For those running Meth injection where did you place your meth tank (pics)?
Im thinking of placing mines where the battery currently sits and moving it to the trunk, not to keen on the idea of using my windshield washer bottle as a meth tank.

I use the existing Windshield washer tank.
With Rain X on the Windshield I have no need for spraying the wind shield.
Pump location may dictate meth tank location.

Use it for your windshield as well. 50/50 water/alcohol is what is in washer fluid I think.

Use your washer tank. Its the cleanest easiest way. Tanks are cheap too so don't feel bad about putting the fitting in. Just make sure you put the fitting at the REAR of the tank. If it makes you feel better after you mix your 50/50 put a few drops of blue food coloring in. Its the same stuff washer fluid is anyway. Only its much better controlled % when mixed manualy.

Me too, then I bought a 1 Qt billet overflow tank from Summit? (or Jegs)
Bought a flamed billet cap, painted the whole thing with black crinkle paint and plumbed into a universal WW pump and wired it into the existing WW circuit.

I put mine in my RV in the desert...oh wait wrong meth.
Jokes aside, is there a benefit for running meth on an N/A motor or is it mainly boosted applications to lower the air charge temperature?

Yes, what is the point of diluting it? I run straight meth in the Buick always have.

Water is not "diluting it". Water is used for it's cooling properties. Straight Meth with an under hood tank temps need to be taken into consideration and due you really want a "bomb" in the front of your car?
The Airforce did a lot of research on Meth and has used it extensively.

I use it due to high IAT, it is very effective at reducing IAT provided the jet can be properly located.

Running Meth is a great way to cool the IAT temps either way 50/50 mix or straight meth, you will make power using it straight up.......
Most people don't look into the saftey factor when placing it under the hood....Most cars are set up that way I placed my brothers meth in the inner fender as its a Mustang....but with the MM your better running it in the trunk.......

Meth tank under the hood will be fine. Many people run them like that. Straight meth FTMFW!

I have been running straight Meth in the modified washer tank on my GN since 2005 with no issues. I also ran it in several daily driver Turbo Regals with no issues except having to fill the tank a LOT :)

With a trunk mounted battery you will need an external cut off switch to run at the track.
