Methanol Prices and experiences
Well I thought I would start up a new thread to see if we can all compare and gain from other peoples experiences
Currently looking for an alternative source of a 205L barrel delivered.
These are the prices I have up to press:
Jennychem delivered inc vat £177 (includes pump)
Bonnymans "____________" £140
Trinity Research ebay "___" £140
DT Chemicals "__________" £134
I believe you can get a 205L 99.95% Virgin Methanol for as little as £65 collected, yet to find a source!

I stopped using trinity research as they started adding a die which dropped out during the bio process.
It was to stop people like us using it.
I noticed the difference in colour and quality.
Do they still do this?

Trinity
I have also used trinity, on ebay it is 34.50 for 25litres delivered if you just want to experiment. I am using a 10% mix with the standard unleaded in a non turbo 2 litre sport. Getting same mileage as acetone at 100mls / 40 litres around 31mpg.
Trinity need your contact number for the delivery, have ordered twice now, 25L then 50L delivered in 3 days!
There is supposedly a disclaimer from Subaru about using more than 10% methanol, I remember reading it somewhere!

I'm surprised Subaru every recommend using 10%?!

that would be quite unproffesional on the companys parts to let some1 drive off with it without an adr liscence and a bit stupid on the buyers part imagine the fine the company would get if you were to have an accident with it in your boot causing an exsplosion,worth the risk to save a few quid?

but yeah im sure, you need an adr to transport combustable fuels
its maybe not a bad idea - you might learn a bit, along with legislation. then atleast if youget stopped, your not gony get fined

Dont assume, your point was it could cause an explosion in the boot, well so can petrol if you have the same accident....

you may well use it but i think you need to look it up and do some research im not having a go at you but it is nothing like petrol,of which does not require a liscence to carry although methanol does!with a careless attitude that your displaying things could end in disaster,good luck fella

how on earth will carrying 5lt of meth suddenly require me to get a special licence to stop my car from blowing up? If your talking about carrying 100's of ltrs then yes you should have a special licence.
I have researched it extensively including reading all the relevant Material Safety Sheets, i know what iam dealing with, id be surprised if you do however.
What your talking about is frankly a load of bullcrap and so far i cant see that you have contributed anything to the OP.
To answer the OP , i use bonneymans and always have found them helpfull, the 1st time i ordered i did choose to buy the siphon pump to make things easier, think it added another £15 to the total.

who said anything about 5 ltrs? im talking about picking up a large amount from the supplier? hmm if you,ve researched like you say then why your 1st post saying you dont see a difference in carrying petrol or meths? you should know the difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#26
because from a viewpoint of 5-10lt there isnt much, ofc i agree with you if you meant hundreds of ltrs, but i doubt thats even a viable option since which company in their right mind would do that.
#27
ok im thinking we,ve got our wires crossed yes if its in a 5ltr fuel can then i doubt very much anything would happen,i was refering to a post above saying that its cheaper if you pick it up by the barrel (the post has been removed) all i was saying was you need a liscence to pick it up from the likes of trinity ect and if they were to let you take it without and you got caught then some1 would be in the ****!
#29
yeah sorry m8 i didnt realise the post had gone either it must of seemed strange why i posted up (you shouldnt be able to pick up meths without a liscence) i the same as you carry a jerry can of meth in the boot this was,nt what i was talking about,cheers fella

Just out of interest, has anybody tried setting fire to methanol? I know which I would prefer to have in the boot, and its not petrol
Go on to wikipedia and look at petrol, then look at each indivudual chemical that goes into making petrol, then look at all the effects each chemical has on the human body and digest.
Then do the same with methanol.
Imo, methanol is a far safer chemical then petrol, its just nearly everbody uses petrol all the time and therefore accept that it is safer than something they know little of.
Methanol isnt as dangerous in anyway as petrol to be honest.
