Snow kit install (tank idea)

[ASTAR]

Ok, so i was trying to figure out how to have a higher capacity without a bunch of tanks in the engine compartment and a tank in the bed that takes up space and anyone could mess with it. Here's what I came up with.

I bought a 3 gallon fuel cell from Summit and mounted it in one of my bed tool boxes. It fit great and I used the foam that came inside it to pad the mounting area. The pump is mounted to the framerail under the bed and the line drops through the bed right to it. I still have to wire it all but it is plumbed now so I should have it done tomorrow. I'll post pictures tomorrow of the bed boxes and the tank.

Snow kit? Call me dumb but I have no idea what its for.

C P, he's referring to the Snow Performance Water/Methanol injection kit.

[SField]

4 gallons.

Good stuff! I like the idea of Water Injection... . but that could be a bit of an Oxymoron in the winter around here!

thats why you just use windshield fulid w/methanol so it wont freeze...

I have been trying to figure something else to hold the water/meth. . I have been playing around with 4" to 6" PVC pipe and a heat blanket to custom fit the truck. . It's about 2' long and can be mounted on a angle and it's not going to break. It's good for anything you can worm clamp it too. And just use a remote fill tube. The space under my hood it tight as I am making way for future twins. . I have also heard of people feeding an air line into the tank from there PSI gage and having the system at the current turbo PSI. . It's only a 1/8" to seal and PVC pipe is real user friendly. . Has anyone else tryed this?

My truck has the snow II system. .

At work... I've still seen Washer solvant freeze!

Here's where I mounted my tank. I have side boxes in my bed and this fuel cell fit great. the line runs through the box, bed, and to the pump mounted to the frame between the framerail and the bedside. Hidden nicely. The line runs along the frame up to the engine compartment...



Oh and I finally got a pic of my truck

Nice looking set up (truck and tank). Good job!

 

[ASTAR]

Thanks again, I still have to hook up the pump "hot" wire to run the system (ran out of wire but got it tonight)

Got a stealthy switch and location set up too, I'll post up a pic of it tomorrow.

WOO HOO, this is cool. I just ran the last wire, filled the tank and BLAM!!! It was awesome. I got a few more lbs of boost and the EGT's came down a solid 200*. Once I knew there was fluid in the line, I made a run 0-100mph without the water/meth, then with. 1300* without and it never got over 1100 with. I can't wait to tow with this!

Right on! Hammer down! Keep us posted with your results.
