What you need to prevent Siphoning you need to add a Solenoid. you can find out info from snow on the Solenoid here.

I hope this helps you out!

That makes more sense! I've been trying to figure what kindof check valve was going to stop the siphoning; I figured it had to be a type of diaghram or something.

How big are the resevoirs you're using and what kind of alc/h20 ratio are you using? I've always wanted to go this route but unless it has a "low fluid" indicator I'd be too paranoid to run it, fearing one night I'd get the race of my life and be at the light going "hmm, am I running low on mix?" and then gun it and *BOOM!*, no more engine.. I go over 10 pounds of boost maybe 5-6 times a tank of gas, which I wouldn't mind making it a "routine" to fill my alcohol when I fill up at at the pump. How much usage do you get out of one fill? Anyone have pics of the res and nozzle setup?
thanks.

With the SNOW kit you can get an optional Fluid Level Indicator Light that will tell you when fluid level is low.... SMC kit has that feature standard! There are many different size Tanks available. I use my Windshield Washer fluid reservoir for my tank. Phil (Airtroop01) has a 7 quart tank. My reservoir will last me way longer then a full tank of gas!

I'm ready to do this. Which system would you guys recommend, if you were doing it all over again?

Jody- are you running the Boost Cooler stage 2 MAF?

Thank you

Yes I am and that would still be my current recommendation. If you're 600+ HP I'd buy the second nozzle kit; mine is on the way. The only other thing I think should be purchased is the solenoid to prevent siphoning. Mine is doing it a bit and although it's not a biggie I ordered the solenoid and it is on the way also.

Jody- Thank you for the input!!

I'm not at 600hp, just the typical 4lb etc. But I'd like to go more aggresive on my timing map and have the piece of mind.

Do you think 18-19* with a 4lb pulley and 93 octane would be safe (with the Boost Cooler that is)?

I read that you went away from straight h20 because of some surging at part throttle boost. Do you think the solenoid for syphoning might help that, or is it programed to inject under those conditions anyway.

Thanks again for so much help!

If the tank will last longer than one tank of gas then that would be agreat refill interval. Casn someone give me an estimate of how much $$ it is to fill their resevoirs each time? Is it straight alc or alc/water mixture?
Thanks guys. This is definitely looking to be my next mod.
