Methanol in Diesels
Methanol in Diesels
(OP)
I race a VW Golf Tdi and along with lots of diesel i also use methanol as a fuel not an anti detonant.At the rolling road i picked up 40hp at the flywheel up to 223hp and 204.5@ wheels.My question is what damage can the methanol do to the engine?The engine note changes alot when its on boost and the methanol is being injected and it sounds like the big ends are going to drop out!!

What do your bearings look like? Have you pulled the head and looked? Oil analysis?

I hope your joking about this being a daily driver because you have already virtually destroyed the engine with 4 bent rods and a burnt piston!
