you would look funny jumping up and down on the car on the petrol forcort to mix it in the tank, or is that a good excuse to the poilce, sorry ****stable i was mixing the methanol in the tank, thats why i took the corner like that.
It is a good question as you could pour it straight in and add another 30l of fuel to save you carrying a mixed batch in the boot, just carry the methanol.

Also the movement of filling your tank would be more than enough to mix it in the tank , constant stream would flow very nicely .
And a few roundabouts would help too lol

you can do either.
I carry a small 10ltr metal jerrycan in the boot on longer journeys, when filling calculate how much you will put in, i.e. 20ltrs, pur in meth does (2ltrs) then 18ltrs of fuel.
Luckily when I fill with meth it tends to be either at home with pre-mix from jerrycans or on motorwat service so you can pour in the meth before driving to the pumps.
Just looks like you are filling from a jerrycan (but using a measuring jug lol)

Thats good then , i would rather add it to the tank before filling up than mixing at home etc.
One more question though if for add more than the prescribed amount for instance 1/2 ltr more will it effect the engine ??
You never know if your gonna be spot on in the garage.

shouldnt be too much of a problem.
the way to get it close at the garage is carry a 2ltr measuring jug aswell.
you should be able to judge from your fuel gauge how much fuel you will need (not necessary to fill to the brim) the pour in required amount of meth, then add petrol to make up the correct quantity.
Seems a long way about it, but so far I havent overfilled with either.

As above the best way i think is to add the meth just before filling the tank with petrol.
I only use a 9.1% mix to keep the maths simple. ie 2 litres of Meth then 20 litres of petrol.
You can easily work out from your fuel gauge how much you can put in.

mapped at enginetuner yesterday on 10% methanol and made 354bhp!
very pleased with the service, had a few problems that martyn sorted in no time, big thanks to all the lads at enginetuner.co.uk.
