So the project car i'm planning will be an all year car, i know i will use an aquamist system in the summer, but in the winter would it just be best to clean it out and turn it off so no water freezes inside it? i'm not planning on running alot of boost in the winter, and if i do turn it up i think 30* air throuh the intercooler will be more than enough.
no, i hit an elderly man in a minivan who cut across the road and totaled both cars. The bike cop just like jumped off his bike and ran over to see if we were ok.
yup.. mix with alcohol of some sort to drop the freezing temp and you'll be fine.
or you can dump the water out of the tank and fill with some sort of non-freezing fluid (like washer fluid) and turn the system off for the winter. in the spring, dump that stuff back out and fill with water again.

Interesting article on acetone you found, we use it in chem lab to break the surface tension of water but I never really thought about using it to do the same thing to gas.
i knew a guy with a v8 Explorer who got 35-40mpg regularly with acetone. But i think water would eat less performance, plus alch puts a shizzle load of carbon desosites in your engine.
If you're already using aquamist, then it's a moot point to whine about water or alcohol hurting/helping performance. you already know the answer to that, or you wouldn't be running the aquamist to begin with.

But i'm not, i'm planning on putting it into a project car but i want to know what i should do with it for the winter? i thought about routing some hot water past the tank to defreeze it but i doubt i even need it inthe winter. So i assume i'll just empty it out and rely onthe intercooler in thee winter.
Use a 20% Methanol/water mixture or use windshield anti-freeze additives that contain methanol or Iso-propanol, normal rubbing alcohol. Methanol is better than other forms of alcohol. Avoid using Ethanol based additives such as De-natured alcohol or Methylated spirit.

Once again, doesn't alch create carbon deposits in the engine? And degrade performance (and emissions) signifigantly?
