Hi, Chisel,

I'm not completely sure what you mean by "methanol is too 'light'". Methanol works pretty well as a fuel. It's pretty popular. Methanol doesn't have quite the heat content of ethanol, and methanol is more toxic, but it works pretty well as a fuel.

As far as blending fuels, I've not tried nor do I know anyone who has tried blending methanol and isopropanol. I would think you'd have a blend that would a) smoke less and b) have a higher heat content per gram than pure methanol. Sounds like a worthwhile experiment. If you try it let us know how it works.
