Can I use the washer fluid tank for Meth?

I have had meth in other cars and now considering it in my GP2. Since I have no back seat, and I carry lots of product for work, I don't want to loose hatch space. Has anyone used the windshield the wiper fluid tank? I was looking at it last night when installing my H8 HID's. I have a few questions
1. Where should the pump go, lower than the tank?
2. What kit should I buy?
3. Nozzle size?
4. What psi shiould I have come on? I hit 18psi now after the IC, and DP install.
5. How much fluid does the tank hold?
Thanks
Mario

You can, but I would not recommend it. I've heard too many bad things about meth kits utilizing the washer fluid tank for meth. Go with proper meth kit, Aquamist HFS-3 or 4. You ponied up for a GP2, don't cheap out on the meth kit now!

Doesn't sound like he's doing it for money, he's doing it for space. I've heard of quite a few people (non mini though) doing this. What reason is that plastic jug not as worthy as one you buy specifically for meth?

Because the last thing you want when you have a front impact is meth being the first thing spilling out of the engine bay. Odorless and colorless chemical fire is probably the worst fire you can have and highly suggest you don't do it.

Well then I'm a dead man walking because I've been doing just that for the last 6 months.

Your call man. I'd rather the tank in the back. Besides, the tank isn't that much bigger to get in the way of losing trunk space. I even carry a case full of tools and don't feel I've lost space. But to each their own you know.

Listen to ra2

Go with an Aquamist HFS-3 or 4....its bar none the best on the market. Tie it to IDC, its more consistent than boost. You can play with nozzle sizes once you install it...I ran a .7mm most of the time

Also, what about noise? I work out of my car and on Bluetooth a lot, is the pump pretty quiet? I'm sure I can make it, so it camouflaged. IDC?

Well the pump only activates when you're on it, in which case whoever your talking to on bluetooth is probably going to hear your exhaust more-so than the pump.

It's noticeable, but it's not loud.

IDC is injector duty cycle....and the Aquamists can be triggered from this rather than boost. Gives a much more consistent operation than a kit that is tied to boost only (as the boost levels on the R56 can vary quite a bit).
