Oh and the last thing, the mixture, I run 55% water (distilled preferably) and 45% methynol, if methynol is hard to come by, ethynol from a paint store is as good. However Snow perf. is offering it premixed for around a buck.
I use 50/50 ethanol and water. Buy some E85 and add distilled water. The gasoline will float to the top. Pour it off and use it in a lanw mower, etc. This should be less than $2 a gallon.

Back to the top for this older thread. So on long trips sounds like you want reasonable capacity? Also sounds like ethanol will work just fine uh, that is good to hear... I have a little Mercedes engine I'll be using it on that is about to be installed into a Toyota pickup. Looking for a little more juice when towing...

What happens if you run out of Water/Meth on the road? Egt's would go up & boost go back down?
Im assuming the truck wouldn't be running to good then as you aren't tuned to run "dry", but if you kept your foot out of it could you still limp home?

Yep, that's how it works. If you want to use water/meth for towing you need a big tank.
