“Water” injection was typically a mix of water and methanol. It did two things. Cooled the engine (methanol) while you are in the process of beating the crap out of it and provided reaction mass (water) in the form of steam. We lived on several KC135 bases during my dad’s Airforce career. When those suckers launched they would break china for miles!
