Default Alc injection and nhra rules..

Was planning to install a trunk mount AIS injection system.It has a cap with vent not sure if its screw on or what it has some lever thing it looks like so assume its like a fuel cell cap??
So this one should be legal.I would be ordered stainless lines as well?
I don't want to go to track and be told can't run.I was told needed vented screw on cap and think the stainless lines??was this correct.
Any of you guys running nhra track with alc injection systems..

I sold my meth kit......but was planning on relocating it to my hatch area. I had the same question so I am interested in the answer. It would be real easy to call NHRA and ask an official.

I was wondering if the tank needed some kind of special housing like a battery box type thing since there is no firewall. I wouldn;t want methanol flying all over the cab if the tank broke in an accident. Espicially with a trunk mounted battery!

yup. get a piece of 18 guage steel or aluminum and shape it to be between the hatch and hump, sealing off the ttop well where the tank will be.

So if have tank under hood it dont need to screw in and be vented?But if have tank in back of car need to have screwed in and vented. But also need bulkhead?
Will they care if just running 50/50 windshield fluid that isn't flammable like 100% meth?
Will it be sufficient to disconnect line or will I have to take tank out?
