YUP you got it. So you know, watch the orientation when installing this float, you want to install it so that with fluid the arm is in the up position and swings down as the fluid is used.

You got it, there are two strips on the trunk side of the v-bracket and one strip on the back seat side of the v-braket. The two strips on the trunk side are used to mount the lower section of the tanks AND the pump. The strip on the back seat side of the v-brace is used solely as an extra support brace and uses 1 1/2 inch bolts (5/16). These bolts do also go through one of the lower hole of the tanks, as you can see in the pics.

Many autoparts stores may have a funnel already adapted to a hose that may work with your application. I'm not too sure how wide the fill thread is on the tank, but something like this should work for you.

The aquamist kit comes with bungs that screw into the UICP after you tap it with a tap.

What Binh has told you is correct and you should definitely have those fittings for the UIP. Buy some JB weld and use that around the threads once the fitting is already screwed into the UIP. Take the JB weld and put it around the remaining threads, between the threads and the UIP.

What is the advantage of keeping the FiA in a visible location? I noticed some people stick that in the glove box and others put in a place where you could ordinarily see the LEDs.

Thanks.

There really is no advantage to having the FIA2 in a place where you can see it. I personally like it where I have it because it gives the dash area alittle more bling. The DDS3 gauge shows you the flow of the alcohol too so there is no need to see the FIA2. I like seeing the rate at which the injectors are pulsing though, and then when you are injecting the alcohol you are able to see how it directly mirrors the pulses of the stock injectors. It's all a matter of preference.

On that note, is there really a reason to keep the DDS3 gauge in view?

With the automatic failsafe, you don't need to monitor anything.

Also, I've heard on another board that the DDS3 display is very bright, even when hooked into the dimmer circuit. Have you found that?

Thanks.
