where can i get a standardized water/methanol mixure that already premixed and ready to go?

 

Someone probably does make it but the cost would mostlikely be more than if you mixed it yourself.
50/50 methanol and distilled water is easy to mix and you would be sure of the mix ratio.
I get methanol through a drycleaning chemical supplier. It's fairly cheap.

 

Supertech -20, windshield washer fluid, it's about 30%meth 70% distilled water. Even if you haven't already bought a water injection kit, look into Devil's Own, WideOpenTuning sell's them at amazing prices.

lol, just orderd two from him, one a while ago, and another today....thats why i'm interested in the mixtures.

 

Yup washer fluid works really well and it's convenient. Personally I am all set with mixing meth and water. If that stuff gets on you it's bad news. At the shop i used to work at, we mostly used denatured alcohol and distilled water. Its safe to mix and on the motors we mostly tuned (STIs) had the most knock reduction with about a 60% water/40% alcohol.

Here is a link to a place that has some MSDS sheets for various windshield washer fluids. There are also some good tips in the paragraphs above the MSDS links.http://www.enginerunup.com/can...2.php

i've found that snow performance offers a ready to order mix, would you be able to tell me where i might be able to find the MSDS for that product? i've emailed them, but no response as yet. i need the MSDS for shipping purposes (Outside US).

I think methanol is too toxic to be dealing with on a daily driver. I always use denatured alky with a 50/50 mix & spraying 20% injector duty with good results.

 

does denatured work like methanol, is it as good?

they both act as a high octane fuel and neither can absorb as much heat as water.

Yeah... don't underestimate h20, it does some cool stuff.

 

"cool stuff"

LOL in progress.

 

yea wodey

 

you can get "boost juice" from http://www.usrallyteam.com/ .I prefer just getting methonal from the track, and mixing it myself (it's the cheapest way. I got 5 gal. the other day for $17). Washer fluid is coveinent, but the dye in it is known to clog the nozzles, and cause inconsistant spray.

 

are there any other alternatives that can be used instead of methanol? any other alcohols?

 

Ethanol - much less toxic and cheaper yet.

 

is methyl alcohol the same as methanol?

yes.
I fount a washer fluid here called extreme blue -20f 35% methanol it says contains methyl alcohol so I seached the word to be sure, and it says methyl is another word for methanol

 

anyone try rubbing alcohol?
