Default Do a few, but then you will have to change the plugs and look for big chunks...

...that may be "trapped" in the cylinder.

Default Actually, once it's primed with water it's pretty quiet...

...I usually only hear it (and then it's still subtle) the first time or two it runs each day.

It does happen that I need to change my plugs next week... Good timing!

Default I'll add up this in my to-do list...

I'll try some ice cold water vs. warm water ; I doubt it will have a big impact but it's sound like a good idea to test it.

What I really want to know is to verify if the addition of a 35%Methanol / 65% H20 mix is sufficient to support Race Octane 100 program using 94 Octane gas. I tend to say no but there is no better way to know than to try it.

... as for how much water the pump consumes, it's easy... You fill completely (to the top) the windshield washer tank and you measure how much you have to add to fill it up again after.

Default I mention tracking how much water you used because some (m)

people who have considered the system wonder if the washer reservoir is sufficient. I don't know if anyone with an S4 has posted the volume used over a measured time. Thought it would be something useful to record.

Default sounds familiar. : )

I came to the conclusion of a water tank size of 5.5"x11"x7.5". goes where the battery used to be. fabricated out of aluminum with a baffle. We'll see how it works out.
