Methanol is the fuel of choice for most top-level drag engines; however, it does come with some significant downsides and considerations. In this webinar, we’ll cover what you need to know if you’re considering running on this fuel.
In this lesson, we're going to take a look at some of the advantages of using methanol as a fuel, as well as why you might not want to use methanol fuel. In some cases, methanol is even illegal to use not just in a street car but at some race venues. We're also going to take a look at why some setups, drag racers in particular, do not run an intercooler when using methanol fuel, as well as how the target air-fuel ratios and exhaust gas temperatures are different to gasoline and even ethanol fuel blends.

Great information! You can also run methanol as a flex fuel additive just like ethanol. I made a custom flex fuel table that I use on my car to blend in methanol up to 80% by volume where it maxes out the ethanol sensor. I have been doing this for a few years with no issues and typically run a 30-40% blend by volume. You get a lot of the benefits of methanol at low blend concentrations with the benefits of gasoline and better fuel economy than purely methanol. I just made 559whp and 640lbft on an M30 methanol gasoline blend. Cheers !

I was actually looking for information on this. I wonder if it's possible to have a flex fuel setup in where you have 3 different fuels? Petroleum, Ethanol and Methanol. AFAIK the flex fuel sensors don't actually work on detecting the chemicals %, rather the density of liquid or some such method. So I had wondered how people are / if doing this.

for me M100 is cheap~ and local but E85/blends isn't and i have also regular pump85-to-diesel ( including 110LL av-gas but im nowadays building my 🇺🇸 charger 1960-75 hemi not to need to use that anymore 😉 , nitromethane for this engine/me is on special occasions or im serious about winning/ 😭 from braking-something 😂 but it's way too expensive-etc to run normally i just like that 1970 top fuel/crackle-car experience ) fuels but road tripping ( drag-week or family vacation/visiting aka not racing and normal daily driving ) id need to tune for either pump-gas or e85 as my knowledge of whereabouts to buy M100 is limited on the USA 🇺🇸 roadways, and with higher cylinder-PSI's aka 11:1+to-16:1~+boost-TTurbo'd ( also it's a TR6060 swap so it changes how the tune needs to be vs a automatic-727 ) it needs good fuels and good tuning ect so saying there's no reason why mixing E85 or pump-gas/shit-gas and 100M blends is miss leading, and yes M100 whenever i ran my mathematics ( 2018-21~/ after my BBM383-combo died ) for buying parts locally daily activity/drivability it was cheap to drive/operate vs 91~Utah pump and no i have in the past put 5k+ mileage yearly on my car's 😉

Hi wi will try the same after seeing your video about blend m100 with pump gas. But what have you done to fuel lines and du you run the car on straight pump fuel before stand still or is it not necessary when you only at 30-40% m100? Do you change oil more often when you at blend fuel ? Thanks a lot.j

I used to think that usage of spirit fuels provides more energy (mass x energy content x volume) at the end but than I read that high latent heat of vaporization rate cancels it out so the real advantage of spirit fuel is just high octane ratio and cooling intake charge... Overall they don't procuce more energy ( thus power) by chosing them as the type of fuel to be used but just allow to get closer to MBT point the most and this is where more power is coming from.

Hello again, first of all, thank you for the content. I have a question, if you could answer me. I am using 98 octane gasoline and 50/50 methanol water injection, I am using turbo pressure between 2 and 2.5 bar pressure with a compression ratio of 9.75 to 1, now I am with a stoichiometric mixture of 11.5, I could go towards poorer like 12.5? I await your response, thank you. Best regards Goyo

750C Probe placement ? Thickness of probe ? Depth of probe installtion ? Primary I.D. of ex manifold ?

Curious as to why alcohols are more prone to pre ignition than petrol

@charliedaubitz2046 3 ай бұрын

I didn't hear of any mention of the chemical makeup of methanol, CH₃OH, part of methanol is oxygen.

@samtaylor3681 6 ай бұрын

sounds like a great fuel for the daily.

Nah I’ll use that for track uses only

Are these fuel only for drag racing? Is it possible to run methanol or methanol 50:50 nitromethane for circuit racing (assuming if there are no rules prevent that?)

@jrichardson-m9m 10 ай бұрын

You can use them. I wouldn't though, atleast not nitromethane. These fuels are exspensive and you usually don't need the amount of power they can achieve in circuit racing, not to mention the fuel economy loss. Ethanol is a far better option, in my opinion. Methanol used as a blended in on demand fuel is a decent solution for heat/knock control.

Just saw recently you can buy druns of methanol race fuel with a 5% nitro blend. can't remember the brand
