Found these guys today while on my tuning trip here in Alabama. Sunoco dealer apparently. They've got Sunoco racing alcohol (methanol) advertised at the counter for $3.50/gal. They also have 55gal drums but can't remember the price (I want to say $130/per.)

For those die-hard race gas fans, they also have an old-school style analog gas pump outside w/ Sunoco 115L; $6.50/gal.

I have been researching AI over the last few days and found that the Walmart window washer fluid concentrate is 100% methanol while the supertech is 40%. Well you can't believe everything you read but it sure would be nice to be able to stop by Walmart to fill up your tank. Any comments on using washer fluid?

Here is the discussion I was reading:

Just found this section of the Forum...

I have used windsheild washer fluid for 2+ years with great results. The link you gave gives soemm great input into which brands and mixes to look for. I may try pure meth this year now that I am going to shoot for more HP.

Exclamation methanol for biodiesel

Hi Everyone,
i want to introduce my new idea, and I sure hope everyone will help me with it!
I work for a chemical company in Phila. So many times we sell methanol to people that have to pay an outrageous shipping cost because they are not aware of a reputable dealer closer to them. i am sure other companies do the same. it is sad. What I am trying to do here is get this program started where people post their methanol needs, and sellers can post their business information, and then buyers and sellers can reply to each other so that the buyer gets the best deal possible.

This is actually costing my company money, and we are going to lose sales over it, but we have some ads here and there for other chemicals so maybe we canm ake up the losses, but we are more interested right now in uniting this country in this biodiesel effort so we are not held captive to foreign oil. We need to get together and share in this!
So please help me get it started and come and post your needs.

go to biodieselmethanol.org

God Bless,
Maria Dorval

They recently switched to VP Racing fuels from Sunoco. I just went back to the Kennedale, Tx location yesterday to refill by 5gal methanol jug. I asked the gentleman at the counter about the VP alcohol they carry. They only have the M1 there which is perfect for us. May want to verify at the other locations if that holds as consistent.

so I guess nothing for MN people huh. I cant find anything in MN. found a bussiness site that all you have to do is type in your city and state and it will find to see if your state has any methanol around and it had no results for MN but other states it does. I dont know what I am going to do cause I am running 100% meth.

I'm working on sorting out one for North Eastern NC. I found it by asking some of the local Harley Davidson guys. The shop here in town has a Nitro Bike they race, and one of their best customers gets the fuels for them. I spoke with him briefly and he said he'd get me some prices. Update as soon as I know more.

FYI for the Florida guys, Holeshot in St Pete is no longer in business.

On the brighter side I keep drums at my shop for making biodiesel, usually have a hundred gallons laying around and I'm not far from where they were.
