if you can figure out how to drill a hole you should be able to use the fitting from the bottom of the kit's tank.

I am running the alky control kit with APS twins. I sent pics to them and asked what they thought about using the APS washer fluid tank as a reservoir, they did not recommend it. I got a different tank from them that requires relocating the battery, but it works well.

I was going to do the exact same but relocating the battery is a few hundred bonez. I also contacted APS and they said the tank would be perfectly fine to use as the meth tank.... its stainless so it shouldnt be a problem at all.

Julio with alky control was the one who did not recommend using it for a meth reservoir. He didn't like the shape of it, or the location of the drain can't remember exactly what he said, but his concerns were with starving the pump under high g's.

It's the standard nozzle that comes with the Alky control kit. It has a washer with a rubber layer on it on either side of the silicone, poke a hole and tighten it down. I was worried about it sealing, but it hasn't caused me any problems so far.
