I've had to prioritize [under driver seat] accessories based on what I need most. I understand sacrificing the storage option, but what about windshield washer fluid, subwoofer, air compressor, large AUX battery, amplifier, etc. ?

I installed a JL Audio Stealthbox 10' subwoofer over the Summer, (because this vehicle is loud and clear hi-fidelity audio can cure the monotony). Unfortunately, here in the Midwest it got cold and I wanted to add the glass windshield with a wiper and had nowhere for the washer fluid reservoir... UNTIL THIS EVENING.

Here is my idea, does anyone have other ways to utilize other wasted space?

Bent up the tank bracket and placed in another spot under the seat of my 2022 HP 1000-5 EPS. The assembly must be centered for seat to lock, but as shown in the picture with the BLUE arrow, just have to slide the tank over to fill:

That's pretty good idea, if you get rid of all that EVAP crap you'll have the perfect room for an under seat fan... 👍

That's odd, mine IS NOT the Califo model. Not sure I understand its function.
Nope, I apologize... that's not the EVAP stuff, looked weird on the pic close up compared to mine that's always full of mud 😂😂
I believe that's part of the intake, Honda makes some funky canisters like that I "think" for sound purposes....??

Great idea on the tank relocate, now you have warm fluid to defrost the windshield!
if you need more room for the tank so you don't have to move it to fill it, you can cut out the deep section of the tray and then drop it back in from the top. The sides have a slight taper to them so it won't fall thru. A little RTV and some DynaMat extreme and you are set

@wyldeman How has this worked out? About to install the kit and don't want to lose the underseat storage. Wanting to go this route. Is the bracket screwed in or just it just rest on the rail? Does it move at all?

So far so good. Haven’t had to screw it in, resting on the rail has proved to have more than enough retention strength.
