Default Methonal color

I just bought a five gallon can of methonal. It is 99.9% methonal and is clear in color. The last methonal i used, I got from a friend that was already mixed 50/50 and had a greenish color. What should the color be?

I would like to add a Meth kit to my V-2 kit for safety reasons only(cooler IAT). My tuner recommended windshield washer fluid. Is this an acceptable fluid and any specific brand names to use?

Cool
Just swapped out my old injection system for a Alkycontrol kit to run 100% meth. My "source" stood me up Friday so I have none until next weekend Just stayed out of boost Sunday

You wouldn't BELIEVE all the guys that tell me I'm going to "burn up" my car when the stuff leaks and catches on fire and and the flame is INVISABLE

I have heard one bottle of carquest washerfluid and adding two small bottles of heat product will give you the right formula. However I'm not a chemist and just play it safe and buy the "boost juice". I'm not sure if I would run straight meth. I have heard the 49/51 mix uses the meth for the octane and the water for the cooling properties.

Ya, it happens...if you are using the ww tank make sure you take measures to seal the cap. They will leak in the rear under hard acceleration/launch and you can guess what happens next.
