Off I went and there is a guy somewhere who is no doubt ranting about how he himself filled the car which runs on water. I can't remember, but I might have told him I worked for BP Oil and it was a research car we had.

I didn't mention to him that I already had a tank fairly full of methanol and he was just adding a bit of water, which happens to act as corrosion inhibitor in methanol.

Wonderful tale, Mq.

Reminds me of the Mexican truck driver who told me that he used water in his truck's hydraulic brake lines when the master cylinder failed and leaked out all of its brake fluid. He claimed that the water did the job; if his tale was true, which I doubt, he was very lucky to be alive.
