Interesting discussions about the dangers of methanol. A few years ago my son raced Quarter Midget Cars(racing for kids from 5-18 years old). Kinda like open wheeled go carts. The upper classes ran methanol. We treated it like gasoline. Don't drink it, don't smoke around it, don't get it on your skin and don't spash it in your eyes. In all the years we were involved I NEVER heard of anyone in our sport having an accident with it.
And it was GREAT for starting a campfire because, unlike gasoline, it doesn't explode.
Guess we were just more careful than others.
