A hard annodized aluminum tank would stand up to methanol just fine.

Not an overly complex or expensive process.

Not that it matters for this particular product however.

No sight glass, I keep a eye on the clear tubing I ran to the radiator I guess I could run another clear line up the side if i thought it was loosing antifreeze no problem to date though.

This looks like a great piece!

Just wondering if it will fit in my set up.....I'm running GBody's Dual Ram Charger Fans with a PTE SLIC. It's a tight set up.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's enough room to mount this on my set up? I can't run out to the garage and look as it's still in storeage, and won't be out till after we return from Bowling Green.

If you're running the same set up as me, can anyone speak from experience on this.
It sure looks nice and I'd love to install one, but don't want to be dissapointed if there's no room.

Thanks,
Dave
