These tips and tricks apply to anyone running methanol, awesome job. The filter info is EXTREMELY helpful to someone running Mechanical injection. Plugged nozzle = burned piston

Appreciate this video Thanks! I've been looking at material choices for a custom water/methanol tank and had been looking at 316L stainless as my only option, but I will now investigate aluminium anodised...

Great video Devin. On my car which I run methanol also I actually have my pump mounted behind the front passenger seat next to the frame rail. Haven't had any issues with fuel starvation. I also run a filter before the pumpbut after watching your video there I might remove it. I do run a 10 micron filter after the pump. That's a good tip there to put a ball valve in the vent hose.Oh as far as the oil goes I've been using Lucas 50 weight and haven't had any methanol contamination yet. I heard that Brad Penn is very good. The top lube is definitely a must. I also heard from a couple of friends that you should not put tight 90 degree elbows anywhere between the fuel cell and the pump.

Always great info. Hope you feel better soon.

thanks bud

Good tips man thanks for the info!!

Can you make a video about m5 and tuning changes from m1? Thankz

Legit everything I wanted to ask lol thank you so much

Holy cow I'm In way over my head. Was thinking about buying a 416 stroker Silverado that is set up for running methanol but damn sounds like I need to stick to my stock daily driver until I learn more. Either way I enjoyed the video I learned a little as much as possible with my limited knowledge

Great info, thank you!

Great stuff, thanks

Awesome video. Thanks for explaining and covering a lot of the questions I have, but have never asked anyone.

Great content!!!!

Good idea on the oil pan heater, completely forgot about that part! Would you ever do the fuel transition from gas to meth if you had the proper tank/ pump for the different setups? That's been one of the biggest things I've wanted to do but never see anyone do meth and gas....just eth and gas

Nice build keep it vadum

Hey Devin, great videos! Shadyside racer here, 436 sbf 94mm on methanol, what oil temp would you start the motor at with the heater blanket to kill some of the moisture? And how often would do oil changes? Hope to meet you one day, you're very knowledgeable!

Great Information, I had nothing but problems with BA injectors. What's your opinion with filling / running it on 93 before storing it for short time 1 or 2 wks at a time.

Buy yourself a "one of these pumps " That was funny as hell.

When you switch between your fuels is there a certain cleaning procedure you do in order to not have any fuels mixed?. Is it as simple as drain the cell of alcohol then fill up with 93 and you’ll be fine?

do you drain the tank and lines and clean them all first before putting pump gas? or you just put straight pump gas?

Any EFI tuning tips for methanol? I’ve been running a bracket car with toilet injection for some years, and would like to try out EFI. Was looking at starting with a Holley Super Sniper setup with my belt drive pump.

Hey bro, so I just finished my engine and twin turbo kit install in my 2001 mustang gt, engine is in turbos are in. Just finished the return full fore innovations fuel system has a 10an feed and a 8an return anyways I want to purchase a Holley terminator set up wondering what to even buy and ya, I know my car is gonna make well over 1200hp min, twin 67/66 turbos. Mmr 4.75 stroker engine built off a teksid block 9.5.1 compression ratio, gonna do a 93 tune then a e85 tune also has water meth kit. The engine was actually taken all apart and I replaced pistons and rods and kept the crank since the crank is able to push up to 1500hp!!, went with custom made diamond pistons and are capable to handle 2000hp rods I went with some strong boostline rods. Was going to go Manley i bean but I think the weisco boostline is a 2000hp rod!

Awesome

Thanks for the information Devin,are you going to piedmont this weekend

Man just found your channel and man you got some great tips, do you just pour the bottle of top lube into a fresh drum of meth when you get it.

What about vr1 is that good oil?

Do you offer services of switching cars over to meth ? Is this something you do ?

Can someone give me a part number on that fuel pump drive cable ?

Are there any drawbacks to running a stainless steel fuel cell in lieu of aluminum? Would that eliminate the need to coat the inside of the tank as you mentioned?

nope besides weight but youll want to anodize the fuel rails as well

Believe it or not I used Rotella HD oil for years because of the zinc content it has and it cheaper

What about the oxygen in the fuel

What Intake is this ?

Just found you too Consider me subscribed That’s a ton of great info there!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!

How often do you have to service the cable in that cable drive application? Is it possible to pull the inner cable out to service it while the outer part is still routed through the car?

yearly you just slide it out of the jacket and lube it with grease and slide it back in

Do you still recommend Brad Penn now that it's called Penngrade. I've been hearing that it doesn't work well with methanol since it's changed.

I've been using Schaeffer's for a while and am very happy with it

An example of 10 Micron size is a red blood cell. Most are a paper filter in that size. I use a ss steel, it's 50 micron.

Do you run methanol with electronic fuel injection?

Why do you recommend no filter before the fuel pump? Companies like aeromotive recommend a 100 micron before and 10 micron after.

On electric pumps yeah on mechanical pumps I've never ran one pre pump. Mechanical pumps dont do well with trying to pull vacuum

Is the top lube for lubricating the injectors?

yeh and pump

Why don't these higher end drag cars use electric fuel pumps? Seems like alot of hassle for that cable driven setup.

There isnt a big enough electric fuel pump on the market to supply the volume needed for methanol

What makes you think that the crystals that form have any external oxygen required? Given anodise is aluminium oxide, the oxygen is already there.. Why do you think lifting a sealed tank off the floor prevents water from getting in? Sealed is sealed, no water is going to get it whether its cold and damp on the outside or not.. seems like a lot of things you are doing are based less on science than just something you are assuming works, you haven't had any issues with so continue to do - but I feel like a lot of it is unnecessary or work for a different reason than you think. Also, welding grade alloy sheet doesn't anodise well so I wouldn't assume your local shop is shit, more that the decorative quality of anodising on sheet alloy is not great. Functionally, fine, but not great looking.

It seems like a lot less trouble to just drain the methanol and run gasoline through the system.

Hey, what intake is that?

So many myths busted in this video....

This looks too complicated

You got one of those crappy TKM motors do you have to run Rotella in it to stop it from knocking you know that company gets there motors from junkyards a $9k 427 6.0L ready to go that’s super cheap just a 427 dart iron block is like $8k, your running slightly refresher junkyard crap CJRC is the company that sells these piece of shit motors
