Default Would I up my jet size using methanol in standalone fuel system?

Reason I ask is I have 110 gallons of methanol at my disposal. I was curious if I ran this in my standalone fuel system (250 shot), would I up my jet size from that of gasoline?

not a good idea imo
methanol it not good for a "normal" fuel pump.im not sure the fuel solenoid seals are tolerant of long term methanol use either,it would concern me.

Pumps, reg's, lines ect must be made for alcohol. Another thing you must know exactly what your doing, the jets must be the correct spread for the volume needed to compensate for alcohol. It's not that eazy, be careful.

That's what I was looking for. Thought I might have jetting issues. I'll stick with leaded 110.
