did they use distilled or preheated water where they show the engines running

I use mostly distilled water but I add some bottled water and then I preheat a bit in a kettle but not enough to melt the plastic funnel when I fill my engines. its like 95 distilled 5% bottled water because the distilled water drains the nutrients out of the metal and having some regular water will neutralize that. Do not use tap water it just leaves mineral deposits

"dribblers", I've only read those described as "piddlers" for the leaks they had on the floor, I think you'll fnd that dribblers are a type of footballer. Not to be confused with divers which they frequently are too.
