I am talking about replacing ethanol currently found in gasoline blends, not running straight methanol, but I do appreciate the input. Also, Didn't you post earlier about having to flush the system after every race? That would be a tremendous PITA to perform that task after getting home from work.
What I seek to accomplish is allow an engine, made of a specific metal or alloy, to run off a blend of gasoline and methanol, without having ethanol at all, and without breaking down like aluminum and titanium do! It has to be able to be had from a pump, and it has to be able to replace E10 and E15 gasoline (M5 or M10 perhaps?).
I understand that racers use nitro-methanol blends and retard the b-jesus out of them (Isn't it like 55 degrees BTDC?). I want it to be a daily-driver, easy to maintain kind of a car. Thanks for the replies and keep them coming, I love the thought provoking discussions.
