Question Intake air temp sensor and methanol?

I was wondering where to tap my intake air temp sensor if I am running pure methanol. I wouldnt want it to spray and ruin the readings of the sensor. If anyone could help me with this that would be appreciated.
thanx

On the stock IC pipes I would use the verticle hard pipe. The one that is right behind the drivers headlight. Your Methanol nozzle should be on the next pipe. The one between the battery and the cam cover. Your air temps would be accurate and you wouldn't have to worry about the meth hitting the sensor. It can be a bit corrosive. Anything after the IC should give you a good reading.
