Transporting methanol

Is there a safe and convenient way to transport methanol when taking road trips?

What type of container?

Anything unusual I would need to consider?

Could it be there is a network of people on the forum who would be willing to sell meth as one travels?

If you feel unusually hot, the meth has probably ignited. You might be lucky enough to get a visual confirmation by a blue flame.

Not sure where you're travelling to, but you can always carry windshield washer fluid. It is a mixture of meth and water. Typically only 25-35% though. Water is still a viable option for lowering IAT's and preventing detonation, but you must be tuned for it.

I honestly would just stop and get it when you filled up at the gas station (Wiper solution containing meth mixture) Iv'e been running it for about 5 months with no problem.

I transport it in a "THICK" plastic container when I travel or need some later and store the main bulk in the 5 Gal jug of steel it came in

In the Vette it is in the Washer Fluid Tank for use

Thanks,Matt

Well mine is in the windshield washer tank also, but I think I am going to need more than that on a 3 or 4,000 mile trip.

You can also get denatured alcohol at any hardware store and it works fine. I used that for over a year at 600rwhp until I found a place to buy meth locally.
