I have not yet started in on racing forums, as I understand they use 100% methanol as fuel, and my interest is using a mix of methanol (up to 50% possibly) in order to avoid making engine modifications while not sacrificing engine life. The idea of the methanol energy economy is way beyond my

In Canada, it is illegal to produce ethanol for fuel without a federal permit, and these are effectively never granted to a home brewer. I have been pondering the idea of using methanol (wood alcohol) as an alternative to ethanol fuel, but have not taken the time to research it. Has somebody
