I am fairly new to this alchy thing and need a question or 2 answered. I noticed alot of you use alchy and water...but do not know the reason why...what does water do in the solution. Also what is the best type of alchy to use?? I did a search and got more confused that ever reading all the topics

TIA

Bob,

My understanding is the distilled water helps prevent detonation better than using straight denatured.

Water has infinite octane, and has many times the heat absorption rate of alcohol. Str8 alky is easier to tune, which is why a lot of guys go that route. I run 60-70% alcohol and 30-40% distilled water.
