Cool. That and the dual map would be a blessing. I'll keep my ears to the SN ground for when it arrives.

 

£150 per 210L drum? That's pretty good - 71p per litre. Mmm - maybe I should run the car on 20% methanol; that way I could save at least £4 per fill compared to V-Power and have fun in the process

 

That would be me, i buy it off someone who buys it in 205 litre drums and doesn't mind selling small quantities on, i provide my own 25L drums.

Not sure what he's paying for a 205L drum but he's obivously not selling it to me at a loss.

There's a place in Manchester area selling it for £18.50 for 25L pickup only on ebay.

 

Cheers Dean - I'll check it out

 

That place does not add vat thats why it is so cheap but if he assumes your using it in your car then will add the vat.

Banny

 

He would need to add more than VAT !!!!

 

Think you mean fuel duty, VAT is included as it says a "VAT receipt provided"

Don't tell him/them your going to use it as fuel, your planning on making bio-diesel

 

there is still fuel duty to pay on that though iirc

 

The duty on road fuel is a very high percentage of the total cost, thats why I only use Methanol for cleaning purposes..... pistons, valves, injectors etc

 

now we know.

so like Redex then, cleans the system!

 

Do you have the item number ?.

 

I did'nt think to try methanol as long as it does no damage to the car...

I have loads of the stuff at my work place. Grade A for analytical use in the labs. Should be as pure as it gets.

I'm sure we pay alot more than that at the lab. Maybe £18 a litre.

 

There u go: 330202900164

 

Shady, we have both NF and methanol in stock

 

How much for 25 litres of methanol?

 

interested in costs aswell

 

The problem as I see it is carrying around 5 or 6 litres of the stuff so you can put it in the tank before you add V Power.

 

Get yourself a petrol can, it stores 5 litres and when you fill up pour the meth in first and then tank it up.

Banny

 

That's what I'll be doing. I'll premix the methanol with some NF in a 5L petrol can with graduated litre markings so I can top up 'fractions of a tank' if need be

 

thats what i do (but don't use NF)
I've got a bottle with litre and half litre marks on, and put 1 litre to every 10 litres of fuel, got to be more accurate than just chucking in 5 litres everytime u fill up, plus u don't have to run the car empty which i don't like to do.

 

better go shopping for some fuel cans

 

Fangoria : Steve : Once the concentration of NF exceeds 3 mls/litre it does not appear to have any beneficial effect so pouring in a full bottle of NF at 300 mls is a bit of a waste.
Carrying around methanol, over 5 litres per tank is a PITA and if you are regularly away from home, even more so.

 

so putting in one litre of methanol with every ten litres of petrol? not running at 10% then?

 

1+10 = 9%
1+9 = 10%

 

No as Harvey said 10:1 is around 9%, when i have it mapped for my new setup in a couple of months i think i'm gonna try 10:1.5 which is around 13% and maybe 2 or 3 ml of NF pure litre of fuel aswell.

 

hence my comment

 

Its not that critical, if 1% difference causes an issue then its mapped way too close to the edge !

Andy

 

will remember that

 

NF is most reluctant to mix with 100% Methanol, it mixes ok with a petrol/methanol mix though.

 

so better off with a bigger jerry can with graduated markings.

what is was looking at was to premix a certain amount of v power with the meth & NF to make topping up easier.
