craig mac Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Folks We, Russell(Wuz) and I have negotiated a wee deal with a local supplier for Air brake anti freeze AKA Methanol. Russell will fill you in on all the technical info etc. i.e all the BS laws etc, re storage and holding. And also the full benefits of using this in your car. Those who are interested in this please PM me regarding the supply etc. Craig
col666 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Can somebody give me a wee low-down on methanol, pros, cons etc Can you stick it in any car or do you need it mapped etc?
RA Dunk Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 think it`s safe to use as an additive like any other octane booster (depending on the ammount used, think andy recommends 10%), but like just about every other mod remap to get the best out of it , im sure somebody with a more of a clue will reply []
cullenmin Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Is it true that methanol helps your emmissions, ie de-cats at MOT time???
craig mac Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 I am not sure about the emmissions tests[*-)] Just off the phone to the supplier and the following is a brief summary.......... The danger with methanol is the BS safety standards and COSHH regs you have to have on your premises for storing it There are countless new laws and by laws, regarding the supply, shipping and storage of Methonal. Many couriers will not carry it now as well. You will probably find that even garages will not have the correct legal requirements for its storage. There have been countless changes of late with COSHH regs etc due to its toxicity and its colourless flame. I know a few HGV Garages now no longer store it on there premises as the regs, paperwork and storage requirements you have to have in place are a mine field and is very expensive to implament. Just a wee heads up folks CraiG
