    Posted: 08 Nov 2008 at 7:00pm
I have a DS Frostbite Dual Loop Watercooled rig, and I was wondering if it was ok for me to put it on its side for awhile to move it by car, or if I would need to drain it before moving it.  Thanks in advance!

if its gonna be upright and tight and won't move at all then you are OK. but you might have a spill if it moves or if the car makes turns too fast.

It's perfectly fine to put it in your car. Spin it upside, 360' everything.
 
It's an air-tight system. There won't be any leaks. Drive as fast as you want in your car. Just make sure you don't damage the chassis.
 
Warm Regards,
Alex
