Chem Source Methanol
Fuel Factory methanol was as good as any I have tired and it was $220 a drum, delivered on a pallet of 4. New drums and I always add 32 oz of Klotz top lube.

My $.02, I'll just leave it at that.


Our VP fuels dealer up here tried to tell me that I needed to buy fuel from him because running the methanol that I get from Inlet Energy isn't good for racing. I told him I've ran brand name stuff and generic stuff and seen zero difference in performance, and know others that have done the same thing. He tried to tell me his fuel would be faster....it's somewhat more expensive here because it's all shipped in, and I pay about $350 a barrel. I asked him how much for a barrel of his fuel and he told me $900. I said I'm not going to pay that for zero difference in performance and it was crazy that he's charging that...Then I went on to win a championship with my $350 a barrel stuff....

Anyone have followups using Chem Source?? I have 2 drums I picked up yesterday so I'll see how it goes. The company recommends no lube needed and people I've talked to say they use no lube. Price is the same as the industrial stuff I was buying and putting lube in. Last year when I drained my cell I had white residue on the walls of the plastic cell and this was right at the end of the season, not after sitting.

What is that price you're paying E? I bought a drum of what I always use from our local supplier and was just under $200.

We used 7 drums last season in our personal cars all with no lube with great results. We also sold 48 drums since last June with great feedback from others.
