Alcohol fueled
#7
I am no expert but as I understand it there are two types of alcohol used in racing METHanol and ethanol (as in e85)
both of which are commonly used in our cars
When people say they are running their cars on alcohol I believe that is straight methanol is that what your trying to do??

I know the one in mansfield stopped caring it. I ran it on my Mustang. I am not sure if the one in Crowley still sales it. I have a buddy that runs it and is down there. I guess I could just ask him. I hate not being able to find it. I really want to do it when I redo the engine on my balt, but I am afraid it will all be gone by then.

Heck we have more popping up every day here. But we also have 2 ethanol plants within 50 miles. One is just a few miles from my work and is right across from the Ignite racing ethanol main blending station.

if your talking about alcohal/methonal aka whats used in a lot of high hp applications your in for a treat. just like e85 it requires double the fueling, special rings, lines, pumps, regulators and so forth.
it runs colder and can ice up..... if you dont know a whole lot about it dont even bother attempting it.
