My engine came with a Snow water methanol injection system, single nozzle spraying into the plenum. The header tank is below, but I am not sure why
are there two tanks ? I would sooner use a smaller plastic tank.
They are not interconnected at all, and the smaller tank with two outlets has no drain. The systems I have read about generally use a plastic header
style tank.
Reason I am installing it , I dont know how much the engine relies on this system to avoid detonation, so would sooner fit it and use it, than hole a
piston, is the system likely to cause any issues at IVA time ?
cheers
i always thought plastic could be doselved by methanol
The bits of reading Ive done, all the kits have a plastic bottle.

I don't think the second tank has anything to do with the water / methanol system Ivan.
I reckon the builder has just fabbed the 2 tanks together due to space 'issues'.
The small tank has me intrigued, as it has no drain and doesnt have any oil contamination. Dont think I will need the huge tank, so it will get
swapped for a smaller easier to fit in plastic jobby.
Or I just cut the smaller tank off.

Or just fit a small breather on one of the outlets and use it as your oil catch tank?

Long as it has a breather hole I guess it makes no odds what bottle you use
I found the aquamist nozzles to give the nicest spray pattern I use a 0.3 mm nozzle with a 130 psi pump

do you have a pump /kit? I have a full cooling mist kit thats had very little use. It comes with a plastic tank that is specifically designed to
accept the pump so you get the maximum space saving. I am looking for £250 as it has everything you need and although fitted to my kit car for about
a year i never ran enough boost to activate it. Its basically like this but the tanks is the same one
