Not all gasolines contain methanol. Methanol is an oxygenate and is distilled. When Methanol is used all Major Manufacturers discourage mixtures above 10%.

The other Oxygenates used are:

Ethanol which is produced by fermentation and when used the Major manufaturers discourage a mix greater than 10%.

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) which is also a distilled product and when used The Major manufacturers discourage a mix of more than 15%.

in many states these are only used during the winter months but there are some moajor metropolitian areas in the US that mandate that only oxygenated fules can be sold year round.

Does Methyl hydrate work like gas line antifreeze or is is the same product?

Methyl hydrate is commonly known as methyl alcohol, methanol, or wood alcohol. Its molecular formula is CH3OH. .for more information: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_hydrate .. Methyl hydrate or methanol is commonly used as a gas line antifreeze. Since methanol and water are completely miscible that is they will dissolve in each other completely, methanol lowers the freezing point of any water in the bottom of the engine fuel system. .. Also since methanol will dissolve in gasoline fuel, it keeps any water in the fuel in a dissolved state. In other words you won't have a ice blockage in your fule line, tank bottom, or fuel filter. .. Since many gasolines contain ethanol, they already have antifreeze protection. .. Methanol has been used as a racing fuel and as a gasoline fuel additive. It has the property of reducing engine knocking (raising the octane level).


Can you run gas in a methanol go cart motor?

i wouldn't think so, as gas doesnt contain the correct amount of oil for lubrication in the cylinder. also gas burns at a different temperature, so u risk damage to the spark plug

Can you turn methanol into ethanol?

Yes, methanol can be converted into ethanol through a process called catalytic hydrogenation, where hydrogen gas is reacted with methanol over a catalyst to yield ethanol. This process involves changing the molecular structure of methanol to produce ethanol.
