Default Methanal Injection

I tried searching to find out what it is but I coulndn't find it. So I would like to find out what it is. My friend says its just the fuel that is used but you guys run it on the street and you run it with your pump gas so I would just like to figure it out so I know and so I can tell my friend. Thank You.

Thanks for the help. Now what do you have to do to your engine to handle this? Also how long does a tank of methonal last? Is it hard to get it all figued out if you are going to drive the car street/track?

IF you are not running FI or high compression that causes detonation, I would not bother with the kit. I have the Methanol Kit from Julio (Alky Control) on a Turbo charged Honda. Its a progressive unit that adjusts pump pressure according to MAP(on my set-up). I have a two qt. tank and it can last over a month as the alcohol is only injected under boost.
