Methanol injectors..

<< The temperature drop depends on the kind of alcohol: the latent heats of 
 vaporization for methanol is 1180 kJ/kg, ethanol is 850... petrol is 
 around 200.  The alcohols also release oxygen when they burn, so they add 
 02 without really taking up much volume.  The boiling points vary for the 
 alcohols, but between the extra, free 02, the cooling and the needed 
 fuel, I really am interested.  The difficulty is in the corrosive 
 properties and the lack of lubrication to the pump  and injectors. 
 Another diy_efi subscriber has been helpful in exploring alcohols.  His 
 suggestion is ethanol with some lubricating additives.  I want to run 
 methanol for the higher heat of vaporization, but i might settle for 
 ethanol.
 
 Sorry I couldn't answer everything. I am just learning myself. >>

Actually, what you said is making me think too...I would really like to learn
more about running with alternative forms fuel or the injection of anything
other than NOS :)
I'm really trying to get some more info on running propane on a turbo
car....anyone done this before?
