Methanol injectors..

[Robert Harris]

Even in the RV shops its only a buck and quarter, so maybe 
you are not really looking around.( Los Angles area)  Also, use
a removable barby type tank and don't run your mouth about it being used as
a motor fuel and you save a bunch.  Since propane is used as a major fuel
on farms that don't have natural gas run out to the boonies, you might
check farm stuff suppliers.


Second, consider that a anti-detonant needs to run only at WOT and only as
a percent of total fuel.  Cheap source of small tanks
that can be easily worked with is the 5 to 15 gallon fork lift tanks with
both liquid and vapor outlets.  Pop it out and have it filled like
the barby tank.  Just a thought.

If the first ingredient ain't Habanero, then the rest don't matter.
