Re: Methanol
Hi Ronnie,
used to use it when speedway-ing, have had a couple of sprintcar guys reporting metal shavings in bottoms of drums on a couple of occasions,
also be careful with batches/dates, otherwise OK!

Re: Methanol
i was inthe pits after a motorcycle speedway meeting and the guys were draining the fuel tanks back into drums . I couldnt believe that they wernt running it through a filter at least .You have to start somewhere and all little things add up .

Re: Methanol
recochem are suppliers of industrial solvents (diggers) and while probably OK I would think not a designed race fuel
Re: Methanol
Yup, after some resurch that's the conclushion I came too also,, thay only seem to mention Speedway use as an afterthought,, however a successful well known salt racer contacted me, he uses it with a percentage of Acetone added
