Does anyone know the fluid capacity of the intercooler system?
Ford doesn't seem to know and my owner's manual is in the truck...which is in storage.

For adding fluid, is using regular tap water okay for my 50/50 mix?

Thanks.

 

id go buy a gallon of distilled water for your mix.

 

Distilled water and one bottle of water wetter!

 

The stock capacity of our intercooler system is 1.05 gallons. I suggest regular 50/50 mix.

 

To answer your question directly, NO, tap water is not fine. Nor is mineral water. You need distilled or RO water.

 

Got tired of searching for Fuse Layouts...

so are you using the complete bottle of water wetter? i was thinkin about takin and using water wetter and 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water since the cold temps here are below freezing sometimes i dont need my intercooler freezin up at all with just the water and water wetter. how much should i drain out of the intercooler and replace with how much of the water wetter? i just wanted to run it thru the i/c and not the engine, ive got an engine temp guage that reads me plenty cool even durin the summertime so i dont want to run it in the engine, just i/c...

 

Don't use tap water.

 

i figured that was a givin and i didnt have to type that lol.

 

Don't you work at a Ford dealership?

 

lol i did, but i dont anymore, so i dont have all the expendible resources and things i use to have lol.

 

I thought I remembered reading that somewhere...figured it would be an easy look-up for you but obviously it's not the case anymore.

 

yea would be, but not the case anymore. is anyone running 50/50 with water wetter in their i/c? if so can u tell me what ur mix is...so i dont have to try and wing it lol
