Default Going the meth route, need help!

Sorry, I searched and couldn't find specific answers! I am going the meth route for my new turbo setup. But I need to know where I can buy methanol? There are no places around here that deal in race fuels. Anywhere I can buy it online? Aren't some using wiper fluid rated for -30? Anything I can by from a paint supply shop? What about the Heet stuff? Any help would be great!

i gallon of -30 wiper fluid mixed with 2 bottles of heat(the yellow one) and that's a perfect 50/50 mix. i called snow and that's what they told me to do.

Thanks! Any suggestions if I choose to go straight meth? A loooong time ago someone posted a link to a site that sold it online, they would deliver it monthly too, kinda like a subscription. i have found it one place online for 30.00 for 5 gallons plus shipping, which I'm sure will be quite a bit!

Methyl Hydrate = Methanol.

Home Depot sells Methyl Hydrate in their paint section. Every other hardware/paint store should carry it also.

Since you are in KY. I have found a place in state that sells 55 gallon drums. Quoted $110 per drum.
Brinkman Oil Co.
102 Old Nicholson Rd
Walton, Ky
859 485-4177

I am running 100%. Have used Heet in a pinch. Gets expensive. I am buying 5 gallon at a time at the local track. Bet they sell it at Beech Bend.

Thanks! Anyone else using Methyl Hydrate as well? Is that the actual product name? Or is it found in another product?

If there's any local places that race go-karts check with them.
