i run it all the time, have been down to the cost for a holaday and carried 10L with me and the car filled up and that has been fine to last all week.

but if you get caught out and run out of meth, you can still drive the car, but just take it easy. on a meth mapped car that has no meth in, it will run rich

I'll give the tap a shot. How much do Jennychem charge delivery?

The stihl container is the one I use I have to consanly renew the levels as the marker I used keeps fading I find it better to keep this container as I can add each litre as I choose and I wouldn't trust a normal container as you don't know what you use

I found this supplier on ebay offering 5L containers for £5.45 + delivery, which works out more expensive, but a safer option for me. Is this stuff good enough, it's 99.5% pure?

Methanol (Methyl Alcohol) 5L For Biodiesel 99.5% Pure on eBay (end time 08-Dec-09 12:41:51 GMT)

For a 10% mix you'll be putting in more than one bottle per tank, so you'll probably end up buying lots of bottles. You might as well buy in bulk!

Its is 60 litres on a newage.

Full tank:

20% Meth = 12 ltrs

80% V-Power = 48 ltrs


Just get a 2 ltr (makes measuring easier!) empty water bottle and fill away at your heart's content! Its what Charlie and I did at Surrey Rolling Road.....we didn't do too bad....694bhp / 610 lbs torque so it must have worked!!

12 ltrs if you want a full tank i.e. 20% of 60 ltrs. Put in 12 ltrs of meth gives you 48 ltrs space for V-power.

i use to put in

1L meth 9 vpower
2l m, 18 vp
3l m 27 vp
4l m 36 vp

and this all ways worked well for me.

and doing it this way, i could chose how much to put in at a time, when using my seethrough petrol can with 1L marks on the side.

Don't know much about this stuff,but i've thought about it as i'm running a Simtec.
Won't it rot the fuel lines over a long period

What sort of power gains can you get? (on average)
