A local gas station is advertising racing fuel and methanol for sale. What is the difference between racing methanol and racing alcohol ?

 

big difference one makes u drive fast and accurate the other makes u drive fast and crazy....lmao j/k....actually there is some difference but i dont think there is much? i think the big difference is the methanol is less polutant than the alcohol but that about it i think not to sure on this subject.

 

methanol is the same thing i used to work in that feild. dont let any body tell you diffrent. make sure you use some top lube in the four strokes.

 

Thank you. It sounds like I can use eithor one in my atv.

 

well, usually, you get more power out of alk. but you have to jet up big time and will probably go through twice as much alcohol than gas.

 

propolaris, I used the top end lube in the 2-stroke as well, and that way you can mix it 32:1 gas/oil ratio and save money on that expensive oil.

 

when u use alcohol, you drive faster, jump farther, and crash harder. not to mention you can't focous [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I already use alcohol. What I was wondering was if methanol was the same thing and if I could use it instead ? I believe this is methanol not corn liqueor gasahol. Any ideas ?

 

when i used to work for a solvent company these speed equipment shops around the fort smith area would have us bring them some methanol, and they would tell ever body it was racing fuel.
