Anyone tried to use a cars A/C system to fill the water injection tank? Most modern cars run A/C, which tends to be switched on (even when the heater is set to hot or demist), you see large puddles of water under cars coming from the HVAC drain hoses, it's clean water, so what about using it to top up the W/I system resevoir???? :?:

you're talking about the byproduct of the a/c condenser, eh?

Good idea, that is distilled water that is simply thrown away on the road. There is quite some quantity, too, especially in the summer, where you'd need W.I. mostly too. We're talking about an extra tank and scavange pump though.
