You see these misting systems all over the place in outdoor bars, patio's, now i see pretty cheap 12 volt systems on Amazon.
Seems like a good way to provide short term extra cooling by spraying finely atomized water into the engine cooling fan. Should drop cylinder head temps nicely. Has anyone ever tried these ??? |

They are good for very short periods
15 more minutes More volume is more effective We found a windshield spray nozzle into the running fan to work best It’s an old school racing trick I used this 20 years ago Not worth the hassle for a street car |
