Back in the 60's I ran about 10 gallons of that blue methanol.

I worked for Ashland Oil Company in a gasoline terminal at the time and it was methanol based antifreeze. I bought two 5 gallon cans of it.
My vendor I've been getting methanol from is called Lubrication Technologies. I'm not sure if they're national or just local but they deal with just about every petroleum chemical known to man. According to their catalog, this is their cleaning solvent methanol. They sell methanol fuel they call "dragon" but I don't know if it's the same color or not. It runs fine so I don't care.
