What Meth are you running?
Hey guys what meth are you guys running? I know some of you run windshield washer fluid as well. I am trying to look for the most readily available and safest stuff to run with an Alky Injection system.

100%, you can get it at smiley's in mesquite for about $3 a gallon... I have a couple 5 gallon jugs I'll take to fill up then I keep a gallon jug in my rear compartment in case I run low when away from home

I get 55 gallon drums of it from a local oil supplier. Its no name 100% pure methanol. They have a fast burn additive they add to it that supposedly does what it says plus adds some lubricity to it. 55 gallons for $146 delivered.... $2.65 a gallon and works just as good as any other (VP) Methanol myself or my friends have used at a fraction of the price. Has no problems powering 1000hp Meth/93 street cars...
Place is called "Corey Oil", pretty sure they are just local to me though.

Only alky control and 100% meth..I tried m1 and m5 vp stuff,My intake temps would rise..I run renegade 100% meth..I've tested a bunch and this is the best for me spraying twin 15 nozzles.

Ok another question guys. If I got a small fuel cell would that work with the Alky Control kit instead of using the washer bottle? I would like a bit more protection since I road race.

Some interesting info from VP on the use of various blends of Methanol for AIT cooling:

Can M3 or M5 be used with a methanol injection kit?
I'd use regular methanol like VP's M1 for the injection. This is what I personally use. All you are using the injection for is to cool the air charge. This is how you get more power, because you can add more timing or boost with a cooler charge. M3 has a hydrocarbon in it and won't pull the heat like M1. M5 has a hydrocarbon and a combustion additive. I would definitely not use this. It could have bad results by combusting in the air inlet tube between the turbo and the throttle body. M1 is your best choice.
