Same problem with hydrogen as a fuel too with invisible flames although
it is much less likely to poison you than methanol.

My neighbour does have a car that runs off methanol (and a bit of nitro)
- a custom drag racer with a highly tuned 2k horsepower engine. Turns
out he is one of the UK's fastest dragster racers.

The clutch is made of titanium with a race certified seal on it.
