Yes I have installed three of them on POS Maxxfarce buses. The ONLY thing that made them at all tolerable to drive

I never liked the idea of using washer fluid. The winter stuff would be best as it has the most alcohol in it but regardless there is also detergent. That cannot be good for any engine. We did mix our own barrels of fluid but now you can buy 45gal drums of water meth blend for this purpose. Running straight water even in the summe (when it doesn't get frozen) still helps improve performance.

So, what kind of performance gains did you see? Any fuel economy gains? I’ve done this on gasoline cars and it worked good.

Yep, lots of benefit I listed above. No down side I Have experienced or can think of. It’s a win win.

So it looks like you used the snow performance kit. What size tank did you use? The reason I ask it looks like the tanks are quite small.

They have a large tank that we used.. I think it was 20 liters or a bit more.
