I got mine at Canadian Tire, so check whatever hardware/automotive/awesome store you have near you. May also be called "wood alcohol", or other. I get my gallon jugs for like, $8

although i have also read everywhere that E85 is about 105 octane. I have a conversion table from isecorp that list E85 at 123 octane.
I trust it because everything else on the LARGE conversion table is exactly correct. I dont see how a billion dollar corp. could be wrong, especially when its what they do. but i dont see how everyone one else would be wrong either...???

If I'm understanding the paragraph above its saying the pure ethanol is 105 octane. Once mixed with fuel the octane drops to 94-96.

denatured alcohol is not methanol, it is ethanol which is denatured with a bit of methanol to render it un-drinkable. ethanol (or ethyl alcohol, or corn alcohol) is the same stuff in booze, so they add methanol (a type of poison) to make it that way.
you might need to tune for it, stoich for methanol is lower than stoich for ethanol, so you might need to add a bit of fuel

Not the same.
sen2two, how much methanol do you need?and how often? I buy '99.whatever' pure methanol by the 55 gal drum for making my fuel. You might check with chemical companies in Orlando to see what quantities they sell in, some will break a drum for you and sell you 10 or 20 gals. If not, I can find a small drum a bring you some on our next 'trade day'
