right now, it uses the windshield washer tank. BUT.... thats only for the prototypes. When we release it, it will have its own tank with its own pump.

Rep Power: 313 yea, im upgrading them tomorrow. All thanks to my radiator fans breaking on a long drive with no place to pull over!
Im doing a headgasket tomorrow, and maybe pistons. It all depends on how bad i cooked my engine. The car still runs great, its just i need to be safe, because i have a long trip to take this week.

Rep Power: 313 it was spraying coolant out of the reservoir. So the coolant level was low. I guess it was soo low that the CTS couldnt detect that it was hot. O well, it will all be fixed this week.
I run propane on my stang, and it does many diff. things for many people. In brief:
-it works like nitrous on Desel cars, helping to get a much more complete burn.
-it can be used like a water/alc/meth system on turbo cars, comming in at higher boost to add fuel, or to reduce detonation. can be used as a supplimental fuel system when you system is maxed. (lots of buick turbo guys use it this way). Also, if your car is tuned on race gas, you can use propane (injected as if it was a dry nitrous kit), to help you run pump gas... NOTE: propane is approx 140 oactane.
-On my stang, i run a wet nitrous kit, and rather than take fuel from my schraeder valve and need to run more pumps, retard timing, and use race gas, ... i just plumb propane to the wet side of my fogger, and when properly jetted i can run big hits at full timing and on pump gas in the tank. Its a real trick set up- and i dont know a single person who does it the way i do- but it works very well for me =)
-so for civics, we need 1)supplimental fuel, and 2)higher octane to fight detonation, so propane may be promising, perhaps using somekind of progessive nitrous control to deliver graduating ammounts according to boost... that would be fly, and is quite possible to conceive.
-another benifit is that it goes from liquid to gas as soon as it decompresses, that is the second it hits your intake tract, so no worries about injecting wet fuel into out intakes. hope this helps someone outthere-
