I ran into the same problem as you Witry, I'm going to be running the Snow Performance Kit that comes with the variable controller. I was thinking about using my windshield fluid tank (which is what a lot of people recommend) but instead decided that I'm going to instead have the tank mounted in the spare tire well instead (because I actually use my windshield washer fluid). It hasn't been installed yet nor am I sure about the placement of the meth pump but I will be running the 2.5 gallon resevior that they just came out with.

Consider moving your battery to the trunk and installing your methanol reservoir in its place up front. Mine mounts the AlkyControl pump right under the methanol tank in that "battery" position, which also minimizes the line lengths.

Why Would You Put More Weight On The Nose Of The Car? You Put It In The Trunk Alon With The Battery.

Well, I for one don't feel comfortable with a highly flammable and combustible fuel inside my car!

OK....You also need spark and that is coming from where? It is also stored in a plastic tank. If you are woried about it than mount it by the fuel tank.
