Posted 09/02/11 06:21 AM Share Posted 09/02/11 06:21 AM GO.I personally wouldnt use bio flex for obvious reasons of the ethanol varying between pump to pump day to day. Straight e85 is barley available anywhere. Methanol is cheaper then e85 (205L barrel v 205L barrel) and much more gains can be given on methanol.Which runs cooler? which needs less modifications to handel? Which is safer on the motor? Which is better for tuning etc? Someone else can answer.I confirmed with a police officer that it is impossible for cops to impound/ground/fine you for running methanol and also have no tools etc to even diagnose you are running methanol. Methanol apparently smells like e85 so you just claim it is e85 if anything. EPA is different. I think I heard there is a $1000 fine per cylinder? Never on the spot. Normal 'go to epa location within 28 days' rule applies. So obviously you wouldt rock up there with methanol...Any more info please post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know why it's illegal?It's because it burns clear, you can't tell if it's alight. Eg car stalls so you open bonnet, woof your on fire rolling around on the ground, everyone else is driving past laughing as you look like you are having some sort of elliptic fit. Also you just can't change between methanol and say ultimate. Not sure on E85 weather it has same properties. With Methanol you will need huge injectors, make sure all fuel lines are compatable as well fuel pumps and regulator. Also don't know how factory cats or sensors would cope. There's alot in it and I would not try it unless you are a expert or have very good knowledge of running it. Then on top of that where you going to keep the drum, bugger if I would have it in my shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethanol on the other hand you can drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you cant run a meth setup and change over to petrol, you cant have the 2 set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 09/02/11 10:24 AM Author Share Posted 09/02/11 10:24 AM :D shan01xtr....obviosuly you drain a tank of fuel and swap the tunes between ANY fuel 98/100/e85/meth/etc etc. We push the limits of these cars and tunes as it is, why would you run a cocktail when the car aint tuned for it.And I wasnt refering to running any of the fuels on stock cars. You actually need bigger injectors for e85. Like 1600cc, where as 1000cc's are fine for meth.Im not biast just yet to which fueles, just wanting to point out and learn a few things on the way.
