I was doing the windshield washer meth tank nonsense for a year now. It seemed like every few months the meth would find its way out and leak all over the floor. After the 4th reseal I decided I needed something better. Had my local shop Corvette Masters make me up something I wouldn't have to worry about. I should have done this from the start!

Nice tank

Cool tank. Have thought about doing something similar but in stainless. Though I have zero space in that area with all the fuel crap.

Guess i'll be the first to ask... why aluminum for a meth tank? Meth eats aluminum.

I had all my fuel stuff running there too when I had twin external pumps. Nothing but trouble. Went with twin internal and ran everything down the center of the car.

I always heard the meth eating aluminum stuff but if the hot rods down here have been running aluminum tanks for their meth for the last 10 years trouble free that is good enough for me. If I get 10 years out of a tank I'd be happy, but it will last a lot longer than that.

I am in the process of having a tank fabricated. Would you know what size bung that was used? Also is that a fluid level sensor I see wired in?

Check the filters near the nozzles regularly, the tank should have been made from S.S., the aluminum will cause a build up of white goo in the lines which will make the LED turn green but not spray properly.

Until he answers, I'll try and answer.

The Alky Control pump and fitting for the original WW tank is a 3/8NPT bung, I believe. No good reason to change it that I can think of.
That appears to be the factory WW washer tank sensor, grommet and plug, so that when it's low, you get a message on the DIC.

Smart idea.

Correct. I figured the factory sensor would be the easiest solution.

Aluminum and meth don't mix. Unless the aluminum has some type of coating you may get pin hole leaks along the welds. Keep an eye on it for safety sake. Rod

I contacted a shop that is making a tank to fit in the battery tray. I gave them dimensions and requested a 3/8" NPT bung be installed. Just want to make sure I am not missing something. Does this tank need to be vented? I like how the OP is using the oem sensor but not sure how I would wire it in to the cockpit.

Tank is to be SS but the cap is aluminum. I need to ask if the cap is vented. I would like to add a fluid low sensor but am not sure what would be needed to be done to the tank for this to be done. Any suggestions?

The more holes you put in a tank, the more potential leaks. Keep it simple and just check your meth level manually I wouldn't trust a sensor anyway. Can't speak to the venting issue as I use the washer tank and only run 50/50, and can use it to wash the windshield if I want to. Rod
