Post Script. For those not wishing to add a second injector. Mixing Diesel, detergent and Water. The diesel remains in suspension then seperates at cylinder temperature, resulting in diesel combustion flash heated Steam. This of course extinguishes all engine warranty. Our hill climb testing resulted in first gear changing to fourth gear.

Hello vzon17.
The idea you read about is highly practible to a point. Unfortunately though the Diesel compression needs heat to continue its existance. It is true the steam created would drive the diesel for a period however as it cooled it would come to a stop.
Should you wish to run the diesel for longer using a similiar principal then use the injectors to insert liquid CO2, its so senstative to heat a radiator temperature above 0*C will set all in motion, it works even better if you knock out the intake rocker and leave only the exhaust working every second not fourth stroke of the piston.

The idea is quite practical and in fact has been in use for many years. One method is to have a secondary injector on a Diesel engine. Diesel burns at 1200*C and its heat is fully absorbed by the injected water. The other is a mixture of water, diesel and detergent without a secondary injector. I cannot tell you power such gives as Steam charts stop at 600*C 175 bar pressure. When I enquired as to 1200*C men in black visited and explained it confidential. Should you choose to do such adaption it helps if you ceramic sleeve the cylinders to stop pitting from occuring.
