Understanding the Salt Engine: Effects of Salt on an Engine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the detrimental effects of introducing salt into an engine, specifically regarding its impact on combustion processes. Participants unanimously advise against using salt, emphasizing that engines are designed exclusively for petrol and air. Introducing foreign substances like salt can halt engine operation and potentially cause significant damage. The consensus is clear: salt should never be used in any engine context.

I wouldn't recommend you do this, at best it will stop the engine running and could possibly even do some damage.

Your engine is only designed to have petrol and air circulating through the combustion process, so anything else is generally detrimental and not advised.
