Snow Performance Stage 2 and 100% Meth

stefano · Aug 13, 2007, 09:06 AM

So I've been reading about people running 100% meth on all kinds of alky injection kits having leaking problems. From what i've been able to figure out, its a combination of the methanol being thinner than a mixture of water/meth as well as possibly kit construction issues.

So I guess my question is, who's been running 100% meth for a decent amount of time and what kind of experience have you had? Places to check often for leaks? Tips? etc...

I haven't seen any evidence on my setup (Snow Performance's specifically) but was wondering what i should keep an eye out for.

Thanks in advance.

If I understand the problem correctly is the corrosive properties of the methanol that eats away at the pump seals which makes it leak over time. I don't know anything about the snow performance pumps, but I do know that some mfgs are using water pumps that you would find in home depot. The new aquamist pumps are supposed to be just fine for meth.

there are several members on the board that have been running the straight 100% meth through their kits for quite some time now with no leaks but have you tried running straight water to see if thats the issue?

I luckily dont have that problem (knock on wood), I was just wondering how other people were holding up. etc.

ahh ok, yea i was one to never run 100% but they are definitely capable of it, just nice to check everything periodically just for safe measure
