While cars can be made to run well on it, it doesn't really change anything. There isn't enough of it available to power a lot of vehicles.

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.

nitro / methanol / petrol!


Type of racing fuel is used in the Indy 500 race?

Starting in 2006, the IRL switched to Ethanol.


What fuel goes into a race car?

Do race cars use gasoline like normal cars do or do they use something elseIt depends on the type of race car you are talking about. For example:NASCAR engines burn 110-octane leaded gasoline.Indy cars burn pure methanol (a.k.a. wood alcohol, CH3OH).Top Fuel dragsters and funny cars burn nitromethane (CH3NO2).Each of these fuels has advantages and disadvantages. For example, the methanol fuel used in Indy cars has the advantage that it can run at extremely high compression ratios for Methanol also has a nice safety feature -- you can extinguish a methanol fire with water. 110-octane gasoline also handles high compression well. Nitromethane is basically a liquid explosive and contains a great deal of energy per unit volume (more than twice that of gasoline).

What gas is ussed in racing car tiers?

Usually they run alchohal, but in dirt trak cars, they might use regular gasoline. It depends on the racecar; Nascar cars use 110 octan leaded gasoline, Indy cars use pure methanol, and Drag cars use Nitro methan.

What fuel does the car use?

Depends on the car. The most common fuel is unleaded gasoline but some cars also run on diesel, ethanol, methanol, alcohol, propane, natural gas, electricity and various combinations of these.


To maximize equilibrium yield of methanol would you use high or low temperature?

High because a higher pressure is the result of decreased volume and when a decreased volume for the equilibrium mixture is involved, the shift is toward the side with the least amount of mols of gas. 3 for reactants and 1 for methanol so towards methanol


Will methanol melt ice?

It depends on the temperature of the methanol. If the methanol is warmer than 32F (0C) it will melt the ice until the methanol reaches 32. Methanol can be less than 32F and still liquid in which case it won't melt the ice. It's about heat transfer not material.


Methanol how long can you store methanol before it goose bad?

Theoretically it can last and does not spoil for a VERY long time BUT Methanol can absorb water once opened. Check that the methanol is clear and not milky. I have heard that it goes brownish when off.
