New question. Since I am injecting methanol in to the intake air, doesn't this mean that everything in the car that runs off of boost/vacuum is going to get a methanol bath now? I ask this because my boost gauge sending unit is leaking and it got me thinking, can meth damage the factory vacuum systems like the brake booster, fuel pressure regulator etc...?

wondering if you ever figured out a way. I mounted my low level float a little high because I thought only the light would trigger and that way I'd have a good amount of fluid left before refilling.

Avoid system without a "flow" shut-off solenoid valve, it tends to dribble after the throttle is slammed shut.

On the diagram with the wiring for the failsafe the solenoid's that you can purchase, do you think they would have those at any kind of local retailers? Or is that most likely an online purchase? I'm just thinking of how quick I can get the item. I'm also debating on using my trunk windshield washer resevoir, is that good or bad?

You can use almost any low power consumption 3-way solenoid with a orifice of 1.6mm larger. Search on this forum for "MAC valve" it has been a popular topic of discussion sometime ago.
The HFS-1 is designed to be truck mounted, you can use the washer reservoir provided it does get emplied too quickly.

I've made the decision to go ahead and use the washer reservoir for now until I get a tank at a later time. I think it will be nice when I travel to have it protected and a clean look. I'll post pictures/thread when I attack and finish 
I will search out that valve

Hello TTP,
There should be a two-core round black cable in the kit. Only two wires are needed for the valve (top pin is not used). In its absence, any 18-22awg twin core cable will work.
I can send you some on Monday.

Here's a stupid question though. I'm getting close to finishing and going to tap the uicp now and my kit does come with the Y but the HSF-1 you only use one nozzle correct? Because my belief was that the HSF-5 was the kit using two nozzles? Can you please elabrate

Another PITA was the fuse missing from the fuse holder. I had to actually troubleshoot why the pump was not turning on. Its a simple thing but wow, why doesn't ERL just put the fuse in the holster?

Negative, I went out and purchased some more wire in blue and red color because there was not enough to go to the junction box and back to the engine bay to the 3 prong solenoid

It appeared the latest batch has the two-core cable missing, I can only apologise for this incident. Please pm me your address, I will ship some out to you on Monday.
The y-piece supplied is for twin-nozzle applications. You can install install both adaptors and plug one up until you need to run twin nozzle in the future. HFS-1 and HFS-5 has the same flow capabilities.
