When it comes to being old and weird, I'll defer to your many years of experience, Haich.
But even the troll JéBêWèX and I know that the water shouldn't be ALL the way to the top,
but at about the 3/4 level; otherwise it might get carried past the throttle and into the cylinders -
a serious no-no. OTOH, if the water gets too low then you get that big Bang discussed above ...
