A buddy has one of these kits, it wasn't originally a trunk mount so it has some "homemade" attributes. He's running the same type line. It doesn't seem too safe . His pump is up in the front, so at least those lines aren't pressurized.

Safety

Safety should be the number one consideration when installing a device that will deliver a liquid under high pressure. More so if the liquid could potentially be flammable. The location and placement of components is crucial to the safety of both the vehicle and its occupant’s’.

It is this main reason I do not promote installation of tanks, pumps, pressure lines, etc within the interior confines of a passenger vehicle. Underneath the hood and inside the engine compartment is my preferred choice, since automobiles come from the MFG with a “Firewall” already installed.

If a trunk system is desired, the only way to do so is with an SFI approved fuel cell with the appropriate brackets to properly secure the tank to the frame of the vehicle. Understand that using methanol as a liquid, now proper ventilation outside of the vehicle must also be addressed. And the pump CAN NOT be placed inside of the trunk. It needs to be mounted externally. The reason.. simple. If the pump operates at very high pressures, and were ever to develop a leak, a serious potential problem could ensue.

The system is to be treated like an additional “Fuel System” being installed onto the vehicle. Hoses, fittings, tanks, electrical, and routing of such must follow basic common sense. Failure to do so could potentially cause serious injury and bodily harm.

Braided Hoses
Simply stated, look into the “rule book” of the NHRA, IHRA, NASCAR, etc for fuel system specifications. The use of braided hose is then understood as to why our systems employ this strategy. Chemical compatibility and pressure compatibility are one issue. The other is SAFETY. It is our belief that using stainless steel/nomex braided hoses offer the highest level of protection. And using machine assembled fittings on the pressure lines make the most reliable and maintenance free setup possible.

If the system is designed with “worst case scenario” in mind, the system will provide reliable and trouble free operation.

Please understand these systems are for “Off Road Use Only” and great care has been taken to assure the very best/most reliable injection kit in the world. If upon installation there is any issue, concern, thought, problem, etc.. PLEASE contact us for help/clarification at 727-570-9999 or email to Idoxlr8_70@yahoo.com

Hope my above post clears things a little

what do you mean..........

We carry braided hoses as an option, so if prefer stainless steel/teflon hose, we have it. We dont like to limit our customers, as its upto the customer to choose what type of hose he wants.

Our tank is a very rugged, very thick tank that hold up as well or better than any other tank on the market.

let us know if you have more questions, I apprecate your interest in our product.

i like simplisted of the whole kit .i will want the stainless steel lines when i order the kit. other then it looks like a really nice system.with the remote in car flow control. thanks

Julio Do You Offer Any Upgrades To Ur Kit That Allows A Trunk Mounted Container Or Is That Something One Would Have To Do On Their Own?

Is There Any Issues With The Distance As Far As The Pump Having To Pull Alky From The Trunk Area? Is It Less Efficient?

We tested it inside and out and the performance is equal to having it in the engine bay.

We tried these tests.

1) took 15 feet of vacuum hose to the trunk to test response from the start psi to the full psi. There was absolutely zero delay. Response was identical to having just a few feet. Obviously using the map sensor would have instant results as well.


2) we took 15 feet of water hose and attached the injector to it. The first time you fill fill up the tank it takes a good 8 seconds to pressurize. After that, as long as you dont run out of water, the system has instant response. From the time it activates there is less than a split second from the time you get atomized spray. There absolutely zero difference with running 15 feet of hose after the checvalve vs 1 foot of hose.

3) from the time the system shuts off when you are out of boost, there is again only a split second before it completely stops spraying. there is almost no dripping in your intake after it stops.



Thanks.

Race fuel - Alcohol fuels

Give you some reading. If you will be spraying water, then any tank will do. If the chemical will be potentially hazardous.. then care needs to be taken.

If you will be using "Alcohol" inside the tank, it must have an SFI rating if housed inside the vehicle. And the pump must be external. The thought of getting into an accident should always be present.

Want to know SFI.. Google it.

Dont heed these warnings.. you'll be sorry. Its a Darwin thing.

There is no issue with mounting a tank inside the trunk.. thousands of race cars are setup this way. Only issue is cost. Hope your venting, brackets, hoses, and such are treated like a fuel system. Refer to above link for additional info.

Methanol = a fuel

Let us know how it goes :wink: I cant stop someone from doing something foolish... Just like throwing matches into a gas tank to see if it has gas left in it.

pac

we offer upgrades if the customer prefers it. Such as a larger container that holds more capacity. I.E. fuel cell set up for alcohol. We do not offer upgrades on the main stuff which is important such as pressure lines, fittings, and electronics as we provide the best product to every single kit. We try to keep cost down on containers by keeping them under the hood and in front of the firewall. As well as safety is our concern. When a longer feed hose is required and a trunk mount cell we take the proper steps to keep it safe for the vehicle and the passengers.

A good friend of mine who is a DIY alky guy did his with the push lock lines which he says are rated for pressure and longevity and had major issues. Along with electronic issues as well which amost costed him a totaled vehicle on the street one day. Alky would not shut off on a quick burst down a backroad and flooded the motor until the engine shut down. Needless to say he almost hit a telephone pole. Lost all power accessories. We race what we build and sell. So we take all the steps to insure the customer gets a great safe product.

Think of this, cars in the 60's had fuel pumps mounted on the engine. 20 feet ahead of the tank.

Start simple, complicate yourself accordingly.(You know about complicating ones self :redface: )

Thought I recognized your name. Coming from someone with a 1500HP+ engine.. safety you should know about.

Good luck with your decisions.

Oh trust me my friend i know all about safety........i have spent alot and alot of money on this car to make it safe.i guess when i called you today to talk to ya. that was one of my question but i know you are buzy............. why are you mounting them up front in a washer squirter tank. by the looks of it they are in the engine compartment that seems to me there is more of a chance of a fire then any where. i dont know.it just seems to me in the trunk mount would be more user friendly safer with the proper ground and vented just like a fuel cell and stainless steel lines. Im just now starting to research this whole alky thing.it looks like there some friendly compition out there to me. i want the best that i can buy . Thanks for the response guys.

Its all about application. On a simple street car, the bottle is securely mounted into the inner fenderwell. And if you think about it, you have transmission fluid, oil cooler lines, gasoline lines, brake fluid.. all which can be flammable. That is why there is a firewall.

On a vehicle with the potential of going faster than 9.99, IMHO.. you need to look at different options.8.99 or faster, then its a no brainer.

 

[Razor]

This is another example.. just depends on application, fluid being used, etc.

If the intended liquid again was water or water mixed with methanol.. the Coolingmist product is a great idea. IMHO.

The pic included is on a 9 sec 4 cyl Ford

 

[Razor]

why are you mounting them up front in a washer squirter tank.

I use the coolant tank. A new one from GM.
