Don't think it could ever happen from water in the gas, even at 100% concentration. Hydrolock would be from either head gaskets or sucking water through the intake

In the gas still shoot it into the cylinder, doesn’t matter how it gets there, water in the cylinder is what causes hydro lock.

It'll only shoot as much as it would shoot gas. Nowhere near enough to cause hydrolock. If your injectors are dumping in that much water they'd dump in that much fuel. Fuel will hydrolock an engine just as well as water.
