I use VP M1. Most people utilize the windshield washer fluid tank as their meth tank. Some opt for the AIS remote tank that fits in the driver side compartment in the hatch.

I buy mine at a local race shop, last time I was there it was a little over $3 a gallon and I also use my washer fluid tank... I removed the washer fluid pump and plugged the hole so the windshield washer squirters no longer work... I use 100% meth, no water mixture

Most use VP M1, which is pure methyl alcohol

M3/M5 have other additives in them

Check around with local atv and cycle shops. VP brand is difficult to find in my area so I'm now using Sunoco methanol which is also 100% pure.

It will be much more expensive ordering online because of shipping a hazardous material.

Best bet is local oil/gas suppliers, because the speed shops just buy it from them and then mark it up.

For example, where AZ people get meth
http://westernstatespetroleum.com/

Or if you are lucky enough places like CPR (local shop) stock it and sell it basically at cost as a service to be nice to customers.

100% methanol from a local speed shop. They sell VP M1 and Sunoco. Used both and they produced the same results. I use the AIS rear tank after the windshield tank started leaking.


To be clear I use the Alky Control kit just a different tank.

Ya we stock it for our customers and sell it for cost since it's a nice service to have and save people the hassle. We do sell alky control kits also.

Funnel. Just pour it straight in using a funnel is far easier.

Funnel cake sounds good.

I transfer it to a 2 gallon gas can then into the washer fluid tank. The meth did seize up the sliding spout on the can so it does effect plastic.

Whatever you use to transfer meth can only have ever been used for meth. Any gas will damage meth pump seals.

Will screw onto a VP style 5 gallon plastic jug, not the 5 gallon jugs meth comes in.

Big funnel is super easy. If you are spilling you have parkensons or something

How did you plumb the trunk tank? Pump in the same location? Thanks

Funnel cake DOES sound good. Think that's the only reason I went to our county fair last time. Now I want some.... damn.



Back on track here... I run nothing but VP M1. I think I pay around $45 for a 5 gallon drum from a local Motorcycle shop. I'm sure I could find no-name stuff cheaper, but I like knowing that the VP guarantees a 99.95% minimum purity.

Hazardous freight charges are a killer if you try to get it shipped to you. Find a local shop that sells VP fuels, and they should be able to source M1 for you. Stay away from M3 or M5. That stuff has additives that aren't supposed to be good for our pumps.
