Alky Storage Question????

[Buix893]

Buick is stored outside under car canopy and so forth, my question is can I leave the Alky in the tank??? The car will be sitting for 3 months, so should I drain the tank, or just leave it in there?

Alky is hydroscopic, it absorbs moisture out if the air. I keep my tank 100% full and the lid on tight.

I would drain it.

The tank is 3/4 full....don't wanna waste it..lol...My concern is will it hurt the pump? The pump is new, but still just wondering

My son's WE4 sat for a long time and it ruined the pump.

I have mine mixed around 50/50 with distilled water while in storage, I disconnected the nozzles, routed the line back into the overflow container, used the pump test kit to run the pump for a while that way it wouldn't be sitting with the pure methanol in the pump.

Solid advice

I'm not sure how it works with the aux injection kits, but on an engine that burns pure methanol, the corrosion problem comes about when moisture (water) gets into the alcohol.
