Unfortunately I'm exposing my city boy ignorance here... But where do you "mount" this tank? Can we get a pic? I'm curious.

lol...I'm no country boy. I'm a normal suburbanite just outside Chicago who just happens to have a large yard (3/4 acre).

Would you believe:
1. I plan to start a side business where I drive to tailgate parties and spray beer for people out of the handsprayer/wand.
2. To troll tailgaters, I plan to automate my X1's liftgate via a button on the center console and, once opened, the tank will spray brake fluid at the car behind me.
3. I am at war w/ the many weeds taking over my backyard and no longer have the desire to use a 4 gallon backpack sprayer to tackle the 22,000sq ft back yard.
4. I needed a better way to transport and put Sriracha on everything when I go camping/backpacking.

1 is correct. The other 3 are just great ideas.

Definitely need to be careful when combining mower with drinking.

BMW should take note!

The wire harness supplied w/ the tank runs outside the frame and is held in place with sticky-back clips. Wtf... I need to find a suitable switch to mod into the instrument/control pod. Then I'll run the wiring under the body.

I also have some LED light pods that I'll add a switch and harness for. Mod'ing my lawn tractor.....yay.

Used today for first time. First lock position would be for tire pull. Second lock position is full height. Initial setup is straightforward. Instructions concise and predictable. Very heavy, and well constructed pieces. Pressure hose to hose couplings are quality components. I just might keep them on the floor under the car. I had them up and braced to the wall, but they are heavy to move. I haven’t tried them on the F13 yet, but by measurement they should fit under the frame.
Jackstands for surety.

It will definitely green things up. Just be careful not to overdo it or it will be so green that it looks almost black.

Some of us don't care enough about the politics to prevent us from buying things we like.

In my opinion, all companies are corrupt in one way or another. Do enough digging and you will find something you don't like about any of them. Yes Kap is douche and Nike keeps him around for whatever reason, but if you can get past the hideousness of 90% of their products, they make a decent shoe and some damn fine golf shorts if I say so myself.

My toaster oven failed yesterday, so I decided to just get a toaster since that's 95% of what I use it for anyway. Picked up the best consumer unit on the market... Breville.
