NORRS!

I might mount my bottle under the drivers seat. "But Ossifer I am NOT drunk!! I've been breathing methanol fumes!" Watching the RBT TV program, they picked up a kid on red P Plates - he blew 0.02 or something similar. The kid swore blind he hadn't touched a drop. Turns out he'd been breathing the fumes off his mates. His reading dropped back to zero in 5 mins.

So we need a brave guinea pig! But office!! I was sitting next to a LOT of drunk mates. Can you test me again in . . . 2 hours??

But Ossifer!! My methanol bottle blocked and I was trying to suck the line clear again! I guess I might have sucked too hard??

OK,

Cornball humour out of the way. A serious question.

For those already running injection, where have you mounted your methanol bottle? I'd like to mount it close to the engine to keep the line short.

And if it's not too hard, any chance of a photo of your bottle location?

Sorry about the late reply! These pics are from ray076's FG turbo. I has my setup to go in roughly the same place on my BA turbo but had the bottle facing the front of the car with the pump underneath it in the flat section being the headlight. For a neater finish I was going to make an alloy sheet box to cover it in

Aquamist doesn't need the pump close to jets due to its fast acting valve near jets. Apparently

Is the valve (in guessing just a one way?) in the nozzle or just goes inline? Pretty sure it doesn't matter with any kit where the pump is mounted worth regards to the nozzle! I like the sound the exhaust makes with W/M inj (getting lazy now so will call it "wm" from now on). The popping and burbling with the odd blue flame...

Well in regular systems the switch comes from the pump turning on and off. Aquamist have the pump always on with the valve stopping and starting the flow. So it is always at max pressure. I can have the pump in boot and valve under the bonnet and not have to wait for lines all the way from boot to pressurise. For a conventional set up I think the pump needs to be close to jets

The solenoid is for if mounting higher than the jet or boot install it stops the line from drip feeding the intake.

The pump itself stops the water from draining back. I would hope that your pump then has some sort of recirculation as the pump would be under pressure with nothing keeping it cool otherwise (like an inline fuel pump gets fresh cold fuel continuously from the tank).
