3-way 150psi meth safe solenoid?
The people here seem to be the most experimental of the methheads, and I was wondering if anyone had found anything. I was looking for one in order to simplify a need for a bypass pump and a new solenoid.

it currently appears that the single best injectant is a 50/50 mix of distilled water and methanol. i mention this because i see only meth in post one.
IF you decide to use straight meth you WILL need to have some sort of bypass or the meth will turn partially into a gaseous state and you will lose initial flow and pressure. i experienced this a few years ago when i was running a 100% meth FJO solenoid system. i added a bypass from a Weldon AI pressure regulator back to the tank and all was immediately well.
FJO made some excellent AI solenoids. they spent 6 months working w spray patterns etc. unfortunately they now only sell to Holley. i do have a couple of 700 cc/min FJO solenoids sitting around. they probably could be run by a few of the newer ECUs.
i have switched to Bosch EV14 fuel injectors running a 50/50 mix. they work well and can be easily run w a number of ECUs. (i run a ViPEC V88)
since they do have a small amount of iron in them they should be considered to be a maintainance item but the tradeoff is excellent delivery.
given i no longer run 100% meth i MAY not need the return line to the tank but will retain it. FJO's setup running 100% water did not need the line.

I was looking at using them for meth on the fuel side of a nitrous kit, or to just keep pressure constant on a shurflo pump. I mentioned methanol because it is more corrosive than water.
