 The old story, Methanol must not run lean, but it will work up to 30% rich. Petrol has a leeway of about 3%, leaner than that = holes in pistons, richer means runs upta s**7!
dont follow me i'm probably off line!

I agree, my TM seems to be rich on the meth but has more power than the other Petrol TM's so i will leave it alone. U got meth Jim? I have plenty of 20lt drums if u need one... think cost me about $1.20 per litre as I went halves in a 200 litre late last year and straight away decanted into 20's.

Make sure the 200l is well sealed as methanol attracts moisture out of the air.
