Nope. Comes out of the can this way. I'm sure it should be clear, but its just a slight blue hue, fresh brand new 5 gallon bucket. The company I have been getting my methanol from says its 99.9% pure methanol. No additives like acetone, etc. I'm sure that .1% has to allow for the slight amount of moisture it soaks up during packaging or something of that nature. I have zero complaints with it, anyway..

It may be a dye they add, but its ever so slight.

I have already ran 4 gallons of mixed fuel using this methanol in both my car engines and my airplane engines. They run superb on it. I saw the biggest change in performance in my car engines running my homebrew fuel vs. premixed fuel. Ease of tuning is a night and day difference on my homebrew fuel, 200% better than premix.


I have another vendor I'll be getting methanol from in the future for about $1 a gallon cheaper and I know that stuff is dead clear but thats straight from the refinery.
