Meth Tank Location

I am having a meth kit fiitted and wanted to have the tank fitted somewhere in the engine bay:

One option make a tank that will fit by the a/c filter area but another was to use and original MB washer bottle. My car is RHD and looking at engine bay pics of LHD it is obvious some components are fitted in reverse, the washer bottle is fitted on the opposite side to the driver in both LHD and RHD which means MB either make 2 bottles or the bottles are reversible.

So here is my question whats behind the fender on LHD passenger side?
Has anyone fitted anything similar?

This is for RHD cars

Since I don't use my wiper fluid and I'm told it holds about 2gal if you have headlight washers I'm using that bottle to do my meth setup in about 2 weeks. I don't want anything in the trunk and like it to look stock even though my car doesn't look stock on the outside or sound stock!!!

I thought about using the existing one but then wondered if you could add an additional one using either RHD or LHD bottles, that way you can keep your washer bottle and have a meth tank in the engine bay (well the wheel arch liner)

Is that using the existing one or fitting an additional one to the opposite fender?

You can add another bottle on the opposite side but the problem will be filling it. Your ECU and wiring is covering the only access to it and there is no easy way to run a hose to fill it properly.

I have been using the factory bottle for my meth kit now for about two years. It holds 1.08 gal without headlight washers and about 1.8 gal with headlight washers. I run 50/50 mix and believe it or not, it does a fantastic job of cooling and cleaning the windshield .
