She then pipes back " its so I can look pretty for you!!!!!!!!" I then told her: "THATS WHAT THE BEER IS FOR!!!!!!!!!"
as usual, todays jokes are free! I once hurt my back picking up this Asian kid, I spun him around over my head in an attempt to dis-orient him!
the jokes keep comming out, I think its time to UP my meds!

I only read the first few pages.
First off, methanol is CHEAP and pretty available at any race shop that also sells race fuel. Denatured if you are lucky you can buy it for about $8 per gallon. Methanol you can get for under $3 per gallon. One large reason to buy it, performance compared to straight denatured is about the same with a very very slight advantage going to the methanal.
This particular problem (starter of the thread) is obviously from improper installation. The fitting for the kit was obviously not tight or it would not have come loose.

Thanks

YES the problem WAS the installation, and by no means the product at all! Thanks for pitching in on some insight, we appreciate that!

Last time I bought methanol it was about $2.50 per gallon, that was only a few months ago. I bought it from a Torco Racing fuels distributor and bought a 55 gallon drum. Just talked to a guy that bought it for $2.35 per gallon from VP.
