BS, that really did happen. No kidding. It was just plain, cold, ordinary tap water the attendant poured into the petrol tank. It was a white Honda Accord. There were no cups of tea involved.. The little warm-up petrol tank in the engine compartment wasn't enough to run the car [of course, being only 1 litre capacity]. The motor looked like a regular Honda Accord motor except that there was of course a tube to the motor and a temperature sensitive solenoid valve [to turn on and off the petrol "cold start" supply]. There was a small contraption on top of the inlet manifold. Other than that, it looked like an ordinary Honda Accord. Maybe there was some trickery involved. If so, it wasn't obvious. What explanation other than what the driver of the "water powered car" can you come up with? Hmmm...maybe it was actually a methanol powered car, and the water that went into the regular tank would just mix with the methanol and dissolve and be no problem. That does seem more likely than it being a water-powered car as the attendant was told and thought and raved. No doubt that attendant is still telling people about the time an actual, real, water-powered car called into his petrol station and he himself put the water in the fuel tank. Perhaps that's how stories keep going around that there really are water-powered cars but the oil companies buy up the technology and bury it so they can keep on selling petrol. Mqurice
