If you are doing for Octane booster advice to get better gas or run some mix race gas even 15 gl 93 and 6 gallons of 100oct or 109.
Plenty of test show 50/50 is flammable. Not as bad, but still is. Terry has always said he prefers a richer mixture and M1 if he can get it. I start with 50/50 by weight first as I check for leaks. I also keep fire extinguisher just incase worst case happens.
I poured full boost juice on my car. No fire igniting there.

Theres your M1 aftermath. Theres so many M cars caught on fire because people listened and saw power output but never saw what liquid can do. I jst hope you listen and weigh your option.

I think Ram All Motor is running Boost Juice also.

Proven even on my car no Need to run Pure M1 to make power. Just need a good Tune.

Isn't the E30 fire oil? looks like a fire on or around the turbo and possibly the oil line/union failure.

I've always ran either an 80/20 mix or straight VPM1 and never had any issues. I'm a firm believer that the install is the most important part of meth-injection - many people have bad experiences (leaks, air bubbles, etc.), but at the end of the day 99% of issues come down to a poor install.

Boostjuice is convenient in that you can order it and don't have to do any of the mixing, so this time around I'm thinking of going that route and straight VPM1 for the track.

Isn't gasoline flammable? The plumbing is the most important thing when running any sort of additional fueling. Don't use the push-in connectors and check for leaks at least weekly and redo your plumbing every 6 months especially the lines exposed up-front by the charge pipes.

Running 50/50 can have drawbacks as well. If meth sprays inadvertently, you can hydro lock (water won't evaporate quickly).

I agree with allmotor.

For testing the push fitting are ok to allow quick adjustments as you tune the fit but once sorted change to compression fittings for the pressure side at least.

I fill be changing to soild lines and stainless braided lines (like brake hoses) where needed once fully happy.
