Default Substuting Methanol for Denatured Alcohol

I don't know if if it has been tried or not but has anyone used denatured alcohol (that's Ethanol with a little methanol... to make it so we can't drink it) as their main fuel source in their engines [X(]. I had the idea for it since its cheaper to get denatured alcohol than it is rc car fuel (as it is I plan to not run with nitro anyway) so anyone got a say on this! [&:] I am pretty sure it should work, just bump the oil content up, and you should be fine but, its always better to be safe than sorry
