Methanol instead of WW

Nomad2000 · 07-10-2002, 12:18 PM

Who is going to try methanol mixture (33% methanol, 67% distilled water) instead of WW?

Me! Me! Oh, please pick me!!!

Meltman is doing it right now.

Some one did an experiment to find out which additive/coolant combinations worked the best for cooling over at the [H]. I think if you searched for methanol, or ethanol, you'd probably find it. Anyhow, the result was basically 82% water, 15% glycol (antifreeze), and 3% WW. Or something like that. If I find it I'll post a link. There was just mass amounts of information and data from his experiment that he posted. Definitely a good read.

The one at the [H] was still there, but all of the images were gone. This one still had it. enjoy!

Yes, Meth is the way to go. Just dont drink it. I know the pretty blue reminds you of koolaid, but you must overcome the temptation.

Ive been running a 33.3 meth and 66.7 water for about 3 months now. Its about time to tear down the system for cleaning, etc, so soon I will have some info about corrosion and such. I did notice that the blue color has faded somewhat from the original windshield washer blue.

I still want clear meth/water mix.
