If its for a water injection system, I've heard people using cheap ass, plastic bottle with the molded handle, brand name is "charcoal filtered", generic vodka.

Not as good but easier to find.

in that case wouldnt 151 be good too?

I don't think thta would work. Vodka and 151 are Ethyl Alcohol which have a completely different molecular structure. Besides 151 is too expensive to put in the car. lol

Thanks fo the info though!

What's an extra carbon between friends? Another one people use is washer fluid. It uses methanol.

I would think your larger concern would have been the sugars and other crap in them.

So you know the chemical breakdown for methanol vs ethanol, but how to deal w/a tweaker neighbor confounds. :confused:

Street smarts, son. Get over there and handle your bidness.

I know that. You forget that at one time I was a biochem major. This is stuff you would learn in general chem with all the non-science majors.

yeah who cares if you pass smog all the time:D

it only matters if you truly pass on the test, and even that can be negotiated around:tup:
