Post by: Steve Wood on July 04 2015, 06:53:40 PM: Not sure if methanol mist is the stuff that comes from PowerMist or not..but if it is, it probably should not be used for alky injection as it says it has top lube and petroleum products added to it...and that is usually bad for the pumps we use with our alky kits

methy hydrate is another name for methanol

actually, it seems PowerMist offers several alcohol fuels

PREMIUM METHANOL
The ultra PURE methanol you’ve heard about! Exhaustively researched to bring out the maximum power in your motor where tech dictates methanol only. An efficient, consistent, super premium racing methanol delivered at competitive pricing. Superbly suitable for all types of racing in engines requiring a cool, clean burn pattern. Legal for all sanctioning bodies.
HOLESHOT METHANOL
For optimum acceleration and mid range punch, a further refined ultra pure methanol with an added kick. A hybrid product caught in the chemical transition between methanol and methyl terterary butyl ether (MTBE, 4%). Extra oxygenation means extra power! This product lowers specific gravity flow requirements, thus making available a wider range of jetting options. The benefits of Holeshot Methanol over regular methanols are:
• Easier, more consistent jetting
• Cleaner, more efficient combustion
• Passes water test
METHANOL COMPLETE
A COMPLETE racing fuel containing PowerMist’s ultra pure Premium Methanol, ethers, Top Lube and petroleum solvents. All the good stuff for superior power. Available in Lite & Heavy, designed for open fuel competition only, this product delivers:
• Most efficient combustion
• Easiest starting
• Maximum cooling
• Maximum BTU’s of energy
• Maximum Performance
