I forget my mixture from time to time so I test it out before putting it in the car. the first you will barely see a flame which is probably less then a 50/50 and the second one is a pretty big flame which is probably around 75/25
ive had this meth for almost a year now and its still very flammable
edit: yes i was bored

50/50 does seem much safer! :)
i put the 2nd one which is 75/25 in my car :DQuote:

Sadly the 2 barrels I have left are mixed already. One was mixed in with boost juice when it was almost empty so the mixture should be like a 65/35 or a little more and the other 5 gallon barrel has about 1 gallon of water in it.Quote:

The max boost with active Autotune was the same as last year on the same meth/water mixture and the same fuel. It seems to safe to conclude meth/water mixture can be stored for many months without degrading.
Interesting, well, people like to talk...Quote:

do it! ive done it. i have a barrel that i refilled with boost juice when i had a little meth left in itQuote:

If you are using pure meth to power your racecar, it would definitely be an issue. I guess it would lose flamability if it obsorbed water, so maybe that's what they were talking about?Quote:

cool vid though ;) i run 90/10 in the washer fluid tank
Methanol absorbs water.
Wikpedia
Methanol is hygroscopic, it will absorb water vapor directly from the atmosphere. Because absorbed water dilutes the fuel value of the methanol (although, it suppresses engine knock), and may cause phase separation of methanol-gasoline blends, containers of methanol fuels must be kept tightly sealed.
Thank you for clearing that up.Quote:
