Default [VA] Hampton Roads Methanol Source

Does anyone know of a source for Methanol, preferably on the Peninsula?

Looking for 5 Gallons or less at a time.

TIA

I have been using blue windshield washer fluid and adding heat to it. Can't remember the exact mix...but there was a thread on it.

Alright, clue me in. If you heat it, does it clean your windows better?












I bet you thought I was serious, didn't you? But Jeff, what are you using it for?

I think that thread was more for a quick fix while traveling. I found a place in Richmond that sells it, I am guessing VASpeed sells it also but I was hoping to find a place closer to home that didn't require a 3 hour trip. My next tune I want it tuned with 100 percent meth.

I am getting into the HP range where I need it to keep the engine from blowing up. The meth will bring down the IAT and I think it brings up the octane level. Sometimes when I come down on it I get a little knocking and instead of playing with the timing and considering future upgrades I need the Meth kit. I sent a message to Ed about the knocking and he said it was time for the kit, he knows what he is doing so it is on order.

Thanks for making me spend more money Ed.
