← TechnologyWhich risk increases when using water-methanol injection without proper engine tuning in a turbocharged engine?
A)Increased risk of catastrophic engine knock✓
B)Elevated exhaust gas temperatures and backpressure
C)Premature turbocharger bearing failure
D)Clogged fuel injectors from methanol polymerization
💡 Explanation
When water-methanol injection is used without proper tuning, lean spikes can occur because the ECU isn't optimized to compensate adding supplementary and highly volatile fuel, inducing uncontrolled pre-ignition events causing knock. Therefore knock risk increases, rather than increased EGT, turbo failure, or clogged injectors which depend on very different fuel control parameters.
