Anyone running Meth have a cracked windshield filler neck?
It looks like mine is cracked due to the heat of the turbocharger. Any of you guys running meth have this problem? I've been looking at running meth, but I'm a big concerned now to be truthful. I might make another tank. Michael Last edited by ETS Michael; 04-04-2012 at 11:18 AM.. |

I will only run Boost Juice 49/51 for this reason.

This piece is falling apart. I think it also has a crack down low, since the fluid light will randomly come on without even using it. If your running meth, I would seriously take a look at it. I think i'm going to put a fuel cell in the rear and do it that way.

Switching mine to rear as well, just too close to the heat source. Problem is if you do get a leak with WW tank you are probably going to flame out, depending on % of meth but most are running higher than 50-50.

Ask me how I know... (not my car though) And don't forget the problems with boiling meth vs WW meth kits which a lot of people have had problems with recently. |

The windshield washer reservoir is not safe on this car, period. 50/50 mix or not everyone is at high risk. There is also the risk of the cap popping off, or leak from other areas of that reservoir.
I'll be adding some universal parts so you guys can add trunk mount tanks, extra tubing, solenoids and check valves for those that want to upgrade to the trunk kits. |

Hey Michael I had a similar problem on my car but not bc meth..mine was cracked in the same spot when I first bought my car...I got the car used and the previous owner did not do any mods...(all OEM)
I replaced the goose neck already...but still have some leaks in the WW system somewhere and don't really trust is for meth...Probabaly will end up doing a trunk mount for more reliablility..

I didnt know there have been fires, but it does not surprise me. meth in the trunk is the only way to go and even then i'm leaning towards putting in a cheap fuel cell for mine in the spare tire well.

They are more susceptible on this car because the WW reservoir is right next to the turbo's and exhaust. It's by far the dumbest location to put meth but it takes a few mishaps before people realize it sometimes.

You were selling the WW kit? I have never heard you talk bad about it.
