Methanol Tank Location
I've bought myself a meth kit and its ready to be installed.
Except it doesn't fit under the hood.....
So my options are:
A. Place the meth pump in the trunk by the spare along with the tank and run the lines along the interior of the car
or
B.move my battery to the back of the car and install the meth pump and tank where the battery regularly is.
i know most of you run the tanks in the trunk but what im worried about is the lines getting kinked and not delivering and the noise of the liquid moving around in the back.
pros and cons of both would be appreciated

i like that location of the tank, but id like to keep the function of having a spare for a real emergency.
Im kind of picky when it comes to taking away stock functions.id like to keep my wiper fluid functioning.
im probably going to make a box that fits behind the right wheel well and stick the tank and pump in there.

"i thought about doing that but i read that its a pain to tap the tank without it leaking, so i wanted to avoid that as much as possible."
The leak free way to do this is to tap in from the "top of the tank" or in the neck and then run a small length of internal hard-line down to about a half inch or so from the bottom.

i like the idea of using the windshield wiper tank since it tells me when its running low with the light on the dash
this would make things a lot easier for me too.
I use my washer tank for meth...I initially used a metal fitting as the outlet but that would occasionally leak...but then I tried a plastic fitting and so far for 2 years no leaks; I think with similar materials there is no difference in temperature expansion/contraction so maybe that's why it doesn't leak, or maybe the sealant I use works better with plastic...
