Alky

[510TURBO]

I Heard That Having Your Alky Pump In The Engine Bay Is Not Wise. Let Me Know Why, Because Mine Is There Right Now. Thanks.

Two reasons. One is alky boils at 155 degree's. So having hot air blowing on the pump can cuase an issue. 2nd is the pump can make a lot of pressure, if a leak where to happen.. it doesnt need to be anywhere it can be of detriment.

Saying that, we have the systems under the hood. Just take your precautions.

Buick had planned to use alky. They dropped the idea for 2 reasons I know of & probably more I don't know of. One reason was worry concerning the driver not keeping the tank filled, thereby causing warranty issues. Two was concern of crash damage causing fires.

Buick decided to not use alky & used an intercooler.
