If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the methenol injection systems use a water/methenol mix. Common over the counter windshield washing fluid is what is recommended for use. Snow makes a highly regarded water injection system and that is what they use.

The best for real Methanol and not denatured alcohol (which does work fine btw) is your local hobby shop that sells Radio controlled Planes, Cars, Helos...Otherwise Denatured alcohol can be foud at Home Depot, Lowes, Wallmart... The best kit IMO is the East Coast Supercharging (ECS) meth injection kit.

Distilled water and Isopropyl alcohol. Thats what I used in the only water injection I have used. Windshield washer fluid is a poor choice, there are no standards on the quality of the water or the percentage of alcohol. Most of the spray nozzles in an injection system have very small openings and junk fluid can clog them. Be sure there is a filter between the tank and spray nozzle
