Default What are the DANGERS of Meth injection?

Like its says, what are the dangers and down falls of a meth-injection kit??
I.e what happens if you run the tank dry and go haulin *** down the street, And so on? Kit would be going on a built engine with about 16lbs of boost thru a d1sc!

The meth is all that is letting you run that kind of boost on pump gas... so DON'T RUN OUT... and if you do, keep your big foot out of it.

If it doesn't work you can potentially damage your engine.

Because Meth (or Meth / H20) injection is designed reduce intake air temperatures and also add a fuel with an octane rating of anywhere from 114 to 130 (depending on what you read) to eliminate detonation, the removal of that additive from your combustion chamber will allow for much higher intake air temps and (most likely) severe detonation.

So, with that in mind, keep your tank filled!

i periodically remove the fitting from my intake tube and visually inspect what comes out of the nozzle when i run mine. check for delays, or priming problems, or blockages etc.

I've never used it, but I thought it was corrosive to aluminum and accordink to wikipedia I was correct: "corrosive to aluminum, importantly aluminum parts in engine fuel-intake systems"

well i had my meth in my washer tank and that all got a direct hit in my crash, and there were no fires etc. resulting.

i would have a 'pump running' light and a 'meth low' light at minimum
i also have a purge button that i can check the system anytime i want to verify function other than flooring it and trusting it will activate properly
