Question Smaller Washer Fluid Reservoirs?

Do they make any aftermarket plastic washer fluid bottles that are small and bolt to just one side & I can plug the sensor into? I'd love to get that plastic monster out from behind the nose...Thanks guys.

im wondering if the washer pump will fit into an IAT sensor gromet, then you could just fit it into a small catch can and mount it out of the way.

I'd like to keep alil on reserve incase I get hit w/ dirt on the highway or something. Someone suggested "Advanced Auto"... I'll check that out.

Only thing that reservoir is good for is to mix your Water/Meth for boost.

Not planning on Meth anytime soon, any ideas of any cars that have real small ones that are narrow enough to fit between the nose and radiator?

Give Julio a call at AlklyControl. His kit has an optional small plastic tank with brackets that fits inside the engine compartment because his meth kit for fbodies replaces the stock washer tank with his tank which appears to be same as stock but with his plumbing.

I think it cost be about $20 extra for the small tank.

Since mine is a summer weekend warrior only it's likely I'll never use the washer tank but got it anyway.
