Show us your meth tanks!

I'm ready to stop blending E-85 (with its constant and annoying 29E0 and 1 codes) and install meth on the 1-er since I'm addicted to my race file. I ran meth on my V70R for years, but the Aquamist system I have while not work with the BMW's DI. I'm considering the Snow Performance and Aquamist HFS-3 or 4, and I'm looking for experiences with both, but more importantly, show me those tanks!

With our small trunks, I refuse to give up a huge chunk of space, even though this isn't my daily driver. I'd love to see what you all have come up with, since the 3-series tanks won't work.

If you're looking for a stealthy boot tank that won't reduce trunk space then by far the best option has to be the Advan Performance tank. It's damn expensive AUD$850 + shipping, but it goes inside the boot floor cavity next to the battery and is invisible.



Below is mine.

What's your tank capacity compared with the Advan one?

Hmmm, I can't remember exactly what the Advan tank is but mine is about 5L. I have a feeling the Advan one is around 4L or so.

The Advan tank is so nice, but costs almost as much as the entire Aquamist system. And you’d have to account for fab and shipping time from Australia for us who are ‘Stateside. But it’s so nice…..Howerton makes a really nice tank, but it’s not all that cheap, and would take up some significant space in the trunk. Especially with my Vert, once meth goes in, my car will officially hold 0 golf bags. Ouch.

It's a custom made tank which was built in Australia for the same people that fab the Advan tank. I bought the car with it and I don't believe it was cheap...

Ok, I'll check with Jeff Howerton to see what he has.

I have the 1M battery tray because of the quad exhaust. Allowed more clearance for my meth.
