Methanol upgrade questions.

Hey!

So I've had this methanol kit in my trunk for a while now. It's the BMS washer one that used the windshield washer tank and mounted under the hood. I want to upgrade it to a trunk mounted tank. I was just wondering if I need to purchase anything other than a tank and some hose to make it work. Researched as much as I could to try and understand how the meth kit installs but I still don't feel like I know as much as I should.

Here's what I have:


Looks to be:
-FSB
-Pump
-Solenoid?
-Nozzle

My car's current mods are:
-JB4 ISO
-Downpipe
-AFE intake
-Chargepipe with meth bung

I'm hoping to just buy a tank from coolingmist or something and be able to install it.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

All you need is the extra hose and wire to reach from the engine bay to the trunk. I would buy a tank that you can mount the pump on for a clean install. Right now, I have a devils own tank.

I also had this one a few years ago from AIS.

Both tanks are awesome but if money is an issue then you can always get a small 1 gallon tank.
