A new design concept for water/methanol injection tank

[Richard L]

From time to time, someone from somewhere will come up with something good... Jeff at Howertion Engineering has come up with something truly GREAT! A new approach of to metal tank designed for the water injection community. Two 4-quart tanks are strapped side-by-side to minimise water surging problems due to the small footprint on the lower side of the tank.

He has combined plastic and metal together to produce a corrosion free water/methanol tank system encased in a sturdy 2mm aluminium shell, he has also made rooms for the water pump, level sensor and other peripherals. The assembly is free of wires and hoses except at the point of exit and entry.

The tank has also a series of cleverly positoned highpower leds (any colour) for illuminating the entire tank contents. A virtual light-bar gives instant display of water/methanol level inside the tank.

Jeff does some GREAT work and he's a big help. Probably stocks the most AQUAMIST accessories in the USA, if not North America. I ordered my tank the night he sent me an email of his new creation. AQUAMIST + HOWERTON = 1 BAD A$$ TEAM.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, both of you!

I spoke to Jeff today, you have gone for the kitcken sink set up - including the fan! You must post some pictures here of your setup.

I have just received some pictures of a fully loaded version for ther HFS-6 before it is shipped. The box is black. See the amount of hoses and wires inside before the cover is put on.

How dare you! That would be my set-up! I was going to post those pictures but i havent had a chance over the weekend. Can't wait till it gets here!!!

I did not post this on the Bimmerforum for this reason. We need more pictures please.

I started a thread on this.

Man, that reminds me of my SRT-4 setup! Remember it, Richard?








Only that's enclosed in a box, rather than mounted on a strut bar, and with extra cool gadgets! I wish I could fabricate... :?
I need to find info on that!

[Richard L]

I remembered this well, it is a fantastic fabrication. I still have the pictures somewhere. If you still have them please post some more.

These are the only other pics I have handy.

As water/methanol injection is becoming more technical and main-stream, some track racing series are now permitting it. As usual, safety rules become more demanding. Howerton Engineering has developed a full range of fuel cell with AN fittings (braided lines) for the aquamist system.

Jeff, the owner of HE, energineering trained has vast knowledge of the aquamist product especially the HFS-xx water injection range. We have worked together since the beginning of this year, productionise a range of brand new specialist aquamist accessories to the public where normally not available to the public
