Is boost pressure somehow getting back into the tank?

[newsh]

Have you got a good ground on the system? No dry solder joints anywhere?

So i got the flow valve / sensor back from Aquamist and was very eager to get it fitted back on the car and have some meth action.

Aquamist confirmed the rubber bit was enlarged which was restricting the flow - they sent me these bits back with replacements.



I took my time to refit it properly, drained the contaminated water-meth mix from the old tank and half-filled it with clean water then ran it without the valve to remove any old mixture from the pipes and make sure there were no airlocks. I drained 1/2 litre from the tank to ensure it was cleaned through and it as flowing properly.

I presumed given it chucked out 1/2 litre quickly enough that it must be flowing right before the valve and in the meantime ordered 20L of fresh methanol which arrived today so i filled the other 50% of the tank with meth and re-fitted the valve, hooked it all up with the sensor, and was expecting it to be good to go... but no. Same problem.

The moment you come on boost, the water injection light comes on just as you'd expect, and then the water level light comes and stays on. This is the same whether the level sensor is connected or not.

Does anybody have any clue where to even start now... i've just about ****ing had it with this car. Nothing ever ****ing works properly does it? I'm going to drive it straight into a ****ing wall at this rate. That's all the ****ing thing deserves

50L of 50/50 water/meth mix, so 25L of meth would probably last about 2 days on track from what I understand

200L would last me a decent time for sure, it's great value to buy it in bulk, but I'm not sure I fancy storing it all so if anyone wanted some...

I forgot you have a Dmitri tune on your's Mine's a bit more conservative!

I wouldn't buy 200ltrs, I bought a 25ltr drum from Trinity Chemicals and it's lasted well over 8000miles.

Yeah, just trying to work out how much methanol is a safe amount to store in the garage.

The 200L is tempting because it's such good value after you factor in postage on a 20L, but sounds rather dangerous!

Methanol group-buy anyone?

So the WMI problem was restricted flow caused by the check valve.

The o-ring in the valve has swelled which is blocking the flow, likely as a result of mixing the meth mix in an old race fuel can... Rubber and hydrocarbons don't mix

The valve is being sent back to Aquamist to get the o-ring changed and I'll drain the entire system and flush with water before sourcing some new, hopefully uncontaminated, methanol.

Can't watch video either

I can't view it

Same...

[Error404]

Andy you need to mirror the video image so it looks like LHD, and load it up under a different user ID

[quattrostyle]

Back, for now.

I can't view it

WMI can be any number of things:
1) Failsafe messed with, thus always going into failsafe mode (were the gauge trimmers adjusted?)
2) No actual flow due to pump not turning on or blocked pickup.
3) Leak

I've never ever had a single problem with an Aquamist kit I've fitted. First thing to do is to remove the jets, aim them somewhere and put it in test mode to see if it sprays or not.

The guys repairing the road couldn't get enough of it
