Cone Solvents-Meth?

Hey guys so the only meth I can find here in Nashville is this- and it is by Cone Solevent and they call it Methyl Alcohol. Anyone know about this? They said it is something like 99% meth.

My suggestion is to try to stick to something automotive-grade. It insures against particulates that could potentially clog your meth nozzle. Same reason I shiver when people run paint thinner as an octane booster. Yes, it works. But it's not really meant for fuel injection systems. Especially on DI fuel injectors.

Go to VPRacing.com and look for a local dealer. If you can get race gas from someone, you can also get methanol from them. But it's probably a special order item unless you start picking it up regularly.

But chances are, you can call any performance-specialized auto parts store and they will tell you where/how to get it.

Email or call the regional office (you are considered midwest) and they will tell you what shops have it. I found 2 within 10 minutes of my house by contacting my regional office.

The places I go do not have the sealed 5 gallon drums because shipping is too much. They store 54 gallon drums and pump it into a 5 gallon container I bring with me.

Thanks-they are closed but I will try tom. Thanks for all the help- I doubt I can return the meth but will prob get some VP M1. I actually got this from a race shop so I thought it would be fine.

Well I called Cone Solvents and talked to them about their meth. They said that it was the highest purity-he said 99.7. He said many racing teams use their meth and people use it for a bunch of things but he said a majority use it for racing.

The website is http://www.conesolvents.com/

There is a place a hour and a half away I guess I could go to that has VP Meth.

99.7 sounds great to me. You probably should stick with it if it is close by.
