Default Can I use this for the alky kit?

I couldnt find straight alky around the area, but found this bottle which contains 98% Methanol. Can this be used instead?

Where in VA did you get that stuff?
As long as there isn't any glycol or the like, you should be ok.

Looks like Heet.. I wouldnt use it, too many chemicals designed to be used in conjunction with gas to prevent dissipation. Snow Performance sells their "Boost Juice".. Its not straight meth, but works pretty well..

When i haven't been able to get meth, i would use HEET or a mix of it and washer fluid....seemed to work fine for me. What else is in it? I thought it was 99.9% meth. No?
