I really prefer the alky tank under the hood...but for our cars the trunk tanks are a better option. And I think anything over a gallon is reasonable. 3-4 gallons will go for a while...like I would bet a gas tank of beating on it.

I really like the small one for under the hood tho. You think I will empty it too fast?
It all depends on how hard you're gonna hit that point of boost to activate. Having a vert doesn't exactly give us a lot of room in the trunk. If you cruise around a lot and don't get on it too much you can make a gallon go for 2-4 weeks. If you know you're gonna be racing a lot, then maybe go for a bigger tank. Otherwise, don't overdo it. I purchased a 5-gallon bucket earlier this year and I haven't used all of it, maybe a little over half of it.

The tank that comes with the kit was converted to being my washer fluid reservoir. The washer bottle is now my meth tank. The washer bottle hold one gallon vs. the supplied meth tank that hold 3/4 gallon.

Yup. That's as far over as it will go. Will definitely have to use a long funnel to fill it but it's not too bad.
