1. Water will rust metal. Some allows resist corrosion but they cost more which increases cost and engineering complexity.
2. Water freezes at a higher temp than diesel.... Which means you need to worry about keeping the water warm enough it dosnt freeze or turn into a slushie.
3. Water varies based on location. I doubt this works for salt water but let's say we decided to add water to the combustion process....now you need to worry about hard vs soft water and how that wears down everything or impacts efficiency. Or do you need reverse osmosis or distilled water?
