lighted meth tank

Soi was fixing a meth leak i found in my trunk and i was filling the tank up and i get tired of not being able to see how much meth is in so i don't over fill the tank. I usually try to put a flash light next to the tank but i can't always find one and is not the best solution.

So i made a little light out of led strips and put it under my tank. Used eye ring for negative and alligator clip for positive. my battery being in my trunk i can hook it up any time I'm filling up.

Here are before and after pictures. it turned out to look very very cool.

 

That is pretty dang cool!

 

yeah it looks tits, I could not have been smiling bigger when I fired the light up and saw how pretty it is. People could do this with a 4 qt side mounted tank too by placing the light behind it there. I thought about this the other week and last night I took action! I had to pull my subs out to change a fitting on my pump that allowed almost 2 gal of meth to leak in my trunk over the past week ..... I just filled that tank..........

 

That's pretty rad. Quick and easy solution to a problem.

 

That's one thing that will kinda suck if I jump on HTP's next 2.5 gallon metal tank production run (though there's no definitive date for it yet). Don't get me wrong - I'd love to have 2.5x the methanol tank capacity, especially now that I'm spraying a CM10. But with the opaque tank, it's much harder to easily get a sense of how much methanol I have remaining until my low fluid sensor activates. I kinda wish it'd be possible to have a graduated gauge, like we do for our fuel tanks.

 

I personally like the tank in the car so the ac keeps it cool. And i really love how this turned out

You will get tired of filling it so often. I went with trunk setup and ss lines an fittings and it will never leak in my car.

But on the feed side to tank is push connect and i just had a footing
Fitting fail and leak. But that's not under pressure like the output is

 

I'm spraying a D14 nozzle from a 2.25 gallon tank in the spare tire wheel well. I don't have a float sensor yet so I just make sure it's full before I take the car out on the weekends.

 

Get that float in there ASAP, especially if you're fueling dependent. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Setup looks nice, BTW!

 

That is an unfinished picture, don't have a finished pic.

 

It's all good. I know you had to do more wiring, etc. I'm just talking about it's a clean/stealth mounting location.

 

I like that mounting location, but would be murder trying to fill it with my subwoofer and main battery in the trunk
