Don't know what you mean, I don't see anything resembling a rotor in my car

As a sohn reservoir though wouldn't the triangular shape prevent sloshing and help keep fluid at the bottom rather than the typical square shaped reservoir? I tilted my tank slightly to help keep liquid at the drain fitting but the fitting sticks up so if hypothetically if my tank ran low my sohn would be dry but I would still have unused idemitsu sitting in my tank.

Hahahahahaha I would agree.


Solution to running out of two stroke for injecting... Check your tank! Keep oil in the trunk. Duh!!

The shape of the tank is not important, gravity works just fine for the SOHN. Plus I don't think Highspeed is even running the SOHN so I'm not sure what he is using all three tanks for. Maybe he is planning to run the SOHN in the future and use the 3rd tank as a Kool Aide dispenser.

Maybe a licorice dispenser inside the car shaped like a rotor! Visions from Wane's world flying through my head!

I use one section for a catch can, the second for the windshield washer fluid and the third for the coolant. If I had a 4th, I would totally use it for Kool Aide

It doesn't look like you are using it for coolant. Are there even enough ports for the bypass hose, etc?

and the coolant bottle is still up front? i dont have this but i have three tanks. sohn oil,washer fluid,catch can. watch the washer fluid around the aluminum it gums up pretty easy with the methanol in the washer fluid. koolaid would be ****!!! hook it up to another washer fluid pump and a hose to shoot it into your mouth with a switch lol! i bet the motor could warm up some killer hot chocolate.

I hadnt hooked up the coolant when I took the pics since I was in a hurry but have since move it over to the new rotor shaped housing and removed the coolant tank. And yes, it has all the connections on it I needed.

Thanks for the heads up about the washer fluid

That's how I like it... Simple, functional and lightweight. Plus no aluminium to heatsoak and clog up the engine bay.

Interesting. Funniest thing is the similarities in BS that he also told another customer I know. I am sure he deleted it so that he could get what he ordered.
