General Installation
Practices
To avoid serious injury or death, follow
the safety information in this document.
1.
For ease of installation of your
Water-Methanol injection system, famil-
iarize yourself with the procedure by
reading the entire manual before start-
ing work. This instruction manual con-
tains 28 pages of text, illustrations and
parts listing.
2.
Disconnect the ground cable from
the battery before beginning work. If
there are two batteries, disconnect
both.
3.
Route and tie wires and hoses a min-
imum of 6 inches away from exhaust
heat, moving parts and sharp edges.
Clearance of 8 inches or more is recom-
mended where possible.
4.
When raising the vehicle, support it
on properly weight-rated safety stands,
ramps or a commercial hoist. Follow
the manufacturer’s safety precautions.
Take care to balance the vehicle to
prevent it from slipping or falling. When
using ramps, be sure the front wheels
are centered squarely on the topsides;
put the transmission in park; set the
hand brake; and place blocks behind
the rear wheels.
: Do not use floor
jacks to support the vehicle while
working under it. Do not raise
the vehicle onto concrete blocks,
masonry or any other item not
intended specifically for this use.
5.
During installation, keep your work
area and components clean to avoid pos-
sible dirt entry into the engine.
6.
For proper performance from your
Water-Methanol injection system and to
prevent engine damage, it is essential that
your engine’s fuel system be capable of
delivering fuel at the factory’s specifica-
tion. We have often found vehicles with
inadequate low pressure side fuel deliv-
ery that isn’t apparent until performance
modifications are made.
