Didn't like the way it corroded the pump outside, and wiring, when I checked the thing out cause my pump fell off the line. Only had about 3 tankfuls of the stuff in there too. I'm sending it back, warranty (thanks Steve), for the brass mods. and see what he says about the pump. I think I got bad denatured it had 4% methanol don't know if that's standard or too high. ??? I'm gonn run iso. and water when I get my new kit and the upgraded kit for my 2 cars. Just my .02. Always look in the tank before you fill it up, make sure everything looks ok.
