Re: Alcohol question
Tim,
I believe the Napa stuff is Methyl Hydrate which has water in it and not good for racing. You need to run pure Methanol or Ethanol for racing with NO water. Methanol is available from chemical companies as well as VP. The VP stuff is more expensive but comes in lined drums and is always absolutely clean. We never had an issue with VP alcohol.
We used VP M1 and added the additive (M2? I believe). The newer alcohols M5? is more expensive and makes more power but I have heard it can affect fuel pumps and carbs. . . I would stick to the M1 and use the additive.
