i've hear that water/ meth and propane can help with mpg's, but 50 is b.s.. now propane can be safe if used in small amounts. but it runs hot if you use to much.

well any kind of aftermarket injector-ant in large amounts can hurt your motor but i doubt methanol can seriously affect your motor unless you overuse the recommended amount

Use water injection to cool egt's...

Run Propane to cook your steaks...

Run Diesel Fuel to drive your truck...

Anyone who tells you they get 50mpg with a 8k truck, is FOS.

If you install the kit incorrectly yes.

If you run too much methanol, yes.

If you hydro lock the motor, yes...
