Methanol distributors?

**sutyak** · 03-10-2015, 02:07 PM

I run water/meth injection in my car. I'm trying to get away from the washer fluid and heet mix, because the washer fluid leaves dye and other particles in the system over time that will undoubtedly clog it.
I thought I found a source of methanol online, but I'm running into hazmat delivery issues and they won't ship it outside of Florida.
Does anyone know of a fairly local source where I can buy 100% methanol? Preferably in 5 gallon containers. I also prefer not to pay outlandish prices just for a name like VP fuels.

I considered METHFED for a license plate. My wife said no.

There is an rv out in the desert with a younger guy and a bald guy. Tell them Saul sent you.

Friend used to run this from summit. Not sure if you're looking for pure methanol or not though.

That would certainly work. I'm really trying to find pure methanol and mix it myself. There is a HUGE convenience tax being paid by going with anything pre-mixed.

I'll let you know the next time I'm up that way, but I rarely head to PA unless it's for racing, flying, or a computer nerd conference.

VP M1 methanol would be the way to go if you want 100% meth in the tank.

in order to find a dealer, their website says to contact their atlantic distributor.

I sent them an email. I'll post the price when I hear back.
I'd be perfectly happy buying directly from a chemical distributor, such as used for cleaning purposes. Just the label of "race fuel" adds to the price, when 99.xx% methanol is the same thing whether it's used for cleaning or burning.
