Product Information

Full details

This 5-gallon water/methanol injection tank kit from AEM Electronics is designed for enthusiasts needing a larger fluid reservoir or a reliable replacement for existing systems. Its key benefit is the integrated, highly accurate conductive fluid level sensor that works with error monitoring enabled controllers, offering extended run times and preventing mechanical failures. A potential caveat is that it requires a compatible water/methanol system and proper installation, as it is a component rather than a standalone solution.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this 5-gallon tank?

The primary benefit is its large 5-gallon capacity, which allows for longer run times before needing a refill, and the integrated, highly accurate conductive fluid level sensor that works with error monitoring controllers.

Is this tank compatible with all water/methanol systems?

It is compatible with almost any water/methanol application using a 1/4" OD hose. It is designed as a component and requires an existing injection system.

How does the fluid level sensor work?

The sensor is conductive and measures the fluid level based on electrical conductivity. It is designed to be resistant to mechanical failures often associated with float sensors.

Can this tank be used as a standalone water/methanol system?

No, this is a fluid storage tank and sensor kit. It is designed to be integrated into an existing or new water/methanol injection system that includes a pump and distribution components.

What maintenance is required for the tank?

Periodic inspection for leaks and damage, ensuring clean refilling with the correct mixture, and checking electrical connections are recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals for cleaning.

What is the advantage of a conductive fluid level sensor over a mechanical one?

Conductive sensors have no moving parts susceptible to mechanical failure or clogging from debris, leading to greater reliability and accuracy over time.

Does this kit include the pump or injection lines?

No, this kit includes the 5-gallon tank and the fluid level sensor. Pumps, lines, and nozzles are typically sold separately as part of a complete water/methanol injection system.

Troubleshooting

Fluid level sensor not reporting correctly

Ensure the sensor wiring is securely connected to the controller and that the electrical socket is clean. Verify that the fluid used has sufficient conductivity for the sensor to operate. Check for any debris interfering with the sensor's conductive elements.

Fluid leaks from connections

Inspect all hose connections for tightness. Ensure the 1/4" OD hoses are properly seated and secured with appropriate clamps. Check the tank's fittings for any cracks or damage.

Controller shows an error related to fluid level

Consult your controller's manual for specific error codes. Verify the sensor is compatible with your controller's monitoring system and that the wiring is correct. Check the fluid level itself; a critically low level might trigger a specific error.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended run times due to large 5-gallon capacity.
  • Accurate fluid level sensing with a sensor resistant to mechanical failure.
  • Broad compatibility with most 1/4" OD hose water/methanol systems.
  • Secure and easy-to-install electrical connections.
  • Durable construction for reliable performance.

Cons

  • Requires an existing water/methanol injection system to function.
  • Installation may require technical knowledge and tools.
  • The sensor's accuracy depends on the electrical conductivity of the fluid used.
  • Does not include any pumps or spray nozzles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Securely mount the tank in a suitable location, ensuring it is protected from excessive heat and vibration.
  2. Connect your water/methanol system's pump to the tank's outlet.
  3. Connect the system's intake line to the tank's inlet.
  4. Wire the fluid level sensor according to the provided color-coded instructions and the specifications of your controller. Ensure the positive lock system is engaged for a secure connection.

Compatibility:

  • This tank is designed to work with water/methanol injection systems that utilize a 1/4" OD hose for fluid delivery.
  • The integrated fluid level sensor is compatible with controllers that support error monitoring for conductive sensors.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the tank for any signs of damage or leaks.
  • When refilling, use a clean water/methanol mixture. Avoid introducing contaminants.
  • Check electrical connections for corrosion and ensure they remain secure.
  • Clean the exterior of the tank with a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals.
