The big danger with methanol combustion is you can't see the light

Other than that it is actually inherently safer than gasoline - and
the mixture is more dangerous than straight methanol as far as fire is
concerned.


I don't see alcohol, in any form, as viable, simply because I probably can't
easily get the alcohol without copious amounts of accompanying water.

And IF you can fet it 200 proof (100%) it will not stay that way
because it is TERRIBLT Hydroscopic. It will absorb moisture out of
desert air!!!
