I believe Homedepot sells denatured alky in a 5 gal pail.

Used them for years on my turbo Buicks... Work very well and allows pretty high boost on pump gas. I ran 23 psi of boost and 24 degrees of timing in high gear on pump gas in my GN with alcohol injection. "Gaseous Intercooling" is the term coined by Greg Carroll (blowerworks on the Forum)... It really is a clever and excellent way of staving off detonation and allowing more boost with less octane. You can build a kit yourself or buy one of Greg's (or others like SMC), they do work.

PS- And the alky is CHEAP... Denatured, even rubbing, mixed with distilled water, or you can use straight methanol (VP M1). DON'T use wiper fluid as it can cause contaminants and deposits in the system and motor because it isn't pure.
