Surmount, I think I am right in saying that there was also an incident with water injection: it was a case of a twin flame-out on a BAC 1-11, Germany, I think, where water-methanol was accidentally filled into the injector systems instead of demin water. Memory is a bit foggy but I seem to recall that the water-methanol mixture didn't mix completely (probably lower density) with existing water in the system and on t/o the existing gallons of water in the tanks did very nicely until the mix came through, (abt 1000'?) whereupon there was a flame out. I can recall a superb piece of airmanship and a landing on an autobahn - some survivors - maybe someone else has a better recall...
