Water/meth injection (TDR Home page)

I thought Methanol and Ethanol were both types of alcohol? One being made from wood the other from corn?

Methanol can be distilled from the gases that are cooked out of wood in an airtight vessel or retort oven. The remaining wood is called charcole. Many other ingredients, including acetone, can be separated in the distillation process. There are probably other sources of methanol too, perhaps including natural gas.

I have a system on my second gen it sure did lower egt's the fuel is dispersed at such a high pressure at such atomization I don't see how it all wouldn't just burn up and pass through.

There is a ton of information on the Snow Boost Cooler that has already been hashed out and gone over previously on these forums. You might try a search for some good reading.



FWIW - Methanol is present is most windshield washer fluids.

Brainiac wishes to teach you:

1. Methanol (methyl alcohol) is produced from the distillation of wood and is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a weak odor that is somewhat sweeter than ethanol and alcohol.



Be careful not to confuse ALCOHOL or ETHANOL with METHANOL!



Alcohol and Ethanol is a renewable energy fuel fuel made from sugar crops, such as sugar cane and corn. Methanol, on the other hand is made from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas.

First you say it is made from wood and then you state it is made from fossil fuels
