Use with caution

Used to be used in truck air systems as an anti freeze, but was banned...

It is also used for producing biodiesel via transesterification reaction.

Also, unless you want a seized motor, make sure your oil is methanol friendly (used to be castor oils only, but modern synths available now)

I have a number of books on nitrous, turbos, superchargers, methanol and the like.. also been involved in rebuilding speedway engines
