Here it is installed tucked in nicely. I know Bling is cool, but I like a more subtle look myself. It blends nicely. It took about 2 gallons to fill it and all associated equipment. Coupled the mostly water mix with some water wetter, it should perform as nice as it looks. Sorry for not cleaning up the engine bay first, but I spent a lot of time running some dirt roads lately and it's a bit dusty. Thanks again Rick.

As you can tell, there aint much bling in this Engine compartment, and the shiny new tank stood out to me. I scuffed it and painted it with Duplicolor bedliner. Thanks
BTW - I'm using it as a replacement resevoir for the plastic one that comes with the radix kit. I installed a short nipple with a coupling to a 90* adapter to 5/8 hose. The stock radix pump is connected with the shortest piece of hose I could fit and it hung just right for me to use the rubber lined clasp to bolt the pump to the inner fender liner. it's very solid and seems to be working fine. I've got about 4" of clearance between the pump and my headers. I just hope the heat doesn't kill the pump.

Looks really nice, I like the black look for sure. If the heat is any worry, you can build a simple heat shield out of anything thin metal or plastic, etc. They also sale heat shield material. just a thought, but I think 4"s should be plenty of room away from heat.
Again very nice install....
