Yep, i just read the wikepedia, a breathing mask and rubber gloves i think when i mix it. (and i certainly wont be hung over)

 

either way works, i tend to mix in jerry can 1st as i use a splash of NF aswell.

 

Bugger, i thought i could carry a tankful ( how ever many litres of methanol ) in the boot of the car and when filling up could just add it to the tank !!!!

Dont want to be carrying a jerry can everywhere i go

you would look funny jumping up and down on the car on the petrol forcort to mix it in the tank, or is that a good excuse to the poilce, sorry ****stable i was mixing the methanol in the tank, thats why i took the corner like that.

It is a good question as you could pour it straight in and add another 30l of fuel to save you carrying a mixed batch in the boot, just carry the methanol.

 

See you see where i am coming from, at track meets i dont mind mixing it before but on the road i really dont want a jerry can in the boot lol
Also the movement of filling your tank would be more than enough to mix it in the tank , constant stream would flow very nicely .

And a few roundabouts would help too lol

 

you can do either.

I carry a small 10ltr metal jerrycan in the boot on longer journeys, when filling calculate how much you will put in, i.e. 20ltrs, pur in meth does (2ltrs) then 18ltrs of fuel.

Luckily when I fill with meth it tends to be either at home with pre-mix from jerrycans or on motorwat service so you can pour in the meth before driving to the pumps.

Just looks like you are filling from a jerrycan (but using a measuring jug lol)

 

Thats good then , i would rather add it to the tank before filling up than mixing at home etc.

One more question though if for add more than the prescribed amount for instance 1/2 ltr more will it effect the engine ??

You never know if your gonna be spot on in the garage.


tony

 

shouldnt be too much of a problem.

the way to get it close at the garage is carry a 2ltr measuring jug aswell.

you should be able to judge from your fuel gauge how much fuel you will need (not necessary to fill to the brim) the pour in required amount of meth, then add petrol to make up the correct quantity.

Seems a long way about it, but so far I havent overfilled with either.

 

Think ill be asking my friendly mapper if the ecutec allows for two maps , think i read it can now but will be nice to run a v power map and a methanol/v power map

and jennychem is just up the road and 27.50 for 25 ltrs drums



cheers for all the help

 

not sure if ecutek is 2 different maps, but dont quote me.

 

Just lookied on the website and it says you can !!!!!!!


tony

 

sorted then, go & see jenny lol

 

Lol when i phoned she sounded very nice too

 

we need pics

 

As above the best way i think is to add the meth just before filling the tank with petrol.

I only use a 9.1% mix to keep the maths simple. ie 2 litres of Meth then 20 litres of petrol.

You can easily work out from your fuel gauge how much you can put in.

 

quick update!
mapped at enginetuner yesterday on 10% methanol and made 354bhp!
very pleased with the service, had a few problems that martyn sorted in no time, big thanks to all the lads at enginetuner.co.uk.

 

nice results steve, see you sunday.


shall we have a meth area? lol

 

kevs sti8 made nearly 460bhp on it!!!!
should be there sunday, hopefully with some enginetuner stickers down the side!

 

you ordered them or is martyn sorting them out?

kev's is similar spec to mine i think.

 

martyn ordered them, i know the guys at the sign dept so hopefully i can get them fitted in time for sunday?!

kevs has a aps front mount, i think thats the only difference? i am seriously considering a sti8 myself, with a simtec of course

 

think the aps front mount and 3 1/2" exhaust are the differences.
