Meth injection question
Hey everyone recently just out my car on meth and I'm using a 40/60 mix of water meth. It's a mixture of a winter windshield washer fluid and some pure methanol to up the meth percentage.
The car got tuned and runs amazing now with it but the windshield washer fluid is hard to find. So I want to go with a different one that's a little more common.
My question is which ingredients or additives do I need to avoid when looking at the msd sheets? Any info would be helpful please and thanks

Im really not understanding why straight methanol. Doesnt water have good cooling properties as well? Also one should have threaded stainless steel lines or something better than the push loc fittings that come with most kits, right?

Mixing like you do works fine. Been doing the same for years.

Cooling is only half of the equation Meth increases the Octane reducing the possibility of Knock. This greatly depends on the tune you have for your car, to max HP the tuners depends on both the Octane boost and cooling properties of 100% Meth.

Why not mix it yourself? Use distilled water and meth, "50/50 mix" is by weight not volume. So it's in the neighborhood of 57% meth to 43% water per gal or 73 oz meth and 55 oz of water.
or like schpenxel said just run 100% meth

go with the AIS system with stainless lines and stand alone fuel tank so you wont have plastic leaking lines and leaking plastic window washer reservoir being used as a fuel cell.run 100% methanol
