Whats the point of mixing meth with water?

Meth has a flash point of almost double then gasoline, And it's a self cooling fuel. We battle freezing injectors open on the Rail car all the time.


It depends what you're using it for, if you want the cooling effects, water absorbs much more heat than meth. Obviously if you just want an octane boost, the more meth the better.

The #1 reason is safety, you can't see a methanol fire, supposedly concentrations 50% and below are not flammable.



For the amount of Meth that we use here I wouldn't see it being a issue. Also the Methanol has cooling property far superior to water.. On our rail car after running 168mph on the 1/4 the Blower is ICE cold(in a 32c day you'd think you stuck your hand on a bag of ice)

If you treat methanol with respect you won't have issues.
