any shops around here fab aluminum water tanks for water injection?
It would be great to have a local shop or individual make a custom shaped aluminum tank for my water injection install. I could provide an autocad detail of what I'm looking to have made. thanks

Who said that? I have no problem paying standard shop rates for what I want if they know their stuff.

Thanks Shawn. You still running dyno inc? I wouldn't mind getting back out there some time after I get the water injection installed and running. Can horace do some sheetmetal fab work or does he want someone to bring him the pieces prefabbed?

Im making my own, but it's not for alchy injection. Why not just get a 1 gal. fuel cell? Seems as if it would be more resistant to corrosion.

Re: any shops around here fab aluminum water tanks for water injection?
I'm running out of room in the engine bay and want to hide a custom tank in the fender area. I need to get out there and make up a sketch of what will fit to have ready if/when I find someone to fab it. I could fit one in the battery tray but it would be nice to use the open area in the fender. I might hack one up out of pvc pipe to use temporarily.
