I buy it by the gallon and get it prime in a couple days but I'm sure they have larger sizes. The hobby stores carry it for the radio controlled race cars. I like to have it fresh as the stuff sucks up moisture...and it's cheap!

I got one of those VP fuel jugs in yesterday.. I'll never use the cheap'o walmart red cans anymore. This thing is a beast in comparison.. way way thicker.. I don't feel like I'm about to strip the threads every time I tighten it. In fact, I'm more worried about getting it too tight and not being able to get it back off it's so strong, lol

Could you point me in the right direction on where you get it on Amazon? Everything I've found on there is more than just buying it direct from VP

Your sig says Miami Beach. Believe there's a Murrays on 441 that sells it.

Call the VP distributor in Ft lauderdale and ask for dealers in Miami/Miami Beach. They will tell you who has it.

I don't know if the track County Line sells at the pumps either as another place.

I wanted to add.. I buy a 1 gallon red gas can from the hardware store.. and then transfer from the 5 gallon pail to the 1 gallon. Makes filling a whole lot easier. Some guys use an old windshield washer fluid gallon jug.. plastics and meth are no problems

I have 2 of these that I use for meth and I have the spout that screws into the lid... I just pour it directly into my washer tank and I also keep a 2 gallon jug in the rear compartment in case I run out on the street

What are you meth users using for windshield wiper fluid?

I can't fathom not having the ability to use the windshield wiper fluid and do not anticipate only driving the vette when the weather is perfect. For me, using the rear cubbies to store meth is out (subwoofer in one cubby and tools / compressor in another).

Can the meth be used as windshield wiper fluid? If I went meth would I be better off mixing windshield wiper fluid with heat?

Here is what I purchased last time. Looks like it went up by a few bucks but still free shipping. Maybe VP is still cheaper with shipping when you buy the 5 gallon size.

Works great to clean windows. Washer pump still in there. Window washer fluid is typically about 50/50 meth water anyways.

Most washer fluid does contain some methanol, but it's a fairly low amount in most cases. Even a pretty potent winter formula like Prestone De-icer only lists 15-40% methanol on the MSDS.

I'm sure pure methanol would work fine to clean the windshield if needed, but I'd be worried about long term damage to the paint or trim parts. At a minimum, it'll strip the wax off the paint. I could see it not being too friendly to rubber parts though.

I unplugged the washer pump on both my C6 builds, but left everything else as it was. I can live without washer fluid, but I live in a nice climate and it's not my DD. Glass cleaner and microfibers keep my glass much cleaner anyway, and that's one of my pet peeves.

Oh, and ECS does sell an auxiliary washer tank for customers who want functional washers.
