CH4O = Methanol Complete Combustion CH4O + O2 + N2 = CO2 + H2O + N2 AF = 6.4 Parts Air for each Part of Fuel 136% More methanol is burned compared to gasoline per volume of air. Advantages * Produces higher BTUs per pound of air. * It is a safer fuel to handle due to the high heat of vaporization. * High octane rating usually over 100. Disadvantages * Must be kept sealed or it will absorb water. * Must flush the engine to prevent metal deterioration. * The flame produced from burning is not visible in daylight. * The carburetor needs to be calibrated. * Must change oil often to prevent alcohol accumulation.
