A guy around this way had been heating his oil and then adding the ethanol/methanol but the thermostat on his heater broke and he added a batch of alcohol to oil that was above the alcohol's flashpoint - got a face full of a hot oil explosion. | ||

Treat methanol like lighter fuel, i.e. be very careful, it really does go from cute-smelling liquid to blue fireball in an instant when it reaches its flashpoint!
Apart from that ... go for it with all your might, if you have the know-how (which l don't). |
