bigger bottles for SMC kit?

Alan, do you have pics of your install? Also, do you run an additional pump to make up for the extra length of hose? Any delay? I thought about the trunk but figured it was too far for that little pump. That BIG WHITE BOTTLE mounted to my fan is the only downside I see with that kit so mounting the bottle out of sight would be great! TIA

Mike I have mine installed in the trunk, it,s not working though I am having problems with the controler, haven't got ahold of Steve yet

Larry, where have you been lately? What did you change, other than a longer hose, to make it work in the trunk? I like that a lot better than on the fan but I want to make sure I won't have any problems. Do your problems stem from the trunk mount? Have a good new year and give me a call when you can, I'm off tomorrow.

I only have the one pump which is in the trunk bottle. I did wonder if it would be slow to provide the alcohol, but there does not seem to be a problem. I also checked after installing the system, and the line under the hood close to the nozzle seems to always be full of alcohol. The system currently injects alcohol starting at 12#.

Steve provided the necessary line to reach from the trunk when I ordered the large container. I ran a 10 or 12g wire (memory lapse) from the alternator back to a relay mounted by the container in the trunk.

FWIW, I put a "Y" in the alcohol line in the engine compartment and ran one fork of the "Y" to one nozzle, and the other fork through a solenoid to a second nozzle. I tried turning this one on at 18#, but saw no advantage. When I did this, I went to a smaller nozzle. Steve called the single a "fifteen," and the smaller ones "tens." Now you know as much about the nozzles as I do.
