Just wondering if anybody has one of these, or has ordered one, or has even seen one! JDP has it listed for $260. Says it has a 3.2 gallon tank capacity and fits in the hidden rear storage bin on the drivers side. I would much prefer this over using the ~1 gallon windshield washer tank.

Interesting...

I wonder if you would smell the meth vapors in the car since the cap is vented?

Definitely a good location for the tank as long as it doesnt leak or vent too much inside.

I don't want to lose my washer fluid bottle/function this time around.

Yeah I thought about that as well...but I feel that the compartment back there closes pretty securely, plus there's a mat over top of it. Could maybe drill some vent holes in that compartment to help evacuate the odors too. This is just something that was interesting to me. Here's the link to the c6 tank with pics (although the c6 tank seems smaller at only 1.7 gallons).

It is a great purchase. I try to urge all my customers to use that instead of using the washer tank.

It is sealed tight and you will not smell anything or get any overflow into your car. Not to mention it take up zero space for luggage or golf clubs or nitrous bottles

Anyone have any pictures of this installed? Any info on where the low tank sensor gets wired to and if you still need to purchase the lines to get to the front of the car?

I like the idea of the larger tank, I will be getting my meth installed in a couple weeks.

I don't think there are any pics of them yet, I've searched everywhere. But here's a pic off this forum of one installed on a c6. The kit says it comes with 3' of nylon tubing but I assume you would probably have to purchase about another 10' or so to run to the front. I'm thinking of ordering this with an Alky Control kit for my install.

Just an update if anybody cares...I emailed ProMeth about their rear storage tank for the C7 and apparently it's not even available yet and won't be until Feb-March timeframe

I was told 4-6 months when I called 2 weeks ago....I will be using the washer tank until then.

If the c7 tank is 3 plus gal's just out of thinking if this one for the c6 would set into the hole but just maybe set down deeper in the hole.

I going to call tomorrow and see what they say on it. If it fits good in the hole without moving around going to get it and call it a day on it.

When I install my meth kit I would only do a rear trunk meth kit, after having the window washer on my c5Z used as a tank reservoir, I found the meth evaporated at a very quick rate due to under hood temperatures. I also went through 2 window washer low level sensors. I used 100% meth.

now in my 335i I had a 2.3 gallon trunk rear mount that I loved and stayed full almost a whole month, although I topped it off every week. After many people saw fires of the engine bay in the 335i (they run hot) it became a safety issue and most people stopped using the window washer kit and used the rear trunk kit.

i think for safety, and holding a bigger thank, good for road corse days, it's a win win.

Apples to oranges. C5's tank is right beside the engine, C7 is down in the fenderwell and won't get nearly as hot, shouldn't be an issue that way.

Either way will work, just sayin'

robert miller

I called was told by the end of jan to feb on the one for the c7. C6 will not fit for sure by what I was told. So hope they do what was told may be out by the time I am in need for it and not use the washer tank. Robert

robert miller

I just got a email back was told now 5 weeks out from a can for the trunk to go in the back of the c7. Looks like I will be using the wash tanks. Robert

I'd be interested in this. I would want to see the low level sensor though and see where that can be located on the dash. I hate using the ww tank

robert miller

Going to have to buy a new washer tank after someone come out with it. My blower should ship out tomorrow then I know about 2 weeks for me to put that thing on by myself with the meth.

Why do you hate using the washer tank? Just curious.

robert miller

The only reason per say I have seen and heard a few after some are very little time it start to leak on the plug that you have to put the meth line in to feed the unit from the washer.

It was over one year but it happen in my c5 also. Plus a good guy in here has a good shop do his meth and blower set up. In less than a year he posted in here about his was leaking.

Plus if I can in no more than 2 years will sale the car for a newer vette are something more. I could just pull parts off and sale them and get some money back. But looks like I will be using the washer in my car unless I can find & bottle that will work under the hood for a time.

I want to be able to store more then what the ww fluid tank holds. Plus I don't like it being next to all that heat from the brakes. I would like to track my car but those two things are holding me back some.

There is a corrosion issue with the cover used on these tanks. See my comments and photos under general discussion.
