Hey gang
Just remember with that water tank in the drivers compartment and it's
connections can be a major problem if a line comes off or the tank ruptures
from pressure or getting upside down.
I remember a fire bottle getting loose in a car that crashed and the clamps
broke, the bottle was connected to a hose a whipped around the inside of the
car. Sure messed things up, the driver was lucky to not get hit in this case.
The same with in hot liqued within the area of the driver needs considereable
thought on mounting etc. Hot water or oil ain't no fun.
