-40 degree washer fluid is supposed to work great. You can plumb the pump into the stock washer res and have a factory low warning light

I was scoping out some -40 today but not so keen on the idea of putting in detergents into my brand new forged engine? I will however be using my stock washer tank though, thats a plus to have the factory low warning light. I wish I could just find some staright meth somewhere, otherwise it will be windshield fluid for this guy.

I don't think F-body's came with a low WW warning light. At least none of the ones I have been in have.

As for using WW fluid instead of methanol, people have done it, and I'm sure you could as well, but why use it, when just getting regular methanol is already dirt cheep? So you spend $2.49 a gallon instead of $1.99 a gallon of WW fluid. Is 50 cents really worth running something that was not meant to be ran through your motor? It may be worth it to you, but I'll stick with running what all the methanol injection companies reccomend (methanol mixed with water, and pure methanol).

I hear ya bro but not everyone has the luxury of walking down the street and getting some. No speed shops here, might be a bit tough. Washer fluid without detergents sounds like water/meth to me, not? As long as you keep it the same brand I think the sky will stay the same colour.

You may not have it in abundance as you would WW fluid, however it can be ordered and delivered everywhere, and may be more previlant than you think as its also used by numerous farmers, and farmer suppliers as well. Someone even said they get theirs at their local Home Depot store.

Like I said, people have done it, but when its pretty much the same price just to get what you know is what is supposed to be used, why risk it for the small hassle it is to pick up the phone and have it delivered to your house? They can sell it in 55 gallon drums, so its not like you'll be ordering more every week. Heck, I beat the snot out of my car last year and only went through 7 gallons of my water/meth mix. So basically, I only used 3.5 gallons of methanol.
