So im gonna switch from E85 to Methanol as cant get the E85 anymore.

Just want to check im buying the right stuff as theres very little info about it on the jennychem site. Link below

Cheers

 

Just ring them up and ask, the last time i spoke to someone I got then to supply eight of those 25ltr tubs for the price of the big barrel delivered. Once your in their system they ring you all the time

 

Just looked on the site and its £135 plus for a barrel, thats a cracking price

 

obviously you'd need this mapped in but what mixture do you run? 50/50 petrol mix?

 

I use them, 10% meth mix

 

I used them for 3 years a while back (1 gal container per tank). First class service and product.

Not so good if you do a tour of Scotland and carry 8 gal of methanol around in the car!!
Needed switchable map

 

yea i all ready have switchable maps one v-power and the other +10litres E85 per tank.

Im gonna switch and start using 10Litres methonal per tank with a map tweek to suit ofcourse.

 

20% mix of meths is equivalent to say a 40% mix of e85 so your power is going to jump up

 

cool im gonna stay with the 10 litres simlpy coz i have 10 litre jerry cans etc all set up. so its just a different liquid in them

 

whats the best way to carry methonol plastic or metal can ?

 

be very carefull
this stuff is suplied as a cleaning fluid its had no duty paid for use as road fuel if you get caught using this as a fuel HMCE will nail your *** the same way as they will if your using red diesel

 

Fuel additive

 

try bonnymans for methanol thats where mine came from, £125 for 205 ltrs

Thats a cracking price. I was going to order a barrel from Jennychem tomorrow but seeing that has sort of put me off. Is this as good a quality as what Jennychem sells??

 

I ordered just before the vat rise but that was including delivery charges aswell, worked out at 61.1p a litre. Use it my car and never had any issues seems top notch stuff and came with 5 ltrs of free screenwash too lol

Just done a quick quote again, It's gone up around £12 for the 205 ltr drum

 

When touring I used the 25litre container they came in + lots of 1 gal plastic petrol containers. Day to day I just carried a 1 gal plastic container.

 

Oh it is a very very different liquid indeed.

Metal jerry cans.

Here is some info for you all:

I handle quite a few nasties at work including methonol. Alot of them come in suitable plastic containers right up to 1000 litre IBCs. The right kind of plastic is pretty unreactive with most chemicals. Probably ok to carry in metal cans as its not particualry corrosive as far as I know. Perhaps others have done this and can confrm?

Be bloody careful with it though, small amounts can cause you big prbolems! Get down to your local workwear shop and get some proper chemical safety gloves and some glasses, just aint worth the risk!

 

yep i have metal 10litre cans which i intend to use> have the gloves etc from when i was using E85 as i was very carefull with that also.

 

Thanks guys have ordered from the above link> just got to get it mapped in when it arrives. cheers

 

I got 25lts from them last week, it's still in the bin in the backyard. Might give it a try in the week, just for a look see.

 

cool ive ordered 100 litres 4 x 25 will keep me going for a month or two. although i may like it to much and stop using the v-power only map lol

 

I'm only planning on 5% mix. Trying it instead of OB with Excellium. Got 3/4 tank full of V-Power atm so gonna do some logging on that then fill with Total and meth and log again. See what it says.
