Thanks for the heads up on the water issue.
I brew small batches, water wash & settle for two weeks @ 70*F, then filter to 1 micron absolute.
I've never found any water in dregs drained from the fuel filter which is checked every 1000 miles.
Update on the modification: dedicated coolant loop takes 15 minutes after engine is at op. temp to get to 150*F so the gravity flow is not circulating. Looking into increasing the ID of the hot side & or using a pump to improve circulation. Gravity would be nice ... no moving parts, but the nominal sizes available in soft copper tubing limits the gizmo to 1/2" , 3/4" & 3/4" is a very tight fit under the IP lines.
If everything was easy, drunks would rule! Oh, well several have been presidents!!! Rich drunks don't count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
