If the BOV was plumbed in the downstream exhaust,, could be kinda epic..

This year im only going to be 8 to 10 lbs so washer fluid and maybe a bottle of heat will do. Winter time i'll move the bov and move the nozzle so i can step it up psi wise. Where do you guys vent your bov's when on 50% meth?

I got the same issue ....my bov is downstream of meth nozzle.....i drove it a few miles with no hood and you can defiantly see it. Doesn't seem to cause a issue and it's not even enough to wet anything
I will probally move mine at some point too...

I was going to put the nozzle in the throttle body like NOS but it would be after the IAT which is not good??

Find your local dirt track fuel supplier. 16.00 for 5 gallons of meth here. And mix it to whatever flavor i want. Single 14gph right now and suprised how little it uses for a pass.

Washer fluid is still flammable just pour some on the ground and light it. There is all sorts of databases around on the content as long as what you're running is -20 to -30 and blue you are fine. If it's green at all it has anti freeze in it so avoid that.

Just to clear up what I meant... I believe 50/50 and less is considered non-flammable when mixed with air in the typical ratios that are used in alky injection. In say a charge pipe.... Not that you can't light a puddle of it on fire, just that a flame introduced to those ratios in the pipe aren't likely to explode.

From what ive read anything over 50% can and will be flamible. Ive got a 2.25 gallon tank. I just put one gallon distilled, one meth, and fill rest with water.

Changes the air fuel by a point.

I know its a little more expensive but a case (4 gallon jugs) of boost juice 50/50 is $32. Why go through the hassle of purchasing different things, mixing and handling and storing it, too dam convenient to buy it premixed. Not to mention consistency.

One thing else is I believe the boost juice and others have a smidgen of oil added to help prevent corrosion of metals. Just an added bonus.

Flammability depends on the amount of fuel to air ratio in the pipe. Unless you are spraying a ton... its likely you do not have a flammable air to fuel ratio.

I have a #6 Snow nozzle. Here is the Snow Performance chart. https://www.snowperformance.net/category-s/191.htm

Here is a picture of nozzle placement and BOV. I might re-do the intake pipe this winter??
