It will not be completely empty. Once the pressure drops below 22 psi, on the valve the system will stop spraying. There will definately be water in the line.
Oh, I would think that once engine vacuum sucks in through the nozzle(s) it would empty out the line.
take a straw and dip it in water. Take your thumb and put it over the other end of the straw and see if the water falls out.
vacuum cant open the valve, the water cant come out. this is why our new trunk mount kits can have 15 feet of hose after the checkvalve and stop spraying with in a split second and start spraying instantly. water stays in the line.

But I am referring to the line after the CV, that goes to the nozzles? How does the CV prevent that from getting sucked in?

So am I. if the valve is closed and there is water in the line and the valve does not come open, water cant seep out. Do the experiment I told you, think of your thumb as the checkvalve and the other side the hose that connects to the checkvalve.

Or you can just trust me.
Haha, I trust you. I was having a hard time visualizing it.
Just installed my new CoolingMist nozle that screws directly into a threaded hole(in my cold side pipe), also have the 90 deg fitting with the new quik-release hose fitting on it.
All I can say, is the new hose fitting is "MONEY!!!" , so simple and so easy to remove.
Thanks again CoolingMist

It was just a question, I was curious so I asked it. I don't notice any lag or anything.
Thanks again David.
