    I copied the following from one of the car news groups a few months
    back.  I haven't tried it yet so can't really say whether or not it
    works.
...
            33% Methanol

    (2) Methanol is poisonous,
    as are its vapors.  Mix this up where there is excellent ventilation.
...
    Amount to use: 1 tablespoon per tankful.

methanol is HIGHLY corrosive to various and sundry materials
you might find in a car's fuel system.  it may be ok in
an older, carburated vehicle, but who knows?  it certainly
kills fool injection systems in very short order.  use care.
