Been difficult to find Methanol in my area for a reasonable $. Found someone who no longer uses it in their car and has a 55 gallon drum of it that he'll sell me for $40. The drum is plastic, not steel. I've read about the hydroscopic properties of Methanol and its ability to pull moisture from anywhere, including through plastic.
Now, is that a bad thing? Since I'm using it for injection in Razor's PAC kit, will a little water in the Methanol hurt anything, affect performance, etc. Seems no, since many inject water solely.
The only other thing I'm worried about is if it was stored in a plastic that was rated for methanol. I've read that Methanol can actually plasticize some plastics and that would probably not be a good thing if there's liquid plastic floating around.
For what it is worth, the drum is 4 years old.
Should I pass?
