Question OT: Anti Knock additives, new info??

http://www.turbofast.com.au/racefuel13.html

Interesting info, but goes against what I have read in here in regards toi just adding methanol or acetone directly to the gas tank, as opposed to only use in water injection. i.e. very small amounts.

They say a 10% of menthonal is fine and adds about 5 octane.

Even says putting a little water in the tank as added coling is ok. Yes, water is good for cooling, but straight into the gas tank????

It would be helpful if someone knows the formula/proper directions for say X amount of Methanol for X amount of fuel rather than a 'general rule'.
