the label isn't straight up is what he was getting at. from the pic and where you have it mounted, it looks like you do not have the outlet where the line hooks to pointed straight down. so, this puts the dip tube at a sideways angle. at this angle, when the bottle gets low, it will uncover the diptube and cause you problems.

Well, that's why my F-Body will never be my daily driver.
That's what the Jetta is for:
It's no V8 but it gets me to and from work without any headaches and runs reliably on 21 psi:
Thank you for the props, though! By the way, if I do put people in the back they usually compliment me on the heated arm rest!

ok thanks, mrr23 and meatloaf, i will fix it. i usually don't carry pass in the back so i really don't have to worry about it being in the way.

00FormLS1, Iam all for a bottle mounted on the driveshaft tunnel. Did you measure your angle? The pics are non conclusive, as they are very blurry.
Isn't it cool though, to ride into battle with guns blazing?! Hidden bottle dudes will never understand, right!?

no i didn't. it should be at a 45 degree angle? i think mines is a little low because the end of the bottle s hitting the bump in the back. i have some spacers i am going to put there to get it a little higher. i just bolted it in tuesday and snapped some picks. i have thursday off so i will get longer bolts and use the spacers i have then put some more pic's up.
i had the bottle in the spare tire well and got tired of geting out to open the bottle. I also missed a few races with cars that i needed the bottle to have a good run with them.
