possible without breaking the law. Whether the DIY will work I will see for myself.
The injection I have seen seems to always be in the y pipe, and they use a flashback arrester to prevent a flashback from coming back through the system. But I think it will be a fun summer project at the very least if it doesn't work its no real loss to me. Thanks for the constructive/informative info.
I still cant believe someone gave me a negative rep for starting this thread.
