Why? Because the area is hot there?
What other "easy" location do you suggest me?

You should just install in the trunk, away from heat, moving parts, small children and animals..
Safety first , right?

Personally Im not sure its that bad of an idea. Now obviously it should be positioned in a safe spot but I dont see any issues with it being in the engine bay. FWIW most windshield washer reservoirs are tucked up in the engine bay. Have you ever heard of using windshield washer fluid as your meth source?

Evo's windshield washer fluid tank is in the trunk. You could use the intercooler sprayer tank if you could find one for 03-04 Evos and only use 50/50 Meth/Wather mix. Don't use full strength if it's anywhere near the engine bay.

Yeah I know it's in the trunk on our cars (I hazzz an evo lol!! )

I was just making a statement that lots of cars have the reservoir in the engine bay. And I dont know the ratios of typical windshield washer fluid but just saying that if that is safe in the engine bay then its really no different than a meth tank assuming the ratios are the same.

I just use the original IC spray reservoir equipped with my 04, it holds well over a gallon. The two pumps I use, are located near the bottom of it. Been using the reservoir for concentrated methanol like that since 2006.

Looking at the instructions for meth kit most recommend installing pump/bottle inside engine bay.
As suggested some people use windshield bottle fluid bottle and meth resoviour.
Safety is key as suggested I would ensure if a leak would occur it would be out of way of anything flammable.
