Default Windshield Washer Relocation Kit?

With a meth kit using the washer fluid tank, I was wondering if anybody makes a kit that will relocte a washer tank/pump to somewhere else in the engine bay? With the meth system using the sensor, is it even possible/easy to set up another pump for washer fluid that will run off the steering column controls. I realize the washer fluid tank wouldn't have the low fluid sensor, but I live in a very dusty place and would like to have the ability to clean off my windshield.

I left the lines to my WW sprayers attached so I can still clean the windshield. Since WW is 30-40% meth by weight spraying 100% meth on the windshield shouldn't be a problem, in fact I bet it would do a better job because it will evaporate faster.

Just as long as the car in front of you doesn't throw a cigarette out the window.

just add WW fluid in there and get it retuned. may be leaving 10-15hp on the table, but your windshield will be clean..

Not recommended if your on a meth dependent tine running more boost, but a viable option for those just using meth injection to cool down IATs.

Some WW is still 40%, bigger jet or go dual. problem i see is getting WW with the same Meth content consistently. better start buying by the pallet!

Yeah, I thought as much. I use laboratory-grade meth that I buy at a chemist's supply shop. I don't think it would be safe to be spraying pure methyl alcohol on my windows. I'll post in the tech forum and see if anybody has done a WW relocation. Thanks

PM WhiteLightning on the board,he is a friend of mine and his tuner just did something like this. He added a WW resevoir up front by the intercooler.

Here is his build thread, look at the pics towards the bottom of his post. You can see what they did

It's actually pretty hard to find WW fluid with even 30% meth in it here in TX. There is no call for -40 degree WW fluid here. Straight meth mang.

UPP does a WW tank relocation as part of their TT kit. May want to hit them up too.
