blakeriley Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Hi guys might be a dumb question but for play riding in dunes whar are the pros and cons of each fuel ? Quote
Jereme6655 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 pump fuel = readily available and motor common, longer lasting rides.....will not support as much compression/timing. With methanol, your going to get way worse time out riding as bike will drink close to twice as much methanol, however methanol will support higher compression/timing safely, and will also run cooler....

Finch Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 methanol i would say drag only or a really hard core duner that feels like strapping a jug to the grab bar, but it sounds like a good idea. Quote
crf250man Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 methanol all day!! But for a duner you should prob go 110 or something im sure someone with more insight will chime in. Quote
Pastrykiller Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Methanol is cheaper per gallon. Catch 22 though, u will use twice as much methanol as 110 octane and end up spending more per trip. 110 at the pump averages 8.00 a gallon at today's prices. 2 55 gallon drums of methanol versus 1 55 gallon drum of 110..... You choose.... Quote

RobertR Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Alky= less ride time but you gain a little more hp and tq. There is nothing to purging I only purge when it's going to set for a long time in between rides. Quote
possum Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 purging is super simple. I do it the easy way. and yes the ride time is the only thing i dont like. it goes really quick. Quote

There is nothing to purging I only purge when it's going to set for a long time in between rides. I was purging 4 fuckin bikes just so they could sit for a week until we ran them again. I know now that they can sit a lil longer without having to purge. If it gets easier to get this season I will go back to alky. And this season I'll have someone to do it for me so I won't have to bitch about it:D Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote
Joejr915 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 What brand of alky do you guys run VP or sunco? Also will lubed methanol fuel work for a drag banshee? Quote
crf250man Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 What brand of alky do you guys run VP or sunco? Also will lubed methanol fuel work for a drag banshee? You want M1 VP the lubed stuff is more for 4 pokes ive heard you can run it but very hard to tune correctly, stick with the M1 Quote
possum Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 i get knock off m1 without the "VPM1 markup". same stuff Quote
Finch Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 they say the drum i bought is m1 from vp but to me its just a drum that says methanol on the side so who knows Quote
possum Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 yea finch. the guy at the fuel place told me VP uses the same meth as the stuff in drums. VP just puts it in there fancy blue cans with there label and marks it up. Quote
Finch Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 ya they wanted 50 for 5 gal jug still wasnt even in a vp can just a black 5 gal bucked or 225 for a drum one hell of a mark up Quote
