[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16455088, member: 14133"] Good to hear. I'd love to hear from many more of their personal experiences. Maybe the points you state are not the experience of all, but only some??? Maybe it's not as bad as it sounds? I performed a search on chemical properties (all ethanol blends) and these points pop up now and then. I have seen and heard of many who have had their gas gauge going south within years too. Comment: The hot and cold start issues can be resolved in the tune, so thanks for your comment on the tuner. The couple of points that I really like about methanol that ethanol does not offer are these: 1) Only used when needed, 2) Lowers intake air temps, 3) A 200+ degree drop in exhaust temps & 4) No reduction in gas mileage. When I combine it with distilled water, it's truly amazing at how clean the combustion chamber remains. My mechanic pulled apart my 110k small block Chevy that I ran a methanol / water mix on and the chambers were 100 percent spotless and looked new! When my engine builder took the heads off, he called me and asked me to come over to look. I did. He pointed to the pistons. I said, "Did you clean them?" He said, "No. And look at the valves too. Everything is spotless." Wilie [/QUOTE]
