I was thinking of getting the RA OMP adapter for my '89T2, and since my subzero start assist system is disabled, the thought was to use the subzero tank in its stock location to become the premix tank. Not sure how practical that would be, as it doesn't have much capacity and would be a bit awkward to fill, given its location.
I haven't seen anything about how high it needs to be for gravity feed. Educated guess tells me that the less vertical the tubing/hose is the less affect gravity will have. Following that same logic I'm also guessing that the reservoir would need to be higher than if it were a direct vertical drop.

TTT has his mounted where the air pump bracket would be..I forget if he has an RE or an REW. I'm gonna guess at most that's less than a foot. BUT that is also a direct drop down to the MOP. Tubing that is travelling a more horizontal path I'm guessing would need to be higher.
