Re: Three point injection on a 1.9 diesel
No, Methanol will not predetonate. The auto ignition point of methanol is higher than that of diesel, the methanol is ignited by the diesel. Without the diesel igniting, the methanol would never burn in my engine.
The only dangers with methanol are the increased burn temp, 1200 Deg C to diesels 800 Deg C. This is the only good reason for adding the water to the mix, and at 70% methanol I get slightly lower exhaust gas temps than with just extra diesel. So as long as I keep the ratio below 70% methanol it will be no worse than a remap or tuning box.
