Hi guys, new to this panel and am grateful for any guidance. I have a 1996 OMC 5.0FI (50FAPNCS) engine on which I just installed a Monitor MFH 5057 Fresh Water Cooing System. After being told by the supplier that this was the correct kit, I found that SEVERAL modifications were necessary. The kit's instructions do not account for the water line coming from the underside of the intake manifold to the old thermostat housing. Tech Support for Monitor advised to just connect that line to the thermostat bypass nipple at the front of the intake manifold, which I did.
Question: upon further inspection, I see what appears to be a cooling line coming from the side of the Fuel Reservoir. From what I can see without removing the upper intake, it appears that it attaches to the underside of the upper intake, and then continues into the line I described earlier that went to the old thermostat housing. I believe there is also a line off this leg that runs to the Map sensor? If my observations are correct, would this line from the fuel reservoir have raw water in it from the two larger lines that connect to the reservoir that are obviously raw water fed?
I have searched and searched for information and/or diagrams of the reservoir, but nothing is really clear in this. I obviously don't want to feed raw water through the reservoir and into the intake and then the engine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
