95 octane at the cost of 91 octane.
I asked my Aquamist person a question on methanol values. Here was part of his answer. This is for everybody.
"Methanol can be added in all proportions up to 100 percent, but as an additive limited to 10 percent will give an Octane increase of about 5 points. For example 98 Octane can be increased to 103, or looking at it another way, cheap fuel of say 90 Octane can, by the use of 10 percent Methanol, or approximately three quarters of a pint per gallon, will produce fuel of 95 Octane...." 20 gallons of 91 octane at $1.48 is $29.60. 18 gallons of 90 octane at $1.40 plus 2 gallons of methanol at $2.25 a gallon equals $29.70 and the octane value is 95. Here's another good site on fuels: http://www.turbofast.com.au/racefuel.html So, when I finally get my car back I will probably be buying methanol in 55 gallon drums for my gas tank and my methanol/water injection system. Anyone care to poke holes in this. Ken |
JONSKI!

There was a recent thread on this like one or two months ago.  A search should turn it up.  I had the "pleasure" of taking two semesters of Organic Chem that covered this stuff pretty thoroughly.  What I remember is that this stuff is BAD BAD BAD for you.  Those things fall under the "aromatics" category, and they do some pretty nasty stuff to your nervous system.  You can add MEK to that list too...

I thought too much methanol or any other kinda alchol was bad for the seals in your engine. (The non-metallic stuff)

I have decided to skip this idea. Too many concerns posted both here and the big list. Thanx all for your feedback. That's what it is all about.
