Default Water methanol

Hello all, new to site and already like it alot. was wondering if anybody out there is using water methanol and having any kind of luck, with what system and how much are you injecting in your diesel. have an 02 dodge cummins with slight modifications with injectors and a box have used the water meth on last trip to dunes.noticed a drop in egt with one 12 gal per hour nozzle and a 50/50 mix currently i am up to a 12 gal and 6 gal per hour nozzles but have not yet towed with them yet just a spin around the block.

Water methanol does keep the temps in check, but I prefer more air, and diesel only myself.

Doesn't the methanol only add more fuel to the fire??

Welcome to DieselBombers

I know methanol allows the fuel to burn more efficiently but not sure as far as hotter.
