I dont think any insurance company would want you to use your "Windshield washer fluid" as a form of alcohol injection on your car. I'm not an insurance agency nor am I in the claims department. BUT, if a policy holder came to me and said their car caught on fire cause they were injecting methanol into their engine to gain power, would I cover them? Ask yourself the same question....

That was enough for me to immediately switch to a trunk mount tank and it was the best decision I could have made.

As others have mentioned, your flow rate improves because you are gravity feeding the pump and you are also keeping your meth tank cooler.

I didn't think it would happen to me.....but it did.

Meth degrades rubber seals, so it's just a matter of time with a WW tank.
I recall talking to a few people who were seeing small puddles under their car from time to time, speculating that their WW tank may be leaking. I remember someone telling me they ignored that hint, their car is no longer with them. Good move on your part to read into the clues and do the right thing.
