My angry email to Whipple must have had some effect- they just emailed me and asked for the serial number.

Just as I expected, cutting the tank turned into a bit of a can of worms. In order to get to the back sides of both mounting holes I had to really split it open. You can see the pink plastic weld I used, where it flowed into the channel that encircles the hole in the corner. Like I said, shit design. I cleaned everything with lacquer thinner, filled everything including both mounting holes completely and clamped the shit out of it. I’ll drill new holes through the JB Weld after it cures. I figure that’s better than trying to keep those holes clear and will be less likely to leak. We will see.

The ******** at Whipple emailed me back to say it’s out of warranty (duh, I told them it was) and the $125 is actually a discount, retail is really $175. Which is a bunch of shit since there is no part number and they’re only included with a supercharger bundle unless your original pos tank develops a leak. And even if there is a part number, Whipple is the one setting the price. F them. I’ll spend more money for a nice aluminum tank before I pay them a dime.
you can't integrate it into the vehicle cooling system? how much pressure does it hold?

I'm with you Mark. I bet you could have something better fabbed up.

No, I’m not interested in doing that even if it’s possible. I’m pretty sure it runs way cooler than the engine cooling system. 5-8 psi.

Hell yeah brother! Get them cold IATs with a big tank! 
Actually won't really help driving around IATs but should help keep it from getting heat soaked and reduce the time it takes to recover. I've done bigger pump, lines and heat exchanger but the one thing that showed a noticeable difference on logs was the big tank.

I like the painted trim on the hatch. Looks really good. Interesting that you color matched the lift handle as well. I never thought of that. Kinda sticks out to me. But I like the uniform color though. When I first got my escalade pillar covers painted the shop painted them pewter instead of silver birch. I didn’t realize until I put them on the truck. They were WAY too dark.... I was like well crap that doesn’t match. So I had to drive back to him and show him and he was like oh yeah I painted them the wrong color... he ended up having to redo them. I’m surprised though... those esky pillar covers have been on my truck 4 years now and the paint still looks really good. Not a single chip. Hopefully when you repaint, it’ll fix the off color on your pillar covers.

There’s no room for a 2.4 gallon tank.
