IWSTI Addict since: Jul 2006 Trader Rating: (1) | I am going to be getting an Aquamist kit soon, and have been debating whether or not to get the Spec C tank to go with it. It seems to me that at lower levels there would be much more room for the liquid to move around during heavy cornering, possibly starving the pump. Would it not be safter to run meth out of the smaller intercooler spray bottle, as it is much narrower and wouldn't allow as much "sloshing"?

IWSTI Addict since: Sep 2006 Trader Rating: (1) | The Spec-C tank also has internal baffles to minimalize the sloshing. The center of the tank where the pump would be fitted is at near the lowest part of the tank . |

| Amateur STI Driver | I run the spec-c tank into a smaller feeder tank that prevents the pump from sucking air during corners. Works like a charm. Track tested - mother approved. With even 1/4 tank in the spec-c, the low level light will come on during hard turns. The baffles help some, but certainly not enough if you're planning on running on the track. If you keep the spec-c topped up regularly, you should be good though. This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
