You can use your windsheild washer resevoir as the Tank, so no you don't have to relocate the battery, and I believe you are actually referring to Alcohol injsection, Some people mix it with water and call in methanol I guess, but you can buy denatured alcohol at any hardware store, or have a fuel distributor ship you some, but you will most likely pay a lot more that way.
hope that helps.

Methanol is a specific type of alcohol and reported to be the best to use in alky injection for both its cooling and power adding properties.
Straight meth is mostly recommended...you can mix with water if you like

And actually in it's use the evaporative properties can be beneficial when it's injected as it will atomize far better than when mixed with water and even if there's some spillage to a small leak it's best that it evaporates before it combusts.

I have a methanol/water injection system and mix it 50/50. I use the windshield washer tank so I can still use it to wash my windshield if necessary. I buy the methanol at a local race shop for $5 a gallon and go through about one tank of meth/water to every tank of gas depending upon my driving style.

How well does it work as a washer fluid?
