RE: Group Buy Water/meth
I picked up my laptop for $50, it was obsolete from Proctor & Gamble when an upgrade came around. Needed BIOS and OS installed, but otherwise good to go. When they wipe a computer for sensitive info, they're SERIOUS about it....
BTW, I IM'd with Chance about using the pump in a 'pull' situation, he said it shouldnt be a problem, but the scenario I gave him was a max of 3 feet between the pump and tank. Double that and you almost have the length from hatch to hood, so I don't see where it'd be a problem. I'd mount the tank higher in that situation for sure.

I've had a couple of times when really small stuff that may be in the bottom of my washer tank gets sucked up and passed through the pump. Then it gets caught in the check valve, causing vacuum leak symptoms. Here is my solution. It's a Purolator fuel filter (part no. F20011)installed on the intake side of the pump. The 1/4" lines fit snuggly inside the barbs of the filter. It will also act to catch any air in the line, though I haven't had any problem like that.

RE: Group Buy Water/meth
I was hoping to get the 3 as well. I was planning on doing the same as you. Start off just using 1 nozzle with the T/B adaptor. I had been reading over on vortex people where having trouble with the nozzle bungs in the silicon hoses and I was contemplating if it was worth the trouble. Now I have a nozzle that would be either too large or too small. I may just mail off for the 3.
I can't wait to get this project going! I was training in Minni for a week and got home last last night with my goodies waiting. My kit, T/B flange and the wife ran to Fed Ex to pick up my Ross-tech cable as she was running errands.
Edit:
Ijust used the nozzle calculator and it said to use a 4.02 when I put in RPM 7k, 22PSI, 1.8lt. I wondering if I would be fine with just using the 4, hmmm.

the 4 will be more then enough....start with 3 then go from there....4 is more for over 300hp......jettared hows that fuel filter working so far??? notice the meth eating that paper inside??? im gonna pick one up tonight and install with it as well...after the crud gets caught in the filter im prolly gonna take it out....shouldnt really need one after that...the air bubble idea is good...but with nozzle i dont thkn the air bubble will hurt the engine...nor do i see air bubbles entering the system....but hey anything is possible...lol....also jetta did you just put the 90degree fitting on the line in the fluid tank to keep the weight on the line...i saw u did it the lazy way LOL..u really should install the line in the bottom of the tank to get the best use...but what you did will work too.

Hey,
I know Methanol can be a pain in the butt to get ahold of in the raw form I'm sure... and not everyone can just keep reordering Boost Juiceâ„¢ from snowperformance everytime their tank runs dry.
Here's some info for those people considering Water/Methanol Injection systems for their vehicle.
First... A quote from Snowperformance on alternative solutions for w/m injection:
Now I decided to go ahead and email HEETâ„¢ and find out the exact methanol content of their products to be sure how to mix it.
Below are my email and their response:
[/align][/align]In my opinion... (this is ONLY my opinion) All windshield washer fluids contain surfactants that foam up (detergents). I would assume since the snowperformance FAQ does mention detergents in the contents of windshield washer fluids... and still recommends it as an alternative, then I would assume the detergents in HEETâ„¢ De-ice WW fluid is fine as well. [/align][/align] I posted this more or less so people know the facts about it straight from the manufacturers before they invest in the system. Overall, HEETâ„¢ in the yellow bottle, and HEETâ„¢ in the blue WW fluid bottle... would both work great in a Water / methanol injection system. Both can be purchased at almost any Auto Parts Store... and even WalMart.[/align][/align] So if you're considering this mod... but you're worried about availability of methanol... I hope this'll help you out.[/align][/align]- Chris[/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]

ORIGINAL: Snowperformance FAQ
SP sells 50/50% methanol/waterMethanol as Boost Juiceâ„¢ (see products). Methanol can generally be purchased where racing fuels are sold. Also, most gas line dryers like "Heet" are simply Methanol. Suppliers of industrial chemicals can also supply Methanol usually at a higher price than fuel suppliers.
If all else fails, most windshield washer fluids are up to 40% Methanol and 58% water. Although most contain some glycol and detergent(less than 1%), most windshield washer fluids are up to 40% methanol. Try to find one that indicates "contains methanol" and is rated to -20ºf

ORIGINAL: Email traffic between Me and HEETâ„¢
Me: I just have a quick question about HEET ingredients.
I recently installed a water/methanol injection system on my vehicle. The system uses a 50/50 water/methanol solution and injects it directly into the Turbo charge pipe after the intercooler and just prior to the throttle body.[/align] Can you tell me the methanol and water content % in HEET gasline antifreeze and also in the HEET windshield anti-ice concentrate product?[/align][/align]HEETâ„¢: While ,I can't comment on your specific application HEET gasoline Antifreeze is 99.90% Methanol ~0.10 water.
To get 50% by volume methanol water mix use it 1:1 [/align][/align]ME:
What about the HEET windshield de-ice concentrate?[/align]It's blue... and it says 4 parts of de-ice concentrate to 5 parts water for protection to -25F[/align]Whats the methanol content in that one?[/align][/align]HEETâ„¢ : Do Not use windshield wash
I can not under any circumstances recommend HEET Windshield De-Icer Concentrate ,There are other additives in it.[/align][/align]ME: The company that makes it... actually advises that regular windshield washer fluid is a great alternative to the fluid THEY produce since almost all windshield washer fluids contain at least 40% methanol. Can you at least tell me the methanol content?[/align][/align]HEETâ„¢ : My Point is that there are surfactants/ which foam /and anti corrosion additive in ours: Do Not Use to run in an injection sustem
Methanol content for Windshield de-ice Concentrate is 95%v/v
