Default Windshield washer capacity for Meth

I am considering using the windshield washer tank for meth injection so I can have a stealth setup and not have to add a tank in the trunk. Anyone have any idea what the capacity of the windshield washer tank is? Couldn't find it using search, and the manual dosen't have the spec either...

probably around 3/4 of a gallon. thing is that if you have a level sensor your only going to be using half of the tank before the failsafe cuts out. i got a 2.5 gallon tank

its right at 1 gallon with the fluid topping in the fill tube.

you can also attach a tank to th ebumper brace like GTM does. that looks very clean as well.

If I had to do it over . I would have gotten the tank inatead of using the washer fluid tank . It leaked once in a while and if you wanna un-install . You dont have that hole in the tank and end up having to replace it .

By the way...my Snow kit will be for sale soon !

100 post minimum before making jokes to other F/I members and learn how to spell amphetamines. This is not the Honda forum.

am·phet·a·mine (ām-fět'ə-mēn', -mĭn) Pronunciation Key n.

1. A colorless, volatile liquid, C9H13N, used as a central nervous system stimulant in the treatment of certain conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, and narcolepsy, and abused illegally as a stimulant.
2. A derivative of amphetamine, such as dextroamphetamine or a phosphate or sulfate of amphetamine.

I have 2 stage 2 kits in stock. If you're interested in a new kit PM me and I'll shoot you a quote on one.

I would recommend using the Snow provided tank and not going the washer reservoir route personally. The added capacity is nice to have plus you don't have to worry about modifying the washer tank to make it work.

There are pro N cons between using the windshield washer tank and a dedicated tank in the trunk. I opted for the windshield washer coz I didn't want to take up more space in the trunk. Second, I didn't want to run the line all the way from the back to the front. Third, I didn't have to buy another sensor for the tank since the windshield washer has its own sensor already. I have my meth kit for about 1.5 years now and no leak. 1 gallon tank is more than enough to begin with. I say depend on your driving pattern, how much you spray but 1 gallon mix can last you more than 5+ full tank of gas. If you are the type of guy that just want to refill the tank once a year then maybe 1 gallon tank is to small... lol

^i question that strictly becuase i used a good amount during my dyno session and ride back home, i would venture to say atleast a 1/4 gallon and i refilled my gas tank prior to tune/drive home and used a 1/4 tank of gas. given this is not normal situations but if your running meth and messing around alot you use alot. according to my ghetto calculations the meth(1 gallon, minus the level sensor cutout volume) would run out prior to a tank of gas of heavy boost driving. also depends when the meth kicks in. mine comes on at 5psi

I said depend on your driving style.. Unless you are WOT all day then yes you will drink I say 1/2-3/4 per gas tank. You gotta be spraying a lot if you can consume 1 gallon mix per gas of tank, seriously. Also how hard is it to fill up your tank? If I was driving crazy then I usually refile my tank when I get home, also I usually have a small container of reserve in my trunk in case I do run out of mix.

Edit: what is the size of the nozzle you are using?

my tank is really really easy to fill up, i just got a funnel w/ a on off valve and a handle, like $4 at autozone. it the jug im filling it is not 100% full i could do it without the funnel. i keep a extra gallon in the trunk just ( for the time being to get a better gauge on how much i use during pulls and such)

im running either the either the .9 or 1mm nozzle, pretty sure its the 1mm just to laz to pull it out. its got the black "oring" around it

I dont want to start a thread on this, figured Id ask you meth users...

Does anybody have a good place to buy 100% meth? Im not interested in buying watered down meth like boost juice...I know I can buy the little Heet bottles but I have a 3 gallon tank and it would take a lot of those to fill it, Im almost out

I'm will be going to C&C in Manassas, VA to get mine. They are a little pricy @ $6.00 a gallon w/ a 5 gallon minimum.
