Heard of this being done before. buddy had a Labonte kit on his 7.3, parked downhill one night and the water/meth leaked into intake and went to start the truck and bent a few rods. Not surprising to be honest. Snow will tell you to kick rocks, I wouldn't even bother. Sorry to hear..:eek:

Only way I can see it happening is if a solenoid got stuck open somehow. It can happen I suppose. Never had any issues with my Labonte kit I used to run.

The directions clearly state that the reservoir needs to be below the nozzles to keep this from happening. Clearly you did not follow the instructions during the install and now you have to pay the consequences. Fluid will not flow uphill. http://youtu.be/ZeOUfzZbEqc

Mine leaked down so much the starter couldn't turn the engine over. Mine was an earlier kit without a solenoid for the smaller nozzle. I bought a solenoid for it.

My snow controller malfunctioned and the solenoid was left wide open. That's why I'm going fuel only.
Ok maybe some nitrous too

Tough to mount the tank they give you so it's not above the nozzles. All the ones I saw mount in the box. An under box tank would work if someone had one-which may be available now. Wasn't when I ran water/meth.
