Definitely no expert, but here's a something I learned recently (accidentally, as usual!).
Gasoline and methanol do NOT STAY mixed. I never had occasion to try mixing them until a few weeks ago. My 1958 Wheelhorse had symptoms of water in the float bowl after sitting a long time. Before taking the bowl off, I tried adding a little methanol to the gas, to absorb any water- it worked! Then, after sitting a couple more days, I noticed a line at the middle of the glass sediment bowl- half gas and half alcohol, neatly separated!
