RE: Where to buy methanol
I got mine from PKS Kart Shop here in my town. It's a go-kart performance shop and they have them nationwide, not sure exactly where but if you have a kart shop or speed shop they should have them. You really don't save to much money if any at all on making your own fuel.
Methanol for a gallon is $3.** and like 30-50 cents. Cant recall the exact exact amount. Then getting a quart of Blenzol or any quality oil cost me $9.
So I spent $12 pretty much to make my own fuel[&:]. I know you can buy FAI 0% nitro for $10.99 and even cheaper if you buy a case ofr 4 gallon case.

RE: Where to buy methanol
I own a methanol burning racecar in virginia-We buy our fuel at a chemical company 55 gallons at a time for a little less than $2.00 a gallon. I don't know what the minimum purchase is-The point being methanol is sold at chemical suppliers, check out that possibility in your area

I found it!!!!! After a week of phone calls and hours on the net, hours of talking to people, I found a place that sells it. 15.95 for 5 gallons! 4-5$ a gallon compared to 16$ a gallon for fuel. Yes!!!

I think that 0% nitro means that he does not plan to use nitro at all.
Check with chemicalplants(those who manufacture washing liquids etc...) for the methanol, they are the only one manufacturing it.
