i wouldnt bother getting a retune until you are using the stuff that you will constantly use. esp if you are mixing windshield fluid.

i just order mine here in 20L jugs.

Company also change their mix depend on the season so during the summer the tend to cut down on the -36F. In NYC the lowest I can find is -36F but can Canadians can get -50F

Edit:
You (CA) guys get screwed with gas octane, CARB and now Windshield Washer Fluid

I was at walmart and I could find was +36 farenheit/-0 celcius windshield wiper fluid. According to Peaks website....its 1% methanol...lmao.

I bought 30 bucks worth of HEET which will make 4 gallons of 50/50 mix. Still a better deal then Boost juice, saving about 20 bucks but I wish I can find some better windshield wiper fluid. I wouldnt mind the Peak -20 farenheit fluid because its rated at 35% methanol..

/\ Windshield washer fluid do their mix by volume and not weight so technically it is much less than that. I'm currently doing my own mix of 40% Meth and 60% water and I see that my A/F drop about .2 compared to a -36F windshield washer which is supposed to have 40% meth..

How much did you pay for the Heet? Try to find a VP dealer in your area and just pickup a 5 gallon Meth.

.2 drop? too bad you cant measure IAT. wonder how much a little change in AF (which is related to the volume of meth sprayed --daily temp swings alter my AF that much) can cool the IATs.

Could you not log IAT with UTEC?

Are you guys getting better fuel mileage with these water meth kits under normal driving conditions? I ask this cause I found this product called a hydro4000, which is basically setup the same way as a water meth kit, and they are getting better mileage.

Ahh ic. Heet was 1.20 per 12 ounce bottle at Walmart and I bought about 22 . When I mix this 50/50 with water, Its bascially 12 ounce meth to 12 ounce distilled water correct? Whats this weight you speak of? If I just buy a gallon of -36 wiper fluid and throw in two bottles of heet, wouldnt that be a very high meth content? +50 %? Yea Ill try looking for a VP dealer, for now I think I have about 2 months supply in my garage

Meth and water has a different weight. Meth weigh 6.6 pounds per gallon and Water weigh 8.34 pounds per gallon.

if you're looking to make 1 gallon of mix, you need .44 gallons water and .56 gallons meth (1.67 L water and 2.12 L methanol). If you do a 50/50 mix using volume then you are pretty much in the ball park of 40% meth and 60% water. It is the consistency of the mix that is more important so make sure the percentage is always constant.

$40 is a good price. You can make 10 Gallon mix of 40/60 (Meth/Water) with that. All you have to do is buy some distilled water for .99C.
