I had my tank leaking on the front plug anf the lower pump fitting was leaking. I snug the tank plug a lil bit and the wrench the pump fitting down and no more leaking. I wonder if my HOA will be ok with a 55 gallon drum of methanol in the garage because I am burning that stuff up faster than I thought.

If you are going to have a big drum of methanol around the house, get in touch with your local fire department and make sure you're on their good side.

It may be against code or put a person in dutch with their homeowner's/renter's policy so it's wise to tread carefully with an amount that large.

Another suggestion for the gas price hiccup:

See if you can get tuned on 91 with Meth because there are several 7-11s that offer many grades of fuel (91 being one of them) with nicely varied prices. My car came from CALI and was tuned on 91, so I've went back to that grade for 20cents cheaper. Even though I drive to the train station, I'm still burning too much fuel for my liking.
