A very large percentage of people on this forum run the ECS (Alky Control) kit. It uses the windshield washer tank to hold the meth. It works very well.

Like others already said, most of our installs use the washer tank, keep in mind though if your going to fab up a tank it needs to be made from stainless steel.

Be sure to check out our all in one rear trunk mount water emthanol injection system. This eliminates the the need of using your existing windshield wiper fluid and losing your windshield washer fluid feature as you do not want to spray straight methanol on your windshield and paint.

Here at AlcohlInjectionSystems.com we take and eliminate the confusion and headaches commonly associated with methanol injection systems, providing convenient and easy to install and adjust systems.

Unlike the competitors water injection kits. Who provide you a box containing bags and bags of parts that must be first assembled together before installing, which can then take between 5-6 hours to complete. Our trunk mount methanol injection system comes pre-assembled, pre-wired, hand tested & ready to install right out of the box. Best of all, our water methanol injection systems can be installed in about an hour saving you time and money.
  • Most advanced and versatile progressive controller on the market - compare for yourself vs. the competitors
  • Each system is pre-assembled saving you time and headaches
  • Each system is pre-wired by us saving you from making a mistake and damaging the system
  • Each system is hand tested before it’s packaged to ensure it’s functioning properly
  • System can be install in as little as 2 hours vs. the competitors kits which require 4-6 hours
  • Quick, convenient installation unlike the competitors un-assembled kits



This is a picture of it mounted in the rear center storage compartment on a C5

I have been considering relocating my battery to the rear passenger side compartment (side benefit will help traction, anybody spraying meth has traction issues ) & installing plastic meth reservoir in front battery area. Below is a link to some plastic 2.5 gallon tanks along with a low level sensor that could be installed. Has anybody has done this???...Any opinions on the downside of installing in this arrangement???

I've been running Julio's kit for a few years now. It is a very proven setup!

thanks for all the info guys and the pictures with details to show how to. The only reason I think I'm going to go with using the windsheild water reservoir is I have a boom box in the hole of the trunk and wouldn't feel safe to have a meth kit just behind my seat.

Has anyone installed the AIS system into the rear center storage compartment of a C5. Is it a direct fit or are do you need to modify? Are you satisfied with the performance and reliability.
