Default Methanol-sidwil

Trying to buy some virgin grade 99.95% Methanol from sidwil site. Made an account and i click add to cart etc but then keeps going back to login screen? Anyone else have the same problem?

Anyone else recommended any other sites that offer virgin 99.95% grade?

Hmm had a quick google and it said somewhere that the reformed meth 99.85% isn't good?

Unless you're talking about buying 100-1000litres we're talking a few quid that's all, jennychem phoned me the other day £25.50 per 25L and offered free delivery so was £102 for 100L

Sidwil is not worth it unless collecting as delivery charges are very expensive via their couriers (out of their control) I looked in to it already.
Only worth delivery if buying in bulk.
Cheapest delivery is £56.?? Dependant on tail lift or not and residential and businesses adress is also different rates £63 or something

For all in price yes, for purity no.
The merseyside lot are sorted lol as it's easier for them to collect when needed.

I think put them back to back in testing, can't see there being any difference.
If Jenny Chem is good enough for the big boys, then it'll do for me

99.85 vs 99.95% is not a great difference to notice when mapping really.

Sidwil is £139 delivered next day if ordered before 11am for a 210L drum

Jennychem is £189 delivered in a few days...so £50 dearer for the same stuff?

Fair enough not everyone wants a 210L drum but if there are a few of you locally splitting it between you it's worth it IMO

im at sidwils every few weeks for methanol...literally 10 minuites away from mine...regarding differences, my car was mapped 8 weeks ago with jennychems methanol where it made 475bhp with 20% methanol at scoobyclinic....ive used sidwils methanol since the map and took it on a RR up near bolton on saturday gone where it made 485bhp with 440 torque...theres no noticable difference between either methanols when driving...the RR was probably the differences not the quality of methanol.
