There is no vehicle info here so in general:
- Methanol is used much in larger amounts than Gasoline, so the injection system or carburetor must be modified to deliver enough fuel.
- Many Injection systems will be harmed by pure Methanol so many parts may need to be changed.
- The ignition system will need to be changed as the methanol will work best with a different advance curve. It will run and work with no modification, but not at its best.

Why do race cars use methanol?
methanol has a lower burning point, so an engine running on methanol can make more power with less heat.
Can you use gl1000 heads on a gl1100 engine?
yes you can but it takes some modification with the fuel pump
Is methanol a good solvent to use in paper chromatography?
Because methanol is a very polar solvent
How many gallons in one ton of methanol?
how much methanol can I use in a gallon of gas to be safe
How do you use genetic modification in a sentence?
Genetic modification is a controversial subject.
Can methanol melt ice?
in fact yes.....methanol melt ice as we use methanol to remove the ice formed around some valves "JT valves" in industry..but i dont know how it works yet
Can you use methanol on your hair?
If u wanna go bald
How would you use modification in a sentence?
The modification of the Church meant that women can now become vicars.
Will your car explode if you use the wrong type of gas?
If you are asking if it will tear up engine then the answer is yes. As far as exploding not that I am aware of unless you feel a engine revving up so high on NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) or methanol that it throws a piston/rod through the engine. I have been told too much ethanol will break the fuel pump and I know if you put diesel in a gas engine it will foul out and quit. Now a methanol engine on a dragster can blow up if it breaks down during races so that part is true. It all comes down to what type of engine and what type of fuel you are talking about.
Is methanol more effective than petrol?
It depends on what you're trying to do with it. It produces fewer BTUs of heat than petrol does, so your fuel economy will be lower if you're using it as a motor fuel. Its flash point is higher than petrol's so it is safer to use as a solvent. If you want to make plastics, it's a different story: several plastics are made out of methanol, and none from petrol.
How do you remove methanol out of an ethanol mixture?
Methanol has a Boiling point under standard conditions of 64.7 °C, and ethanol of 78.4 °C. You I can boil off vapor and collect Methanol and Ethanol, and use that cooled back down to liquid form and preform a test.
Can you use propanol for biodiesel production?
Yes, you can, by definition, use iso-propanol for biodiesel production, resulting in a fuel with better fuel properties than FAME, but since methanol is the cheapest alcohol, FAME is the most widespread product of biodiesel. And many now existing standards are designed in such a fashion that only methanol can be used if the standards are observed correctly.
