I just used denatured alcohol from Ace hardware mixed with Distilled water @ 35/65 mix. Sure, it might be more but I can get it where ever and whenever I need it. I don't have to worry about finding methonal anywhere and worry about loading/shipping it.

That site also shows different kinds of meth available - what kind should be used in the typical 'forced induction' vehicle situation?

John,

You can use the least expensive racing fuel methanol as it is 99.95% pure and it is the same quality used by biodiesel plants. 100% methanol is usually reagent grade and is too expensive for any of us to use.

The methanol you'll need for the meth injection kit is the GEM methanol. Should be around $62 plus shipping. I have tons of it in stock as of now. I also can ship 15 gal and 55 gal drums but those have to go truck freight I believe.
