Ethanol and Methanol Q's

[FoPar]

ill try get some notes i wrote on turbo methanol engines i wrote last year while testing..
droplet size, fuel rate / air fuel ratio , and effects of this fuel rate...
quite interesting really...

sounds good, going methanol with my engine. that shit is new to us.

Old methanol , colors the plugs bad
1 pass

Try this.. Old methanol

Base ring color

Methanol, 36 psi, wedge engine

plug on right, has NO timing mark on the earth strap
plug on left has timing mark, 2mm along the strap, but it stops before the bend

NO base ring colour or cad burnt off , the original cad is still on plug as per new in the box

plug on left went 6.81 @ 204

Your deal willbe different to wedge engines..
Plug placement changes the flame front heaps.

What heads? Water jacket dry?
Water in engine?
U aint got solid heads ?
Iron...


All are tuned differently, with different heat rates cooling from chamber

Plain old distilled water (alone or as methanol mixture, injected at 1/10 of fuel volume) will help produce more boost/more spark advance => improve mileage/power without too much worry about aluminium and rubber parts, engine tune etc.

LPG has better energy than E85, is cheaper and does allow for more boost. Seems like ethanol fuel is only good if there's terrible shortage of traditional fuel

Fuel mileage is not a issue with our stuff...
