Alki Types

[SeattleSy#1255]

All i can find around here is denatured alki....i went to a local hobby store mostly for gas remote cars and they have meth like i'm looking for but it also has nitromethane in it .......its something like 80%meth %20nitro both compounds being 99.8%+ pure. Geeez, can i run that combo or is this bad like it sounds? what else do I do as I can't find %100 methanol anywhere. It gets rediculas buying those HEETE bottles for a 1.20 over and over again.

EDIT: what about something like thise place?

Find a local speed shop or go cart supply/race shop.

A lot of the go carts run on meth. Should cost you 2-$3 per gallon.

I buy denatured at home depot, or any paint store.

For meth I have been using HEET.
The MSDS sheet claims it is 99.6% pure meth or something close.

WalMart sells a 4 pack of Heet called 4 to go or something for $2.xx, beats the .99 a bottle.
Meth I can only get in 5 gallons locally, and haven't gone through enough lately to need anymore than 1.2 gal at a time.

Ditto on the Heet for me. All of the parts stores have it too. Can't beat it for the price and the results.

I also use HEET when I can get it cheep. Best time to buy it is right after winter at walmart. It was like .29 cents per bottle. When i ran out i also went to Home Depot and got denatured alky.

Whose kit are you running? If it's Razors use straight methanol.
Here’s a link to the Buick board on sources for methanol.

I have a buddy that runs an altered rail running straight methanol for fuel.
He gets it in a 55-gallon drums. I borrowed 10 gallons this summer and only use 5 gallons tuning this year.
