I agree, the methanol has to be completely removed. But it is compatible
with the seals, which is why methanol is specified, not isopropanol or
ethanol.

Kinda silly trying to flush out DOT 4 with DOT 4 ... and DOT 5 will not
dissolve DOT 4 so it won't work either.
I lean away from the use of methanol myself ... just trying to answer your
questions.
