Rep Power: 326 Need suggestions for my intercooler water tank
Ok, here's the deal. I had an accident a few weeks ago. It wasn't too bad but it tore up my front end and destroyed my water tank. This tank was used to cool my intercooler. What I need to do is find something that I can use as a tank. It needs to hold at least a gallon of water and be leakproof. I also need to be able to remove a top so that I can fit my pump into it and also route my hoses into it and also it needs to fit between the front bumper cover and wheel. SF was supposed to be making me a new one but I can't wait around three months for them to finish it.
The tank before looked like this:
It can be a plastic tank but I need to be able to remove the top and fit two hoses into it. One from the pump to the intercooler and one back into the tank.
This is where the intercooler sits:
This is what the pump looks like:
This pump is maybe 5 inches in diameter by maybe 5 inches tall. It isn't that big but it needs to fit into the tank.
You can get an idea of what I need by these pics so any suggestions are welcome.

Rep Power: 326 I had a feeling you'd be the first to reply,lol.
Anyways, I can't find any specs as far as hose sizes, tank dimensions or opening size for it......so I don't know if it will work or not.

Rep Power: 389 I looked a little bit around other sites and can't find dimensions. Just e-mail Vortech and they'll give them to you....
