How do I know which one to buy and where from? I need some for when my car is mapped but not sure what I am doing so all help and guidance is appreciated.

 

Jennychem. Handle with care ware gloves don't breath vapours don't drink it & you'll be fine. Disrespect it & you can die from misusing it but plenty of us have used it for years with no problems, it's highly flamible to the point I don't have my phone in my pocket when handling it, it burns with a clear flame so you won't see when you've set your self on fire, but it makes your car go like **** off a shovel. Good luck & welcome to the meth club.

 

You need Virgin grade Methanol.

For small quantities ive used 2 companies, Jennychem works out to £45.60 for 25L including shipping and tax. Ive also used clearwater services and they came out at £29.98 for 20L including delivery and taxes. Ive used both on dyno mapping days and both perform equally good.

If you can find a few other people in your local area that use it then you can buy 205L for around £125 delivered and share it out between you.

 

Go to Jennychem. There are other suppliers selling 'virgin' methanol cheaper but you run the risk of buying a contaminated product.
After a long battle with blocked filters and injectors I discovered a batch of supposedly cheap virgin methanol I bought was contaminated with Toluene which leaves a white deposit on anything it touches.
Treat it as if it was battery acid when you're handling it and you'll be fine.

 

This is all I can find on the jennychem website is this the right stuff or no?

 

I can't find my last invoice from JC, but it should be ok. If in doubt just give them a call and ask them. They sell lots to petrol heads and are used to dealing with questions about suitability of their meth.

 

Yes that's what I use from jenny chem
Love the stuff

 

Thats the correct stuff Chris, From Jennychem it works out at £1.82 per litre. The stuff from clearwater works out at £1.49 per litre and its the same stuff with the same purity etc, myself and many others have used it for some time with no issues. They also sell on ebay to make it easy to purchase.

All reputable suppliers will send you a data test sheet of their chemicals if you ask them.

 

Or if you have a speedway track local to you? Go along catch a race meeting,then go to the spares van after.dont worry too much about handling it,same precautions as petrol really.it does burn clear so be careful and the other thing to be careful of is storage,nowhere too damp! It's hydroscopic which means it's water absorbent. Years ago in speedway we would add a couple of drops of water to soften off the engine when tracks was slick ;-)

 

Ever seen a methanol contact skin burn?
Nothing at all like petrol.

 

^^^
and in most circumstances it's being stored and dispensed in a home area.
Dispense in an open area, avoid splashes, use gloves and long sleeves.
Don't risk unknown health issues in the future.

Cheapest place I know of, less than a £1 a litre

http://www.sidwil.com/catalog/produc...9a659ea54ada63

Or 4 X 25L for £72+ delivery....but they also sell a 205l drum for £77 inc plus delivery

 

Better quality too as its virgin grade 99.95%

http://www.sidwil.com/catalog/produc...9a659ea54ada63

 

Im waiting on a delivered price for 4x25L and asked how much for delivery on a 205l drum too

 

Keep me posted bro, going to need some soon

 

Surely it's cheaper to buy a 205l drum? And I'm sure with these you get a dispensary pump?
Can I store this in back garden in open or best in a shed away from sunlight?

 

Delivery from sidwil for a 205lt is £60-£70 depends on tail lift or not.

 

205l drum is by far the cheapest way, but i used to **** my self every time I opened the drum watching the vapours escape especially when it was less then half full. I'd say it's a bit of a fire hazard 25l drum with a tap on is far safer.

 

Yep roughly the same price busta for 4x25L (£72) and 205L drum (£77)...all come down to storage and if it's gonna be left for a year half full cos as you know it draws in moisture, considering the 25's for ease of use and you can fill them up with petrol for a pre-mix at track days etc

 

No mate,but I do see it handled on a weekly basis..
But all being said? Your right,health and safety should always be a priority

 

 

Good idea, need to see price for delivery on 4x25ltr then, surely should be cheaper as doesn't require truck delivery..

Edit- still £60-£70 for delivery, be cheaper picking it up tbh CH postcode.

 

They quoted me £40 next day tail lift delivery. Would also be the same postage cost for 2 barrels as they will fit on the same pallet.

 

Tight gits, was that over phone quote?
It does say at checkout the the carriers price has increased and they are trying to find a cheaper carrier but as its hazardous it's not easy etc.

Where do you get yours from

 

I'll wait and see what their reply is and let you know, I'll pick it up if it's only Cheshire as I'll be working that way soon no doubt

 

I emailed them not too long ago.



I purchased mine from a local chemical company but their no longer prepared to deliver to me as its not a " proper business address" I can collect but its a pita so will be using sidwill next time.

 

Sidwells is spot on ,
Never collected from them before though as they are based in Wallasey (Liverpool) so a bit far away .

 

Going to order a 25litre drum on Monday am I ok to just dispense it into a normal plastic Jerry can when transporting it and where is the best place to store it is it in cool dry place or no?

 

Always store in a dry place as it is hydroscopic..

 

Will do, is it ok to dispense into a normal Jerry can for when it's transported?
