Meth consumption?
Hey guys, just wondering how often do you fill your meth tank? I suspect I may have a leak, but there is no evidence on the ground.
Full tank for me and three days later I get the low ww message.

I recently went through this. My full tank would be empty in a few days without driving the car. I never saw a drop on the ground, but the washer tank grommet was leaking slow enough to let the meth evaporate before making a puddle. New grommets at the level sensor, and at the pump feed fixed the problem.

I checked the tank and on the side where the float sensor plugs into it's leaking. I will replace the grommet and maybe add some silicone as well.
I completely filled the tank yesterday and today the low ww fluid warning came on. So it's definitely loosing meth at a rapid pace.

Do you have a dual or single meth nozzles? The reason I ask is because I had a similar issue. My kit was converted to a dual nozzle but they did not replace the check valve with the larger one causing all my meth to drain to the lowest point which was my blow off valve.

I started off with a single nozzle when I was stock motor. I converted to a dual nozzle setup with a check valve with my built motor. I'm not sure which check valve I have, but I did read somewhere that Julio offers a stronger valve. Any idea how to confirm which one I have?

***UPDATE***
Finally got around to replacing the grommets and you can see by the pics how they have lost their shape and shrunk. I've driven the car aggressively
for a week now and no warning light.
Thanks to Rob@Champions for ordering me the parts.
