Not sure which one to go with...

Multi Purpose Tanks - US Plastic Corporation

Coolingmist Stage 2 kit underhood with 250psi pump.. Came with a 1 gallon tank.

Wanna go with something bigger but not sure which tank to choose on that list.

Coolingmist trunkmount is 1.5 gallons and pretty compact.

Get (2) 1 gallon tanks and arrange them like this

Who is using a 'large' meth tank?

scroll down until you see the two tanks mounted to the back seat(thats the setup i run on my car. 100% meth)

Its $99+ shipping.

Nice link 05 ACR SRT-4. Where did he mount the pump...?

Why didn't you get the stage 1 kit if you aren't using the included tank?

If you like to keep things tidy, Jeff at Howerton engineering make these universal tank assembly for all makes of water injection systms.

FYI, we invested quite a bit of money into tooling and engineering for that tank. Its a custom fit for the Shurflo/Aquatec pumps. Also if you look you will see its spin welded tank rather than the simple blow molded tanks you commonly see. About a year ago we had to have a 2nd tool built to keep up with demand. Tooling is always an expensive part of product design.

There is a nice 2.5 gallon tank on that us plastic page for about $17-18.

Thats a really good point. But the Stage 1 kit comes with the 150psi pump not the 250.

Checking out the coolingmist site the bigger pump is only $40 more. I thought I got a deal on my setup.

I personally would of saved like $10 after shipping. I guess I can justify the included tank being worth $10 though so I still got a great deal.

Do I go with the unvented or the vented black cap?

UnVented ^

I take it I need a vented one since the coolingmist tank is vented.

damn neon ownrs trying to save money! lol

That Aquamist One is cool, but I bet its a small fortune. Yeah I searched. $320.

Yeah I love the design of the trunkmount one and how the tank mounts right on it.

One more question. Would it be a good idea to run two 1 gallon tanks similar in size as opposed to one big 2.5 gallon tank coolingmist suggested? If I ran two tanks I could do one tank with meth and the other for water like the link posted on the 3rd reply.

If you do one tank with all meth and one with all water how are you going to run any mixture other than 50/50 by volume 44/56 by mass?

I know others do this, but don't see how they can mix up their ratios if one tank is all water and the other is all meth.

Any response to that? I am curious as well.

Sooooo should I get another 1 gallon tank to run with the tank that came with the the coolingmist kit and run seperate solutions in each one?

Orrrr should I just get the big 2.5 gallon one USplastics has to offer?

Vented cap or unvented cap?

7055 · 08-30-2009, 02:15 AM

Man did you convert your car to diesel or something?

I fill my trunkmount halfway and it's plenty.

And go with vented, otherwise how will the pump suck the fluids without creating a vacuum?

raul-01 · 08-30-2009, 02:57 PM

What I been told locally its a good idea to run a big tank so you don't have to fill it up all the time. Yours is a half a gallon more than mine. Running the 2.5 gallon tank would solve that problem.

How much meth/water gets used up during say 1 WOT pull from 3rd-4th gear with the m5 nozzle and 250psi pump?

7055 · 08-30-2009, 03:17 PM

Not a noticeable amount.
