    This is your problem:

    You created a water trap for condensation. Make sure the tube does not have any low spots and your problem will be solved.

    I combined the A/C drain mod with Diff Breather Mod and my fluid looks like milk. Should I reverse the hose?

    Nah! Open up the left drain hole in the bed with a long drill bit and plumb both of those puppies right into the fuel tank.

    I only used one hose. Your plan will require a T fitting and more hose. I probably just need an overflow on top of the diff but I can’t get the drill in there and no way I’m taking it out to do it.

    If pressure builds bubbles will travel thru the water. Same thing happens when an undersea vent expels gas and somehow the bubbles rise to the surface…

    I’d rather stay away from the fuel tank if I can. The real problem is that the diff isn’t getting hot enough to burn off the condensation. If I drain the oil, I’ll be converting it to a water cooled differential. They aren’t very popular here in the U.S. but I’m gonna try it anyways.

    But, but, BUT! Water injection. One pump can do the work of two.

    Check valve into the brake booster? I'm kinda running out of ideas here, unless we start talking about NOS, bro!

    I like to work off of the KISS principle. The diff cooling is controlled by? what else, The A/C.
