Default Meth Question - Reservoirs

Ive read a ton of threads and coundnt find the answers I am looking for.

1.) If you have a 3 qt. tank, where did you mount it?

2.) If you used the windshield washer reservoir, did you need a solenoid because of siphoning? It seems that If I would tap at the lowest part of the reservoir, their wouldnt be an issue because the nozzle going into the windshield washer reservoir would be lower than the nozzle going into the air intake tube.

Comments appreciated.....

I used my washer reservoir and installed a one way check valve (came with the kit) in the line going to the injectors. Not going to take a chance on siphoning

Default Check valve

I've seen some install the C6 windshield washer tank in the driver side fender well close to meth pump some how. Something I'm going to look at for sure. But either way a check valve is going in regardless.

Its not where you tap the tank, it is ...

the top of the fluid level > your placement of the meth nozzle...


SO, whatever fluid is higher then your meth nozzle, it will leak into your intake thru the nozzle. it has nothing to do with where your tap the tank at.

I use the washer fluid reservoir and ECS kit. Been very happy with it.

I would go with the washer tank.

The idea of having flammable liquids in the passenger compartment scares me especially so if there is a trunk mounted battery.
