Not, it does not mix. I did a test with a small sample.
I have found a Shell product that is suitable for Methanol/Ethanol. I think it is "Advance", but not sure. I will check next time I am in town. I saw the product on the shelf, but failed to write it down. My memory is not as good as it used to be.
