Anyone know good source locations for Methanol? Im willing to buy 55 gallon drums at a time....if not two or three at once.

Thanks, Paul

Find out where Race guys hang out. I will ask my landlord as he is a raceguy and see where he buys his stuff. Right now I just by the 1 gal, container. The following "Go to the paint section at your local can-tire. Get a jug of methyl hydrate, see what it says on the label for purity. Methyl hydrate is another name for methanol. is about word for word of what I was going to say as well, ".

I did Google it and here is some of the info;

http://www.ashland.com/

Another..

info from a few years ago in a post;
vpracingfuels.com got back to me and the price isn't bad if I get a 54 gallon drum.

54 Gal (204 liter) Drum of M1 - $300 (tax included) + $25 refundable drum deposit
$1.47 /liter
5 Gal (19 liter) Pail of M1 - $60 (tax inlcuded)
$3.16 /liter

And then there's the special M5 grade...
54 Gal (204 liter) Drum of M5 - $450 (tax included) + $25 refundable drum deposit
$2.21 /liter

I'm still searching but anyone interested in splitting a drum? I need to ask them if we buy the same quantities as the drum but in pails if it will make the price similar to a drum. It's kinda hard to move a 350 pound drum without a forklift.
