Has anyone any experience with this system from Red Motorsports?
I don't have an issue and don't plan on buying one, just wondering if anyone here has first hand experience. https://www.red-emotorsports.com/shop/Spray...tem-c163183162/ |

No experience with theirs
Used to run an inner tube in the rear trunk Electric pump, old 914 washer nozzle, and a switch This was for sprint races in a type 4 back in the 90’s Great for head temps on a hot day About 15 minutes of life from an inner tube with 7? Maybe more gallons |

I think for a bus its a fantastic idea.
I don't know if its necessary for a 914. But for a bus, especially a Westy, and you are loaded with camp gear and climbing up a mountain - its a fantastic idea to help keep the heads cool. Zach |

I'd like to see some real world testing/data with one of these installed.
I can't see why to pre-order until proven. For now, it's just a "cool" idea. |

I've often thought of use of one of these misting nozzles used in restaurant outdoor venues to spray a minute quantity of water. A tiny water quantity would big a big help in extreme heating conditions. Would need a high pressure pump.
I don't need it for my situation. Barefoot |

Imagine this system has a restriction to reduce the amount of water. Make it last longer
Back at the time. I assumed more water equals more cooling |
