He is an aquamist dealer but the tank is suitable for other water injection systems.
So it is only available from Howerton?

Yes for the moment, Jeff Howerton is doing it on his own until it gets more popular.

That is the most beautiful tank setup I have ever seen. If any one asks just tell them that your flux capacitor lol. I have been drooling over this for a minute. It will be mine, oh yes...

It is a fuel cell set up from Howerton Engineering. I believe it is stainless.

I think Jeff is too modest to post it himself so here is a taste of it.



You can see the rest from here.

My Howerton Install Location

Since I haven't seen anyone post pics of their actual install, I thought I'd share mine. The box is located on the driver side of the trunk. It fits nicely there. If you look close in the pics, you can see two sguiggly magic marker lines on the floor of the trunk. Those two lines follow two rows of spot welds on the trunk floor. There is plenty of metal there to use self tapping screws and have it hold nice and tight. I used 6 screws, but I'm sure 4 would work. Although the screws aren't in the corners of the box, I'm not concerned at all about the sturdiness of the mounting. You can also use nuts/bolts, as the bottom is easily accessed from under the bumper without having to remove anything.

I tell you, the craftsmanship of this box/setup is top notch! I opted for the baffled tanks and the ventilation fan, as I plan on using this setup for hot laps on a road course. Can't wait to take it to the track.
