SlowCar, are there any connectors needed for the tank or does the Aquamist HFS-1 comes complete with everything except for the tank? Trying to get all the parts before I attempt the install. Thanks.

The tanks and pump are mounted on 2 aluminum strips bolted to the V brace behind the seat:

Awesome! I think your set-up is nice and clean. The only concern that I would have is do you have any problems in keeping a nice flow to the injector given the distance between the pump? I read that it's not recommended to have a long distance on one of the alcohol injection websites.

on my aquamist HFS-1 system, the flow sensor shows that once the boost trigger point (10psig) is reach, there is ~1000cc/min methanol flowing from the pump in the trunk to the 2 jets in the UICP. There is no issues of not flowing enough.
