Also, even if it was "100%" ethanol, it wouldn't be. Ethanol forms an azeotrope with water and can't be distilled to 100% purity, ever. But that's honestly splitting hairs.


But back on topic... Don't wanna use ethanol, though im sure the effects would be similar. Lab methanol is expensive. Boost juice is sort of expensive. Does the antifreeze have other additives in it? Or is it really just methanol and water? I just don't wanna have any other random ingredients making their way into my engine!

Distilled water is expensive. Bottled water has minerals in it. Water distillers are expensive. Don't wanna steal gallons of DI water from the labs I have access to. What to do... (ps it would really help to know how often I should expect to have to refill! Hint hint)
I've read on here that a gallon of meth will last about 4-5 minutes of WOT. I can't say for sure though, might be a question for Terry. I just got my kit on a couple weeks ago and haven't burned up enough to really figure out how fast it gets used up.
