I just joined this forum and i'm new to the rc scene but I do know this methanol will only condense into droplet at extremely low tempratures.

Methanols evaporation point is around 75 degrees f and it freezes at -126 degrees f. You can pretty much bet that condensation build up on the inside of a bottle is from the air content inside the bottle from infrared heating.

I use methanol extensively in my occupation and at temprature down to -75 degrees f and I have only scene it condense to droplet at temps below 0 degrees f.

DO NOT get it wrong........ I don't care..... NITRO Fuel will evaporate at a faster rate than METHANOL... We are not talking just one composite... we are talking two ............Methanol will and DOES evaporate at room temps and up to 120 degrees....I do NOT give a rats ass who you are and what you do.......... I see it and so do all the nitro car owners that store fuel,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so blow me
dude, chill, we dont wunna start a flame war over something small, methanol will evaporate at any temp above its freezing point, just very, very slowly, at room temperature it will evaporate with no problem, and then consdense on the isnide of a jug
