Alcohol does wonderous things for the various rubber-like parts (o-rings etc) of the fuel system.

yea, good choice...now if you add that NOS stuff with Methanol in it...thats fine...but...straight methanol..definatley pass on that. Just use regular race gas to make about 108 octane...

You want methanol? Go buy a bottle of Heat.
Actually I was working at a gas station and the owner came out to pick up the stuff from the safe and brought his Vette. Through a bottle of heat in it like his machanic told him to do and filled the tank up. Then gave the keys to me and said take it for a ride. He then left and got about 5 minutes away and it died. I went picked him up and it got towed. Ended up the Heat melted all his injectors.
