What kind of prices/brands are you guys getting? The place by me charges 175 for a drum of renegade methanol. I'll probably use about 8-10 drums this season depending on how things go (rainouts, flat out sucking, etc.) Halfway wondering if I should just try to become a dealer and try to get it for cheaper? Does anyone have any experience doing this, or is it a waste of time? | ||

That's not too bad for brand name. Last year I was paying $165 for the same brand but it's a buddy giving me a decent price. I paid the same $165 for no name methanol here also. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

around Atlanta i am paying $225 for a drum of VP and i think the sunoco i bought a few times last year was at like $210-220. i miss the days of getting a good name brand for under $200. | |||

I've seen name brand methanol loaded with contaminants. Your best bet isn't name brand necessarily, you're best bet is stick with a supplier who knows how to inspect fuel, and does with every batch. You'll know when you find him, by taking the same measures. With name brand there's an assumption. | |||

Who does everyone else around you buy from? How much do they pay for a drum? | |||

Mike Rietow, I haven't seen methanol "loaded" with contaminants since the early 90's when we were trying to run recycled industrial methanol. | |||

In my area Fuse Fuels (Company Brand) is the methanol I use and they’re 10 miles away. When I call they can have a barrel ready to load when I arrive in 30 minutes. $2.75 gal plus tax. A barrel is 54 gal. Purchased from them for over 10 years. Like others said, I think $175 for a drum is a fair price even if it is not a big name brand. | |||

You may not know how to inspect fuel, dunno. To qualify that claim, do tell how you inspect methanol. I have no problem with the claim, I'm curious as to the accuracy of the perspective. | |||

If your getting Renegade for that price keep buying it that's a good deal. And I sell Renegade. | |||

Yes and I add 1/2 quart of Klotz uplon fuel lube to each drum. Warren gets his fuel from the Sunoco distributor out your way | |||

Steve, yes, I am 2 miles from Lonestar Super Gas. Mighty handy. I walk down there and roll a drum along the road back to my shop. Larry Woodfin | |||

Does Alan still sell his Interstate Methanol? Never had any issues with it. Might be worth the drive? I use to buy 8-10 drums at a time, to last the year. 2005 2000lb 4 link dragster home brew 582 BBC Dart 355 1.058 2.98 4.629@149 6.094 7.310@185 | |||

I’ve been running methanol for 20 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever run a drop of “name brand” methanol. It’s just a chemical compound. All you need to know is that it is pure. Been a few months since I bought any but $175 per drum is in the neighborhood. Tony Leonard | |||
