If your talking about the snow making machines on that little hill in Edmonton, your probably right. But on a real mountain, the wind carries the mist farther so it has more time to freeze before it hits the ground. I pretty much lived on a skill hill for 5 years and I have moved and operated these things-it does not need to be -10C, but it does need to be at least a few degrees below zero.
But this is OT
It shows I wasn't wrong. Didn't you read the posts? I pretty much spelled it out.
Kick his ass, Sea Bass!
im only a few hours away....bottle in hand....
Find a Dmax first. Cyl pressure testing is done through the glow plug port.
After reading therough 4 pages of BS that I was behind on I got little to no usable tech data. Water freezing on the outside tells me nothing about the W/M that was inside the pipe. For one Methanol lowers the freezing temp of water - the air on the outside of the intake tracts (I'm guessing a humid day) would stick to any surface colder than the ambient air, just like "sweat" on a glass of ice water. If that surface is below freezing the "sweat" will freeze, just like a frozen bottle of water will form frost on a hot humid day. You add a fan to keep plenty of humid air flowing over the cold surface for the water to be taken out of and temps a little further below 32* and you get sheets of ice quickly. What does all or any of that have to do with water/meth/air mixture flowing at 200mph inside the tube? Washer fluid is W/M and doesn't freeze until well below 32*, the higher the meth % the lower the freezing point. Now can we stop arguing about the chemistry/physics of water (which isn't too relavent to W/M anyway) and who runs what brand of truck and get back to helpful info about nitrous on a turbo diesel.
I got a few LBZ's build up and ready to go, one will be in my pro stock truck in about a month. i'll be dyno tuning the engine untill then,wanna play?

Just trying to get a relevant reason why this was happening and how would this associate with whats going on inside. Maybe this brings reason to the question and stated info? It was in a very dry state in June at 5600ft alt. I did state the freezing temps of meth earlier. The windshield washer fluid (I assure you) WILL freeze when the N2O hits it at around -120 or so. Running a 50/50 (unwise from predetonation) will lower it some, but not nearly enough. This was also in reply to a question presented that was relative to this thread.
Reality, we don't use 100% nitrous. If lucky, maybe 20%. Take 4 parts 100 degree air, 1 part -120 nitrous, you get 60 degree charge.
I don't think, in reality, that freezing meth/H20 is likely in the summer. To get to the -40 F (or C) needed, means an OD in my opinion. Probably could be done in the winter, but I wouldn't use WMI in cold weather, I justy don't see the benefit. But like all the rest of you,
but what do I know!

Well "tested" or "refined" before production may have been a better word choice

They were in "production" well before you had one in your truck:rofl:
Exactly what did you "refine"?? A line in the instructions that reads......"If you are dumber than a bag of hammers: Read Here":rofl::rofl:
