Default Alky Injection ???

Couple of things. Got my kit from ECS and beginning the install before C5/6 bash. What is the ratio of fill ups on the gas tank and the alky tank. Trying to figure how far I will be able to go between fill ups on the washer tank. Also which is better to run, Methanol or Denatured Alky?? Just thinking I could probably carry a little denatured in the back. But it would depend on the performance differences and how often I will need to fill up. Most of the driving is 2 to 4 hours, but trip to BG is about 8 hrs one way.

The pump is boost referenced. So on a long drive if your not in the boost, it will last a long time.

I'm driving to BG from Cary for the C5/C6 bash which is a little better than 9hrs. I hope to carry some suppliments in the back, but I'm not too worried as I will just keep my foot out of the boost.

Generally it is two tanks of gas to one alky fill, although staight highway driving is usually out of boost so it should be next to none.
