What ratio do you mix your oil and alcohol to?

I mix mine at 20:1

I wonder if it is nesessary to run it this rich on oil

Do a search on methanol here in this forum, or just look down a few threads for the one titled Methanol?????.

I just did a project on methanol and a few guys came in there with some very good info. I believe you'll find every thing your looking for there.

on the klotz bottle it says between 32:1 and 50:1 chad and johnny have been experimenting betwween those numbers and 50:1 works good the way they are jetted.

but if it will slow that stinkin r down you need to mix it 5:1. he-he

HOLD UP! 32, 40, 50:1 with alky?!!! And people wonder why they melt pistons and blame it on methanol. If you are running alcohol with Klotz Benol, I would suggest a 24:1 mix. Alky doesn't have any lubricating ability in itself like gas does. This is one of many reasons you should mix rich.
