Default Windshield washer for race fuel for nitrous?Need input.

I was wanting to run my race gas in the windshield washer resevoir, and put a big pump and run to my tnt F1 to try to run the 300 shot. I need all input. Please no smart *** comments. I have thought of a lot of the bad scenarios, just wanted to know if any one has tried this and if it works.TIA.

Not a very good idea.

1. FLAT OUT DANGEROUS.
2. That isn't an approved fuel tank. That won't tech anywhere.
3. FLAT OUT DANGEROUS.

A 1 Gallon JAZ nitrous-enrichment tank is only about 100 bucks. A good investment.

I have a 1 gallon Jazz tank used (missing the two fittings on top) I will sell for $50 shipped to you...

But if you dont buy mine buy a new one, 100.00 isnt worth what can happen..

Orange, use a holley blue pump or similar. You can find a smaller washer tank, and use the room up front to mount the jaz, or similar, and still have a washer tank. I am sure you seen Derty's setup and Recklass write up on dedicated fuel systems, you can take from those, use a lil imagination and whip up something good too. I was planning on getting a smaller fuel cell (or two) and use matching washer and race gas containers for the washer area. But still not sure yet. Make sure you research the deadhead vs. regulated return so you dont have any hiccups in the fuel system. Good luck.

Just a note, I see that your wanting to do a 300 shot using the TNT F1. It's not going to work. The nitrous solenoid will not flow much past a 125 shot. Your going to have to upgrade to F2 solenoids (nitrous and fuel).

I have a f2 kit, and was wondering is taking the fuel off of the rail that bad of an idea? I assume its fuel pressure drop is the big deal right?

how much pressure is required forthe fuel side? If I got one of these fuel cells and a pump am I going to need something huge kor will a cheap carb pressure one work?
thanks

The EFI wet kits are jetted for higher fuel pressures.

I run a 300shot off of the rail. There is no lean spike for me. I do have a billy pump though.

A friend of mine makes his own wet systems and while I have not seen what he uses for a fuel container because he always hides it inside the fender and runs a filler tube out of it into the engine compartment. For a fuel pump he uses a very cheap Purolator fuel pump from Advance Auto for 15-20 bucks.
