Default Bigger methanol tanks

This weekend I relocated my battery to the rear cubby, did the big3 upgrade, and installed a new billet-tech alternator.
The reason I relocated the battery was because I want to keep a bigger supply of methanol in the car.
Ive been looking for a tank that can hold a minimum of 2 gallons, but fit in the original battery location.
Im sure Im not the only one to do this, so those of you that have done this, what tank did you use?

Jackin your thread.....what did you use to relocate your battery? What year is your car? What battery did you go with? Going to tackle this when I get home from overseas

My car is a 2005
Optima yellow top fit in the driver side cubby.
I have been building the kit as i go. Started with 20' of 0/1 welding cable, and about 10' of 4 gauge battery cable.

I use the ais tank in the rear cubby, it's sealed and holds 1.7gal. I run a 15 and an 10 nozzle and after a tank of gas with a lot of heavy acceleration I used about 1/2

Yep that's a lot of nozzle. I'm using my washer bottle but I have a fuel cell setup for the future.

I don't think you will fit a 2 gal tank where the battery was. I use a moroso tank there for my supercharger coolant. I believe it holds about a gallon. I think the windshield washer tank holds more.

The windshield resevoir is .7 gallons i think. There is a bunch of room where the battery was. 1.5 gallons might be good though. Hey Honeycomb, which tank do you have?

AIS trunk tank for the cubby hole here. Running a ECS Alky kit with twin 15's. Started noticing the winshield washer tank leaking out so got a new stock one and tank for the rear. Should have just did that in the beginning.
