I also just take the meth to the station. Usually take either 4 or 5 lt of meth in a Jerry can and then top up with the required fuel.
Won't damage your paintwork if you spill a bit on it and as long as you wipe it off your skin quickly you'll be fine.

If changing from Meth to VPower map the tank must be rin right down then brimmed & then run down to half full off boost. At this point it should be brimmed again & then run normally. This waters any remaining Meth down before allowing boost. It's a pain, but the only safe way. I nearly always run Meth as switching is frustrating & requires self disciplin

Meth is great stuff. Been using it for a few years on the car now with my SimTek/AlcaTek ECU.
Storing can be tricky if you have kids. Just make sure it's out of the way and kept in a cool area and out of sun light to avoid moisture build up.
I'm a little ****. If I haven't used the 25ltr bottle up with meth in and it's open I simple don't use it after 4 months. I just open a fresh bottle or buy another one. Meth carries water once moisture hits it and losses its affect.
I ALWAYS wear gloves when handling the stuff. It maybe GAY but I'd rather be safe as I tend to have a few ***** on my fingers or cracked skin from typing at a desk allday. lol
In terms of use in the car. I fill x2 5 ltrs cans up prior to my trip to Shell. I've had a few funny looks from people wondering what the hell I'm doing but hey...... Put the 10ltrs in the tank and fill up to the top.
I can't be arsed to work out all the percentages with the ratio. So my method is......long as you have the same fuel in the car (for example V Power) and you fill up with the meth (10ltrs) then fill up to the brim with more v power thats your 18/20% mix. Prior to switching to meth map to the high boost setting I let the fuel and meth mix for a little going through the lines. I normally allow anything between 5-12 miles.
The other way round is I wait for it to hit the fuel light (swith the map to low boost) . Put 15ltrs of pure V power in . Repeat the same once the light comes on again (leaving n low boost map still) then fill up with a full tanks of fuel. In effect this should flush any traces of meth through the pipe lines.
Then if you want to swith back to the meth again.....wait for it to get to the bottom 1/4 of a tank.............10ltrs of meth......fill up.

If you have duel maps, one being vpower and one as a meth map, when youve been running the meth map and then just want to run on vpower, can you not just switch to the vpower map once you've filled the tank with plain as surely what ever is left on the system/tank will be minimal?

Think on your WRX you will be limited by your box,which can break,but this is only lucky draw,some people running 400bhp on wrx box,but some break wrx box at 300bhp
On your WRX not sure if you could have via EcuTek dual maps,via Open source you can have too ALS,Mafless,LC and other stuff on your OE ECU

jennychem is expensive btw, just look for a local place, i found a place by me who does it me for 60p a litre and thast onlt for 25l, if i bought 200l it would be under 50p a l
and use proper rubber gloves not the thin disposable type. i have been told if you do drink it or get alot on you, drink ethanol, apparently the ethanol gets absorbed and stops the methanol being absorbed into your body, worth a try cos youre dead or blind anyway might aswell be blind drunk

I used to run it in mine also.
I found that the lemonade bottles that Lidl sell (that freeway stuff) fit the filler neck perfectly as they were more bullet shaped as opposed the more common brands. I used the same 2L bottles for 3 years and the seals were still perfect.
I used to stick 2L in for every 10L of fuel and mine was running 370bhp with 360 lbs-ft of torque on a 2005 2L sti with the standard injectors and VF35
