All the time. However, it usually works best if you feed the water through a Flux Capacitor, that way, if there is a problem, you can just send the water back in time!

I can't believe he's made the common mistake of not warming the water first, what idiot puts cold water from a hose into an engine.

I don't remember seeing this the first time, so I lolled quite a lot. Poor chap though, assuming it was not a windup.
