Maintenance
Remove nozzle(s) and clean screen filters once per year using a calcium removing formula such as
CLR®
The Boost Cooler® has been designed to operate with high concentrations of methanol. Oil or other
additives are not required for system lubrication, and can cause damage to the system.
Contaminants in the fluid such as dirt can damage the system. Ensure that dirt and debris do not fall
into the tank. This can lead to solenoid/pump failure.
Do not use Teflon tape or paste to seal connections. These sealers are not as effective as the E-6000
sealant provided and can break down over time with high methanol use, clogging components.
Water-Meth FAQ
Q: How long will a 3 Qt tank of water/methanol last?
A: This depends on a number of variables (HP, injection system, settings, driving style, etc.) For most
gasoline engines in the 250-550 HP range the standard 3Qt reservoir will last around two 12-15 gallon
tanks of gasoline.
Q: What fluids can I use in my water/methanol system?
A: Boost Juice®: This is the best fluid to use and is Snow Performance’s 49% methanol, 51% water
mixture that can be shipped to your door or picked up at a local dealer. (If you are using your washer
reservoir as the injection tank, Boost Juice® is a great washer fluid and can be injected directly on the
windshield without damaging the vehicle.)
• Windshield Washer fluid: Only if it is blue in color and rated for -20 deg F. It should have no special
additives. This means it is safe to use and made of 30% methanol, 70% water. If it is another color or
another temperature rating, do not use it. You can “spike” your Blue -20 Washer fluid to a 50%
mixture by adding 3 12OZ yellow bottles of Heet® gas-line-antifreeze to every gallon of washer fluid.
• Mix your own: You just need to make sure the methanol is “neat” and contains no lubricants or other
additives. We recommend a 50% mixture by volume of M-1 pure grade methanol and distilled water.
• Do NOT use E85 or any other fluid with gasoline mixed in. It will destroy the fluid delivery part of your
Boost Cooler® and instantly void the warranty.
Q: Do I have to have a custom dyno tune with a water-meth kit?
A: While extremely recommended for maximum performance and safety while injecting water-methanol
a custom tune is not necessary to operate the vehicle as long as the following are met. 1) The vehicle is
not utilizing a existing custom tune for the water-methanol 2) A low methanol concentration is being
injected and not severely effecting the air/fuel ratio. Consult your local dyno professional for tune /
recommendation.
