ethanol in gas?
my 97 plymouth neon has 202000 miles on it and its in relatively in good condition. what would happen if i put some stuff thats 95% methyl alcohol into my gas tank. would it cause any big problems?

i used to have a 95 mitsubishi galant 2.4 and i used to work offshore and i would get gallons of 100% methanol (liquid methane, and alcohol) and i would put about 12 oz in with a tank of gas and it worked pretty good it cleaned the fuel lines and injectors and also rids any water you might have in the gas. i also used this in my 79 pontiac trans am with a 6.6ltr 455 only i would add a gallon in with a tank and not only did it clean everything it boosted hp and shot pretty blue flames out the exaust

HAHAHAHAHA my friend Ethanol is corn alcahol. Alachol absorbs water thats why flex fuel parts cost so much more. Methanol is another form of alcohol. Therefore it is water absorbant. Another thing, ethanol doesn't have the same potential chemical energy as gasoline. So I would have to say that is a lie.

no its not a lie im being completly honest actucally they use a form of methanol in top fuel drag cars it burns quite nicely although during the day time u cant see the flame if burned alone and i did use it in my car and had no problems i wouldnt recommend using too much however because it will dry your seals and gaskets out and that can get pretty costly but if your engine is set up to use alcohol fuel you can us as much as u want
