Default Where is a good place to buy a tank for methanol?

I recently purchased the cooling must kit and need to get a tank. I'm unable to use the stock windshield washer tank due to space constraints under the hood.

I thought I had saved a link that was posted up but can't find it and search is too vague.

I did find this place last night and it appears to be the same tanks without names on them.

Anyone else have any links?

Junkyard. Any OEM windshield washer bottle will work. You have a LOT of fitment options there.

Poly mower fuel tanks work well if you want cheap.

You can get the AEM tanks with low level sensor already tapped from Jegs for $84

Alcohol Injection Systems make the best tanks.

Although Devil's own do some nice ones too.

Just depends whether you're after something cheap and nasty or something nice and neat.

I'm looking at the 1 gallon AEM tank with the LLS also, $84 isn't a bad deal for some peace of mind.

I've used US plastics multi purpose tanks they work fine. 99% sure they are the same tanks the big guys use and just buy them in bulk.

I went with the 3qt US plastics tank that looks dead on to all the other methanol kit providers. I got the cap, tank and a low level sensor for $27 total shipped. Sensor came from eBay. Can't beat that at all.

I got the tank and cap yesterday and it seems very solid and I would recommend it so far by appearance only. We shall see how it holds up.
