I was looking at Sinclair 100% Ethanol-free gas 91 octane, and looks like it has 10% Methanol in it. Is that any better than Ethanol or is just as bad or worse?
When I worked at the airport I got all 100ll I wanted. Had to retune my saws though. Now I just regular 87
We put methanol in the fuel in winter to keep it from gelling and for any water in it to keep it from freezing.
Nothing near 10% though! I put maybe a gallon jug in my 500 gallon fuel tank and maybe a cup or two in most fuel tanks.

Yes. Much more corrosive.Methanol is worse than ethanol.

Tree won… brother lived… passenger broke his back but healed and lived. Man that was a badass carI have a 68 RS/SS camaro, rebuilt 370/350 vette motor, > 11:1 compession.
