Hi, Never even thought of windshield washer fluid to suggest to my son. Interesting post. He bought a 55 gallon drum, less expensive that way. Of the methonol & runs it straight, no water added. He did get a few jets with the kit, started out with what was recomended. A smaller jet. Went to a size larger one. Just guessing here. If methonol is required and your using washer fluid. Is anyone being penny wise & pound foolish. Or penny wise & being pound foolish? Shure would hate to repair an engine on saving a few bucks where you skimped. Dave

Has anyone thought of dropping ice cubes in their meth tank to drop the temps, or even chilling their meth jug? Just something I'm curious about, hell if you're spraying an intercooler with CO2, why not spray the meth tank too?

the 50/50 mix is what the farthers of waterinjection ran (german ww2 fighterplanes) Boost, nitrous and MW50 as they called it... i am sure they tested all possible combos, and when you can stand on the shoulders of great engineers why wouldnt you??
btw, i have a couple of buddies running the washer fluid as well, and it works awesome, is cheap, abundantly available, non corrosive and relatively non toxtc... thats what i would do...

I'm a biochemist, but that's not really close enough, is it? 
I'm a little surprised that nobody's ever tried them back-to-back on the dyno... Maybe I'll give it a try the next time the car is strapped down... although with the amount that I spray, I wonder if I might go a little bit lean.

oh, by the way, he runs 4.80s at 140mph on pump gas, injecting distilled water. btw, he is using two 625ml nozzles (the biggest snow sells). per other experts, you would have to use 6-8 nozzles the same size with pure meth to get a meaningful improvement in performance(and then that jacks up your AF ratios)

According to Turbochargers by Hugh MacInnes, he says it was tested and proven that increasing the mixture past 50/50 was of no significant improvement in 1971. Since Methanol is volatile and prone to preignition, it is undesireable past a 50/50 mix.

ive been runnig 100% meth in my car. i have not used anything else but i might try windshield washer fluid next. i see 40deg drop when i use it how about the rest of you?
, it actually burns slower, stabilizing pump gas's burn rate.

I'll try to stick to more reCent publications next time. I didn't realize pulling information from a published source was more ignorant (apparently) than people just spouting off opinions (for the most part)
.
Just thought I would add some info from a text source since I didn't see any so far.
