Quick Question

What does the sub zero reservoir do? I have one in my engine bay but I have no idea what it does, if it helps it start in the winter that would be awesome!

It injects a mix of 90/10% antifreeze/water into the intake to prevent icing in cold weather. California vehicles never came with it and Mazda issued a TSB recommending removal of the rest. Does it help, maybe in extreme cold, but I've never needed one.

Alright thanks guys! Well, I have no idea if it even works, it had no fluids or anything in it when I got it. So I may just remove the system.
