methanol does not spray when its hot outside?

My methanol kit only sprays 4psi after sitting in the sun or during warm weather?

It works fine in the evening tho?

anyone know what it may be?

I think I fixed it. I noticed the injector box was installed on the MAF, and the safety was installed on the fuse box... when I tooutched them the one on the fuse box was cool and the one on the MAF was red hot. So I called Dan at Labonte motorsports. and he said it did have a overheat fuse. So hopefully all is well now! So far my ride to work went fine, but its cool this morning.

So it being loose was causing your pressure problem? I had a problem with my failsafe that was also temp dependent. When it was cool out like in the morning it would work fine but when it was hot the failsafe would activate the boost cut solenoid to wastegate psi even though everything was flowing ok. The gauge wasnt reading anything either. Dan help me out with a replacement though. He has great customer service.
