the fuel characteristics of methanol and ethanol are a bit different.
For example ethanol has a fuel air ratio of about 1:6.5 whereas methanol is about 1:4.5
Premium unleaded 1:12
We use Methanol because of its ability to withstand high compression ratio's and its ability to carry oxygen. It also burns much much cooler then petrol.
Fuel injection for alcy engines is a fine and costly art.
To run electric fuel injection on alcy engines you will need 2-3 injectors per cylinder. And legitimate 'indy blue' alcohol injectors cost around $500 each.
2 x number of cylinders x $500= ALOT!
