Just wondering about this

P.S. VW has some of the better screwups such as:
-Painted my rotors(not the actual hats but the rotors also)
-Running straight water through crankcase to clean gunk out of engine (had to rebuild engine)
-and the nitrous install tapping into the gas tank
Whats best is they all provided pics as proof.
Not hating on the VW forums, it just seems some of the funnier stuff comes from them.

Man, that kid never posted again.

I know you have to be tuned for it to really help you out. And some would be wasted when not needed but what is the difference? Just curious.
The difference is:
When alky/meth is released into the track - it's released/sprayed as a fine mist.
If you remember anything about chemistry - to change something from one state to another - in this case liquid vapor to gaseous form - a certain amount of energy is required.
Basically when the vapor is sprayed it cools the charge down - by absorbing heat. This in effect cools the combustion chamber. Cooler - denser charge means you can pack more oxygen molecules into the cylinder.
When you do this you get a bigger explosion. Kapisce?

Otherwise how would water injection work? Water doesnt burn.
I was about to answer this, but you saved me the time. Makes me wonder if the first few posters who didnt have anything constructive to say actually knew how it worked.
Dont forget that you can buy gas with lots of alcohol already in it (E85), which is ethanol rather than methanol (but basically the same deal) and that doesnt make your car run like it has an alky kit on it
to answer the question....you cant because you dont put it in the fuel line. its sprayed into the intake (right before the throttle body in the only set up ive seen personally) to cool the intake charge.
Also you are not tapping into the fuel line/rail your spraying into the intake track. You can't put Meth in the tank because it is highly corrosive.
Use a Meth kit and a can of Torco you'll be more than fine.
