newspaper article from Hayward Daily Review, 7 June 1973.
Quote:
Student Project: Aiming for clean car

... Most of the cars entered by the students were procurred in a variety of ways, including using ones owned by the students themselves. However, one of the teams from the organizing campus, U.C. Davis, was supplied a 1973 Datsun 1200 Coupe by the Nissan Motor Corp. in U.S.A., distributors of Datsun in the U.S.

...a special fuel system powered by ethyl alcohol... injected with 5% water to increase horsepower
