happened to me when i found a leak the first time on my T500, got barely 2L from a 25L wash and it was mostly tails n heads

Always add alcohol to water not vice versa. Cant remenber the chemistry exactly but something to do with the reaction that occurs and heat that is generated (on a molecular level) when the ratio of alcohol to water is high. Whereas if you add alcohjol to water that reaction doesnt occur because the water % is always higher.

Not the other way around.
By adding acid to water it dilutes instantly.
Adding water to acid will react violently as the full strength acid boils the water due to exothermic reaction and there is a possibility of it boiling and splashing acid on you.

If you can't detect any leaks why add plumbing tape to the joins? The seal between the sections is what seals it and the tri clamp merely applies the pressure to do it.
