The one mounted on the firewall over on the passenger side behind the charcoal canister?You don't need it,but if you want to keep it it uses a miture of 90% anti-freeze and 10% water.It is supposed to inject this mixture into the motor when the temperature is below 0 to aid in starting.

Actually, MAZDA says to remove it. They put a TSB that it is useless, and doesn;t work. The resevoir qshould be removed, and the actuator removed and fitted with a block off plate.

MAZDA may even do this for you, take it to your delearship.

Just rip that **** out, pull off the upper intake manifold and take off the actuator. Block it off or fill it w/ jb weld.
