Boost juice will burn the same as a 50/50 M1/water mix - Boost juice is just a 49/51 mix of water and meth mix with some red some dye to gum things up!

100% meth is just more volitile and contains more energy than a percentage mix.

It doesnt burn as quick as m1.
But rather have the gunk than Flames. Lol

Heres a Test comparison on
M1 & Boost Juice

With enough heat, oxygen and fuel source anything will burn.

Thanks for posting the video, reminds me i should put an extinguisher in my car.

Methanol fires are invisable, the flames are colorless, that looked more like petrol, especially as it was from under the car, dont we mostly run the meth pipework through the interior, not underneath?

Yes pretty much, it could have been meth leak and started burning the surrounding areas hence it looks like that. Or meth could have ignites something. And as u make more boost it prolly sprayed more in the area. Who knows really. But just doing some
Process of elimination.
If its not meth what could it be ? I have seen bmw burning after you park them. But not while driving.

Oil or brake fluid leak could cause this as well... anyway all speculation.

And prove to me that boost juice doesn't burn the same as 50/50mix of M1 and water.. it is the same mix as boost juice just without the colouring... do you think boost juice is flame retardent in some way?? Sort of at odds with the fact its a fuel you inject to burn and add power.... both have the same calorific value at the same mix level... just make sure you are comparing apples to apples and don't believ the hype!

M1 ignites faster than Boost juice plain and simple
Video shows it. All u need is a simple leak and Boom! Fire is on. Boost juice buys u more time. Mos give lots of time to notice it not spraying tham M1

This state ment is simply incorrect... ask any chemist or even first year chemistry student.

This thread is base on opinion and conjector, there are no facts.

Look at the video (the full one) when flames start, they are instantly very yellow and lots of carbonous black smoke, also when the car is stopped and switched off it keeps burning and reigniting, once you stitch your car off the meth pump stops running also most people/workshops run the meth line through the cabin as mention previously, this fire looks to be low by the gearbox, I would guess oil has sprayed on the exhaust DP's and gone up...in my opinion.. also did you see the dark trail being left behind the car and then all the 'oily' looking foot prints and tyre marks and river flowing that appear after the car as sat there for a while.... this isn't in my opinion a meth fire.. but an oil fire.

Having been around race cars and bikes running alcohol (methanol is acohol if you didn't know.. CH3OH or other wise known Methyl alcohol; Wood alcohol; Carbinol; Wood spirit; Wood naphtha), the only way to tell they are on fire is from the heat haze and the driver running around flapping his arms or even rolling around. Its why cars racing with alcohol fuel or other alcohols have to display a big

This thread is simply put as pooring fuel on the fire... pun intended. Its just sensationalism!



Useless thread...

Im stating meth M1 ignites quicker than Boost juice plain n simple.

The fact thT yellow flames ? was there couldve ignited the surrounding areas of the car. Thats it.


Good to provide details though also.

How is this plan or simple - boost juice is methanol at 49% and Distilled water at 50.99% and a small amount of red dye (~0.01%). This mix will ignited and burn at exacly the same rate as M1 or other 99% pure methanol when mixed with water at 49/51 mix. Same volitility and calorific value.

There is no flame retardent properties or additives to reduce its volitilities in boost juice period.

Im not asking No Chemist, professional, google or even Siri for this im showing straight video of what can happen. Not the What ifs or what could.


Take a video of Un-opened new boost juice and M1 open them in the video try to ignite them and prove me wrong.
I took a video comparing both products



M1 vs Boost juice.

M1 ignites right away
Boost juice doesn't!

Till then, prove me wrong.

And by what scientific approach was that done lol!

Boost juice burns too.

The M1 methanol you were using was obviously neat, i.e 99% pure with no water mixed.

You are comparing apples and oranges in a very unscientific approach.... you proved nothing.

Do the same experiement with petrol and diesel and you would have similar results, guess you would say diesel isn't flamable as well! Actually don't, you were luck not to have the M1 or Boost juice flash over when you lit the puddles with the cans near by, you will just injury yourself for no gain.

I am going to call you out as an internet troll with nothing valueable to add to this forum aprat from fanning the flames on this meth fire / boost juice is as safe as water bo#cks.

Annoy someone else, I am done.

Apparently you must not use any of these but read google lmao. There is No Scientific reviews need to be done. Its pretty simple if you ask me.


And you dont read the video captions as well.

-advice on owners running pure methanol vs boost juice

-owners running pure M1 increases chance of vehicular fire in case of leak or spillage.
-owners running boost juice are less of a chance that this can happen (car fires) than owners running straight M1.


The Video is for M5 owners that use
Either

Run straight M1


Or

Just use Boost juice
Plain and simple.


My video says

Running pure M1 vs Boost juice.


Read before you comment.
Or analyze the the video captions.

Till then you can take a seat.
