Health and safety risks also means that delivery can be expensive.

Methanol is easier, and he says it has been harder to get nitromethane, but he is still able to get it on special delivery.

I will be contacting him next week, and try and get more details, and I'll order some nitromethane :lol:

Interesting results here, of course liek alot of people I am concerned about safety of using this, but the feeling overall is that small amounts say up to 10% by volume methanol/water would be reasonable?

Thanks for the update. I will get some and test our seals with it at up to 50% concentration - I think it is good enough - unlikely people with pump 100% nitro through the Aquamist pump.
