Why send my money elsewhere if I don't have too. I support local businesses when I can, there are far too many going under. My favorite NAPA store close to my work went under after like 30 years. I was truly saddened because it was the type of place where the workers could tell you what part to get and rebuild your motor at the same time.

I used a bicycle bottle + holder. drilled a hole on the bottom and rtv'd a barb fitting. I made it a habit to check/refill whenever I fill up my fuel tank.

Any better DIY's out there for reservoir options? I wanna see all the ideas. I wonder how hard it would be to source tanks locally?

i got 2 tanks just like TheWulf has pictured earlier. they are a little difficult to source. i PMed a forum member in Canada to buy them for me and ship them to me. the place they will find them is called Princess Auto. AFAIK, they are only in Canada. if i remember correctly, it was about $50 to buy them and have them shipped.

Thanks guys, no luck finding anything locally.

International Plastics Corp.....

Thanks, do you know what they keyword would be? i tried the flash catalog but I still can't find anything under container, resevoir, etc. Thanks.

Strange...must have screwed up the company name...either that or they don't carry the tanks and stuff anymore..I'll look for the invoice from mine and see

05rex8 09-13-2009 10:33 PM

the problem with those tanks are the mounting tabs on the sides. it would be fine if you only want to mount 1 tank and lose the washer fluid.

trunk mount the battery and put the tank in the stock battery position

I don't have washer fluid anyways due to my meth injection tank

05rex8 09-13-2009 10:39 PM

thought this was cool for premix

Yep that's the same tank I have, the 1 quart one so it can hold a whole quart of premix. It last a while even with the OMP duty cycle jacked up.

And that's where I mounted my premix tank, hanging off the mounting tabs off the PCM case with some metal brackets I bent up and then painted black so they blend in, you can hardly notice they are there.

I was just thinking of a few things. One of those is how Sweet it would be to have a remote mount reservoir like a water injection system. You could have a Huge reservoir in your trunk for Good long Lasting periods. Most of these systems are redundant and will let you know when you run low or pressure has increased in the system.

9krpmrx8 09-16-2009 09:39 PM

Interesting idea.

I ordered this:

do you have any measurements of this unit? I am trying to think of places one could mount it in the engine bay.

9krpmrx8 09-16-2009 09:49 PM

I am winging it but I may move my battery to the trunk. her are the dimensions.

Product Dimensions: 7.5 x 4.2 x 8.2 inches ; 1 pounds
Shipping Weight: 10.4 ounces

hoss -05 09-16-2009 10:00 PM

Sweet two battery relocation's in one month! I do think that could be a really good thing. If I was to relocate my battery I would order some extra wire and connectors and really do it right.

No matter the size it may still be easier, less expensive and add less weight to put it in the trunk.

A good gauge wire running from the trunk to the engine bay is very heavy in weight..... If I were to guess more the a line with fluid running in it.

9krpmrx8 10-01-2009 03:51 PM

I think the problem is the SOHN relies on gravity to pull the premix in. Not sure if you put it in the trunk it would flow right. You would have to have some type of positive pressure on it.

Also, what sealant did others who have installed this use on the gasket?

Vlaze 10-01-2009 05:11 PM

None,

The gasket is supposed to be the sealant. I suppose one could use silicone gasket seal if they're skeptical over it. But the gasket provided the seal fine for me.
