It would be a nightmare to drive anywhere as you wopuld need to carry enough with you for each journey. Map on 10% or 20% methanol would be a better option.

*nods* Methanol can be bought duty free too, if youre canny. If you really want to, and you have the ability/sense to deal with the chemical: you can mix up a very potent fuel for not a deal of cost too. Itll give you all of the benefits but for relatively little expense.

Splitpin

Can you give us some idea of the usage scenario of this car? One presumes it's an out and out track car? If so, as has been said there are more cost-effective and practical ways of skinning this particular cat.

If it's a daily driver, yes, you're f'ing mad, for a variety of reasons. Have you ever actually smelt race fuel, for starters?

Not the cheapest route by any means but I have a 12 litre tank of 50 / 50 water and methanol in the boot linked to an aquamist "water" injection system........all mapped by Bob Rawle

The methanol injection only kicks in when on boost so I just fill it with Shell V-Max as normal and top up the tank in the boot with Jennychem's finest when it gets low

i will have a look into the meth/vpower mix i am a solvent technician by trade so wont be to hard at making something work

Saint AAI

E85 and VPower. If you have a pump nearby that sells E85 then this is ideal. If not then Meth as already stated.

Sounds bloody brilliant to me!

A mapped aquamit system won't give the benefits of a methanol fuel mix.

f4la k

iTrader: (1)

Do you mean puting methanol in with the v power. what mix do you use. do i need 2 maps. one for just v power and one for when its mixed.

Yes, probably 10% methanol is best and yes

Methanol injection via an aquamist system gave a sizable increase in torque and BHP

And the Luftwaffe used if for the FW190 (MW50) LOL

I have an aquamist system sitting in my garage, I want to fit it but quite a few mappers tell me not to. I would fit for safety rather than a mapped in system. When I had the aquamist on it would use say 3ltrs in about 100miles and if you forget to top it up your in trouble.

That's a lot of water LOL I use about 10 litres of methanol / water a year

Most of my driving is pootling to and from work so I'm off boost for most of the time and therefore use nothing

same set up here but it was bob own car after all. so i can only assume if he was willing to fit it to his own car and run it countless amounts of times on the drag strip and all over the country mapping cars then it must be a good setup imo.

You price for a 25 litre meth drum is expensive, jennychem do the same for £30 inc post.

Banny

dtchemicals

we don't get many orders for 25 litres but we will beat that for you if you like we will do it for £29 inc delivery

dtchemicals

but if you think about it we are doing 205 litres for £150 your buying 25 litres for £30 so thats £246 per 205 litres nearly £100 more!!!

It was about £37 delivered inc vat from jennychem
205 litre drums were £150+vat delivered with free pump

dtchemicals

I've just spoke to Jenny chem and they charge £27.50 + vat + delivery so this works out to £44!!! like I said I will do it for £29 + vat which is £34 our website price is £42.50 inc vat and delivery so even this is still cheaper but I will honor the quote on this occassion.

dtchemicals

yeah drums are £176 inc vat from jennychem we do them for £150 inc vat if anyone wants one I will do them for £140 inc vat and delivery if you order today
