foliar feeding pumpkins when, how and do’s and don’ts

I only recently heard about foliar feeding and I am uncertain as to weather or not I should feed my pumpkins and other squash plants. I was told that if you use tap water on the leafs of squash you will cause powdery mildew so my question is.
Do I Foliar feed with a liquid fertilizer using ordinary tap water from the hose or not?
If I can just how often should I and is this all season long or just until a certain point in the growing season?
Can you over feed pumpkins and other squash if so how can you tell if you are over doing it I mean what do I look out for or what are the warning signs?
