Fw 190 A-4
In July 1942, the A-3 was replaced on the production lines by the newer Fw 190A-4 version.
The main difference was an BMW 801 D-2 engine adapted to use with a MW 50 system for short period engine power increase by injection of a water-methanol (methyl alcohol CH3OH) mixture in the proportion of 1:1.
In this way it was possible to raise engine power to 2100 kW for 10 minutes, after which a high probability of engine failure prevented longer use.
Due to delays in MW 50 device production, this system was not mounted on the Fw 190A-4 engines, which had the capability to accept this system.
It was not used and only A-8 and later series planes would use the advantages of this invention.
Fw 190 A-8
A new model with different equipment.
Most important were parts of the MW 50 injection system, used for short term engine power boost. A cylindrical tank of 118 litres capacity was mounted in the rear fuselage.
In an emergency, it could be used as additional fuel tank..

erhöhte Notleistung boost
not is MW 50 .
FW 190 A4 No boost

FW 190 A8 MW 50 boost
FW 190 A9 MW 50 boost
FW 190 D9 1944 erhöhte Notleistung boost
FW 190 D9 1945 MW50 boost
Its a fact
IMHO.
