Anybody know where I can buy straight methanol in MN? Im done using washer fluid after seeing what its doing to my oil. Thanks, Rob

Search for VP racing fuel vendor in your area or check with any of the semi service centers. Seen some people using the Prestone De-Icer which claims to be about 53% meth. will need to see if it has any propylene glycol in it and amount per volume.(anti-freeze)

Thanks Labonte! I will check them out.

I found the prestone de icer, the ingredients are:
methyl alcohol (67-56-1) ethylene glycol (107-21-1) water (7732-18-5) and silicone copolymer.

What do you think of this, and what do those numbers mean?
Thanks

Are you near Ramsey Minn?

its about 40 mins from me

Find a place that sales propane, the normally keep straight meth on hand. That's where I got mine from. I was about 5 bucks a gallon about a year and a half ago, but I haven't kept up with it since I went with the twins.

those numbers are just the CAS numbers for each chemical. a CAS number is pretty much just a registry of different chemicals. it was started back in the 50s i beleive. so simply put, (67-56-1) is meth's registered number. (107-21-1) is ethylene glycol's...so on and so forth. ethylene glycol is anti-freeze. idk about you, but im not sure if i want anti-freeze or the silicone polymer in my engine. sounds a little sketchy.

I defiantly do not want that in my engine. Thanks for clarifying what those numbers mean.

Yeah sorry, about 5 mins after i posted that i found the same article you gave the thread to

yea no problem. i was kind of a nerd in chem class haha.... with all the talk about using windshield washer fluid for injection, i think i would stay clear of it for that reason. i dont have much room to talk considering ive never used it. but i know what i dont want in my engine! i think the best way to do it would be to not cut any corners. just order 100% meth and buy a few gallons of distilled water. it may be more expensive than washer fluid, but cheaper than ruining your oil and eventually your motor.
