The actual system doesn't take long at all, I'm in the process of building a custom 10 gallon tank for mine that mounts under the truck. The tank that comes with it is way too small! But along with the tank, I'm also mount an air tank and compressor so its a work in progress.

Welding the bungs into the IC pipe is probably the longest part of the project.

I think I'm just going to run straight water until it get cooler out.

Are you guys having EGT problems? I know you're going to bigger injectors but what about with what you have? There was a tread on here about towing and how well you all did, should you have mentioned water meth set up to do so? Just foe those who are reading this.

Not at all! I'm installing water meth for the cleaning properties because of running straight waste vegi oil. EGT are no where near a problem with my setup. Matter of fact I probably wouldn't be installing it if I didn't win it at RRE.

Didn't know you won yours Mike. Did they ever post a list of winners from RRE and what they won. Guys really like to see what all was offered for prizes. Joey, live tuning is great. To bad we all couldn't go that route. Let us know how it works with the 10K trailer. Do you have EGT in both exhaust manifolds?
