Default Where do you purchase your Methanol ??

Who do people use to purchase their Methanol ?? Im looking for 25l drums as i dont have space for large barrels and wouldnt use it quick enough.

25L delivered from Jennychem is £45.60 so £1.82 per Litre. (The 205 litre barrel only works out at £0.86 per litre.)

Ive found antother supplier called methanoluk.com but it dosnt state on their site whether or not its virgin grade and nobody answers the phone lines and no reply from email so far.

Need to get some fairly soon if anybody can help..

Cheers

Yep 25l = £25.50
shipping £12.50
total vat £7.60

Total £45.60 = £1.82 per litre

I though this stuff was cheaper than v-power lol, it would seem only if you buy 205 litres at a time now.

Do you need to remap your car to use meth in your fuel?

Without wishing to stir a hornets nest I'm genuinely interested..

Do you go guys tell your insurance company?? If so does it add much the the price??

Do you carry methanol around in your boot??

The page is misleading mate, ive bought some now from jennychem and only certain items are free delivery and Menthanol isnt one of them.

My invoice reads

Methanol 25l = £25.50
48hr shipping = £12.50
Tax = £7.60
Total = £45.60

Its not as cheap as it used to be in 25l

Cheers Jura...I only managed to find one local company that sells it (Methanoluk.com) but they have advised me its not fit for race fuel use because their handling and tanks arnt clean enough.

25L deliverd from jennychem works out at £1.82 per litre so not cheap. If you buy 205L it only works out at £0.86 per litre but i wouldnt use it up quick enough so not really an option unless i can find somebody thats wants to go halves on some...

IMHO you should buy the 205L take what you need and sell the rest on here..also nothing wrong with making abit of profit

I have found another supplier (Bonnymans) if you order direct from their site its £46 delivered but if you order it through amazon its only £36.50 delivered so £1.46 per litre, thats £9.10 cheaper than jennychem.
