Default Storing the car with meth

My assumption is that alcohol won't freeze but getting ready to put the car up for the winter.


Gasoline loses octane over size but any concerns with meth when starting up in the spring?


Most likely will be in a non-freezing garage but figured I'd ask.

No dont do it that stuff is really bad on parts. I am saying if you let it set for any amount of time it will not be good on the metal parts..

The meth sits in there 365 days a year, if its static or moving its still in the system.

Yea don't worry about it. It's no different than fuel.

Give Juno a call on it, then why do they tell you to send the pump back every 2 years to have it rebuild. To me letting this stuff set in the car for 2 r 3 months you are asking for problems...

Robert...I get it. I do...

But the pump comes on and pumps meth on demand right...so the pump does not "have fuel sitting in it" if a car is stored. The meth is in the tank and what little could be left over in the lines to the tank or from the pump.

The pump isn't sitting pressurized.

One concern I would have, if you are using 100% meth and have the car tuned leaning on the meth, is that meth will actually draw in any moisture that may be present, which will dilute the meth a little depending on how well the system is sealed. Now if you're not too aggressively tuned against the meth, then you'll probably be ok.
