Let alone keeping in mind all the radiation you will be collecting, since japan nuke reactors are still til these day leaking, considering you're on a good geographical location (finland) risk zones america&the Ecuator zones risk and high levels reported, save your life some free years of cancer free life and buy bottle of processed distilled water bro

If you are too lazy to fill your injection tank what makes you think you're going to check your water filtration system and keep it maintained Distilled water here is like .89 cents a gallon. I'm lazy about filling mine so I put a 5 gallon boat fuel tank in the trunk and don't have to fill it very often.

Thanks for the feedback guys! You are correct, checking coffee filters/switching them out is a lot more work than I want. I came up with a new idea, fuel filter. I went to the local autopartsstore today, picked up a Nissan Micra fuel filter.

Should be maintenance free, and last the lifetime of the system.

This is happening. Not even radiation can stop this. I'll upload some pics when the first prototype is done.

I'm not sure what kind of flow rate you're going to get from that in an unpressurized system.

First prototype is done

Materials used:


Funnel spray painted black, wedged in there with mesh on top.


Fuel filter bonded to tank:


Things that need improving.
-Ditch the hose between the funnel/filter, and use something you dont have to disconnect each time you open the trunk
-Make the external hole neater looking. Now you get a shower drain vibe off it. I'll post a pic if I solve that.

All in all, very satisfied
