I have used water/methanol for years. But have been running into oil contamination problems with the new ultralow sulphur diesel. Some of the new diesel contains a significant amount of water in the fuel, and uses some exotic alcohol to keep the water in suspension. As soon as I start injecting my water/methanol with that fuel the power drops, so it is easy to spot when you get a tank. Just turn off the water system until you run it out, then try the next tank.

It does not seem to be isolated to any particular brand, but Citgo seems to always cause a problem.

Me to greyghost. I am one fo those do it yourselfers so I am going to try and make it by pieces.
Usually ends up costing me more in the long run though.
