What methanol does to aluminum in only a couple of weeks. Do not use aluminum tubing in a menthol fuel system. Use AN line and anodized aluminum AN or SS fittings. This yellow snot gets in the fuel injectors and gums them up. Paul Lamar



Paul,
I suspect that the water that is in the methanol is reacting with the
aluminum and methanol. It is almost impossible to get 100% water free
alcohol by ordinary methods.

I don't recall plain water does that to aluminum Bill.
There is 4 oz of castrol oil per gallon in the methanol.
