Intercooler Water, Question for the W/A guys Options

[Defgeph]

I'm just wondering what causes this water to rise and fall in the video below. I open the bleeder on the heat exchanger while filling it with water. So I know thats full of water. Is this normal operation? Or is there still air in there.

Water pump is wired to run constantly. The car is not running in this video, you are hearing the fans running. I forgot to shut them down.



Thanks guys,
DEF

i think what jeff is talking about is damage to the electric water pump. its just like with water injection pumps. on some of them you cant use 100% meth because it will damage the seals inside the pump, over time.

but since you are mixing it with water, i dont think it could cause any real damage. then again, who knows.

You are correct sir. The lifespan on parts associated in the water system would not last as long. Diluted or not, you still have a corrosive property in the system. The system was designed for a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. Not water and a methanol based product.
