Is any of you guys using methanol instead of ethanol or gas in your engine?

Just been toying with the idea where ethanol is not readily available.

From what I been reading there seems to be mixed views on corrosive properties of methanol being that much different to ethanol. I already run ethanol with no problems, have a components like aeroquip lines bosch 044 pumps and bosch 2kcc injectors and plastic fuel tank.
Energy in BTU per liter is almost half of gas, ethanol is around 65% BTU of gas.
Methanol is also cheaper, I hear they have M85 fuels (85%methanol-15%gas) in countries like China where corn is not so abundant as is in the US.

 

i would also like to hear what ppl think about this.also what the octain of m85 would be vs e85

 

ethanol ron 129 mon116
methanol ron 133 mon105

 

in to c who is using it to..

 

if rules allow, please use methanol over e85, especially if you are able to get a hold of it. if you plan to let the car sit for more than 1 week, just flush out the fuel system. we always run methanol over pump ethanol and the e98 stuff.

 

yep i know 100% is good for a race car but im more intrested in useing it in place of e85 for my mostly street car some weekend track car.

i know our race boatand most of the drag cars i have seen need to be started on race gas but run on 100%methanol/ would mixing 15% gas(like e85) help it start and be better for all around street duty?
