Default running m50 fuel blend

im wondering im thinking about running a m50 fuel blend when my car goes on the street, just wondering if a normal flex fuel sensor works with methanol? like it does with ethanol

more about the m50
it's a 50/50 blend of methanol and fuel and it comes to about 105 RON


there are no e85 here so there is this m50 that i can get

Sensor, forum what I understand does not work the same as it does for ethanol even though they are both alcohols

You're getting into a bit of a grey area as stoichiometric is around 6.5:1

yeah but its the best option i think as i can get it of pump, and it's cheaper per liter than 93oct

this blend is just 50% 91oct and 50% methanol

i was just hoping for a simple solution to see its consistency as my megasquirt supports the flex fuel sensor,
