Can I use Methanol instead of gas.
Is it possible to use methonal in my truck or would I damage it. If not is there anything else that I could use that I could make myself, for example like veg oil thats made into bio diesel. The cost of gas here is gone beyond a joke
thats why I am wondering about the methanol or something like it.
If it gets any more expensive I think I will have to go with just plain old Horse power

Wonder if there would be any performance gains running on alcohol?

My bro in law had a Yamaha Blaster 2 stroke standard shift, it was stretched in the rear and built for racing, only thing else that could have been done for performance was a jet fuel conversion. That would have been awesome! That bastard was FAST!

E-85 conversion kit!
I know alotta folks round hear aren't to fond of ethanol, but I would like to try this someday if money permits. Most likely will sacrifice mileage for cost, so in the end its probably not that economical, but I just like the idea of burning corn grown in the US. Problem is these engines were built to burn gas so its hard to convert to anything else with out extensive modification....
