#1JUANstunna Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I wonder how many people in this thread actually have ran methanol. BTW satts what I was trying to convey that he needs to find someone local to him to actually give him hands on help. Not keyboard help like you said cuz you never know who really has a clue or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1JUANstunna Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Juan.... I know of VERY FEW guys around here to mess with alky.. let alone on a banshee..

B.b.p builders Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Thanks guys, I found a source but had to buy a barrel, vp m1. They didn't stock it and would only get it for me if I bought a barrel. For those with open minds, what was wondering about was what u find in auto stores hardware stores call 99.9% methal hydrate, I had read that it could be used, but wanted to be sure first. Maybe it can be, but quality can't be guaranteed, but anyway I got the good stuff. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 You bought a whole barrel, just so you could sell the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay shafer Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I Run Vp M1 Methanol and I purge with the vp 50:1 already mixed fuel that you can get from any hardware store, home depot, lowes or any small engine shop. Its already mixed and its high octane. Pour it in start it up run until it barely can run. Purge complete.... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-VP-Small-Engine-Fuel-50-1-Pre-Mixed-94-Octane-Ethanol-Free-Single-6235/203526823 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay shafer Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 You can but this is quicker and easier for me...its already mixed and just pour in and its 94 octane also . Some people cant get 93 octane in certain areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I like purging with the same ratio of oil that I run the bike with. (20:1) ...just to keep things simple. I theorize that purging with lots of oil helps coat everything internally to prevent rust. ...maybe that's why I get dirty looks at the dunes while purging. ....
