From my understanding, the water would not be consumed, but for the sake of argument lets just say it is and go from there.
I think the net result might be closer to an extra 60-80 lbs. An 18 gallon tank of water would be reduced to just under 11 gallons, add in the weight of the tank and you're at 100 lbs, give or take. But you also have 60 lbs
less gasoline to lug around. So thats an extra 40 lbs, but why don't we call it 60, in case the savings aren't as substantial as hoped (radical technology has a bad habit of doing that)
If the conventional cooling system can be ditched, that will offset the extra weight of the pumps and plumbing for this system. If not, well then thats added weight, maybe 20 lbs? Add it up and roughly 80 lbs extra as a maximum, but its possible to be around half that.
