Depending on how much meth you use, you may want a bigger reservoir. With a dual nozzle setup running full tilt, its like a garden hose of methanol.

I am a big fan of remote mounting a fuel cell in the trunk area and just running the feed line up to the pump.

What did everyone use to plug the lower bung in the washer tank when removing the WW fluid pump?

I'd like to do something similar to Randy's setup, but I have no idea what to shove in there (size-wise) to seal the hole permanently [oh boy does that open a big window for jokes]. Once it's capped with an appropriate piece, I intend on siliconing it in place to prevent any methanol seepage.

In the pic you will see 2 brass barb fitting with 2 rubber grommets circled in red at the near upper middle left hand side of the pic,That's what I used to plug the holes in the factory WW tank . click on the pic and zoom in to see it better.

I am using my WW tank with the ALKY kit, Today I was on a nice road with no side streets to enter the street I was on, I punched it and my alky light was red and never turned green. Turned around and did the same with no green light. Came home and filled the tank to the top with 2150 mililiters, which is .568 gallons or 72.7002 ounces. went out to the same spot and I get a green light and can feel the extra horsepower pull. This happened to me on 6-27-17 also and I added 2 liters that time and it also fixed the problem.

With all said above as I understand it these tanks are 1 gallon in size? am I wrong? if I am wrong wouldn't my windshield wiper fluid low light come on in my dash?

Alky control sells and extra tank for windshield washer fluid.
Im using the ww tank for meth and I refill it every two tankfulls of gas. Last time I had run out of meth and my low level came on. Only thing was it would come on when I started the car but it would turn off after a few seconds.

Can anyone suggest a meth system installer in the Central Florida area?
I've been looking around but not much luck.
