What are you guys using in your Methanol tanks
cheap blue washer fluid , i think its 30 methanol .
Ive heard and read more methanol is more power but more water is better for cooling the tops of the pistons .
Plus i drove mine to work whenever its not gonna rain and using boost juice or methanol gets expensive . I put went through 16 gallons of washer fluid last year . Thats how many jugs i saved .
I was going to make my on 50 50 with methanol and distilled water .

If you have any fuel suppliers in your area give them a call and see if the have 55 gal drums of Methanol that they will pump out and sell by the gallon. I have a big Sinclair plant about 10 min away from me that carries it. I stop in with a empty windshield washer fluid jug and they fill it with 100% meth for $5.29/Gal. Then get a Gal of distilled water from the grocery store for $1.25. Pour half the meth into another washer fluid jug and top them off with the water. 2 Gal of 50/50 mix for $7.

Any circle track, 1/4 track, and/or race fuel suppliers should sell methanol by the gallon. It's around $4. It is is much cheaper to buy pure methanol and mix your own.
Long winded video that should have been about 30 seconds long... but this guy breaks it down and does a good job explaining it.

Methanol is cheaper than denatured and works better... Though as said above you're not getting much methanol in washer fluid and your paying alot for it.

I have always ran a 50/50 mix. It depends on the situation, though.
No intercooler and race gas? Run pure meth for lower IATs.
Cast pistons and lots of boost? Run a 50/50 mix to keep the pistons cool.

You can't trust a saturated IAT sensor. The actual air temp is nowhere near as low as the sensor is reporting. Better off spraying downstream of your IAT sensor.
