6061 T6 Aluminum fuel fitting for methanol
(OP)
We are making custom aluminum fuel fittings for our sprint car methanol fuel system. Will type 2 anodizing be sufficient for corrosion protection?

Compass Guide for metals has 3003 rated AB to 100% @ 90°F for Methanol, and as far as I can tell 3003 differs from 6061 in that it has less Cr, less Zn and no Ti. I'd imagine then that 6061 would be better suited for methanol than 3003?
Agreed stainless would be the best choice, but if you could provide a little more info for me why the Al is unacceptable that would be excellent.

Magnesium is poor in methanol.
Titanium stress corrosion cracks in methanol (maybe that was ethanol?).
