Why in the info does it say the fuel system is "water-methanol injection"? The fuel system should either be a carburetor or fuel-injection, should it not? Water-methanol is simply a power-boosting device to allow more fuel to be burned or boost to be increased. That's like someone asking me whether my car is injected or carburetted and me answering "it's got nitrous". "Yes, but...". I came wondering whether the Kasei was injected or carburetted, and whether it was an updraft or downdraft induction, and all I find is that it had water-methanol injection. That is in ADDITION to the fuel delivery system, not instead of it. I can read that as "fuel injection with water-methanol injection" but it's not at all obvious or certain. .45Colt 18:13, 2 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs)
The fact was added in this edit by an apparently retired editor who did not cite their sources or leave edit summaries, it's also possible from their user name that English was not their first language, difficult to know.
Yes, it was an incorrect entry (just a misunderstanding I would have thought). Assuming good faith we can be fairly sure that the variant described had water injection but we don't know whether it had a carburettor or fuel injection. I've checked some sources (Jane's 1945, Bill Gunston and the Flight archive) which don't yield much detail. Jane's say that later engines were fuel injected (so I would assume that early ones had a carburettor), as we don't know for sure I have hidden the entry until a better source is found.
