If either of our '44s spins a number 2 after a rebuild, I think the other person should do the honors of blowing the car up.

Maybe you should have some backup when you test it...

Thanks Chris. You know, I bet the freeze also broke the seal between the bottle and the tubing. But, since the system wasn't pressurized, none of the liquid exited the tubing so it was undetectable externally. This would explain why the bottle didn't have any liquid in it.

Now, I potentially need to get a new seal.

Does anyone here know whether the AFFF solution could clog up the tubing when the seal is broken in this manner? I doubt it, but . . .
