Glad some of you guys challenged my Methanol claim. I am learning a lot researching to figure out how I got that statement wedged into my memory (it's been there many years).

One may be the unhalation hazard of unburned methanol/byproducts coming out of the gas tank and the exhaust pipe of internal combustion engines. I-405 outside LA would quickly be converted to a Sanitarium during rush hour. If this is the case then I agree that Methanol for fuel cell applications makes sense. Even with internal combustion engines they solved most of the problems with pressurized gas caps and evaporation canisters.

Have to back to the "Big 3" diagnostic records of about 10 years ago to find out about the corrosion issue. I know there was a serious problem awhile back.

Anyhow it appears I misspoke. Thanks again to the folks who corrected me. Learned a lot today.
