Considerations for converting from gas to methanol for motorsports: Methanol is corrosive. Fuel systems need to be upgraded to corrosion inhibitive components not necessary in fuel systems for gas. Methanol requires approximately twice the amount of fuel for the same power level as gas. Fuel pumps and jetting need to be upgraded for the higher […]
Methanol fuel is very popular in motorsports. It is common in drag, circle, and boat racing for example. It is readily available and reasonable in price. It has favorable properties as a racing fuel such as wide tuning window and good tolerance to high compression or high boost. However, it is a hazardous organic compound […]
MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP FOR MFI Mechanical fuel injection uses a positive displacement fuel pump to load the jetting distribution system. Proper fuel pump size and jetting is vital for good performance and good spark plug readings. In the past, Hilborn fuel pumps were rated by the manufacturer at 1,800 RPM fuel pump speed. Enderle, […]
