so it probably wouldnt be a good idea to mix in the methanol lol. i was only thinking about adding half a gallon or so per 40 gallons of diesel. ive got 220 gallons of methanol i need to use up, but its not worth blowing up a set of injectors for.......unless of course that would be a good way to convince the wife i NEED a set of stage 1's lol.

Also, remember that 50/50 is not cheap and in the long run it would be cost affective to buy a IC.

im in kingsport tennessee. i bought four 55 gallon drums of it with the intention of making bio out of it. but the place i was getting my oil cut me off when they got a paying contract on their oil. theyve never even been opened. id have to check the bill from them, but im thinking i paid somewhere around 1k for them. but id say im too far away for you to be interested lol.

I wouldn't want to run 50/50 though. Do you just run washer fluid or do you actually mix it?
Yeah too bad your that far away. Post it in the classifieds at infopop and you might be able to get rid of it depending on market prices. I haven't bought Methanol for a few months so I am not sure where its at right now.

More water....More cooling. More Methanol...more chance for screwing something up!!
I think 70% methanol is about the max anybody will tell you to run but like Steve it should be very limited. Many run washer fluid but I am not sure the ratio of that. It will depend on the freeze temp of the fluid. Lower freeze temps have more methanol.
