Message	...the downsides are just too great for me to mess with. I helped a guy work on his Miata that he'd be spraying meth (windshield wiper fluid) on. When we took the charge piping off it was all very badly corroded, to the point it couldn't even be reused. All of his intake piping was aluminum so he thought it was safe. The corrosive properties of meth/water along with the complexity of the system (if the injection system were to fail at the right point in time it could cause the early demise of the engine) lead me to pass on it.
