Abstract
NOx emissions from gasoline engines are reduced by mixing water in the gasoline to reduce combustion temperatures. The water is dispersed in the gasoline as the gasoline is delivered to the cylinders. When the engine is not operating, the water separates from the gasoline and causes rusting. In accordance with this invention, the mixing of water into the gasoline is terminated before the engine is shut off so as to purge the system of the water/gasoline dispersion so that there no longer is water in the fuel supply system by the time the engine is stopped.
