i would think it depends on the number of cars that use it and the amount
they use. I am afraid to say your arguement for it being ok is the same one
used 100 years ago for putting sewage in a river.. It is only a little bit..
if 50 cars use it and all use 3 to 7 gallons thats an average of 5 per car
every 4 or 5 minutes.. or 60 gallons an hour.. on a cool day with damp salt
i think i differ in your opinion as to what is a little water. it's a
traction game and anyone doing this will not make my traction better..
A solution i would personally go for is if you piped any and all water that
did not evaporate into the header to be turned to steam there.
