Alcohol Injection Question?

Hey My buddy and I were discussing Alcohol Injection.... he was saying that the tank MUST be DOT approved... is this true? If so is the tank that comes with the Alcohol Injection DOT approved? If not where can I get one? someone link some sites where to buy some.

Let me see what I can do:


Note...This system is for TURBOCHARGED and SUPERCHARGED Engines ONLY !

"The system uses a pressurized aluminum tank to keep the water and intake manifold at the same pressure so that a high pressure pump is not needed. Boost pressure from the intake manifold pressurizes the tank. This keeps the cost down and delivers very reliable performance.

A tank of water (or water / alcohol mix.) on average will last 1 tank of gas. If you are running very high boost levels and/or driving the vehicle exceptionally hard all the time then the water consumption will be higher. Excellent as an addition to your intercooler for running higher boost levels in warm weather and MUST for non-intercooled systems. System is adjsutable for starting point via an adjustable pressure switch."

Water Tank Dimension for #980 Kit: 9.625" x 5" x 2.5"

So 100 for a very cheap 2 peices? VS 239 for an actual kit?

The SF kit is a sprayer (with somewhat of a rough atomization) and a Holley brand pressure switch. You can buy both parts for about 70 online.

The kit dezod sells is an actual kit, not two parts.
