But I will tell you, methanol itself, is highly corrosive, and if it gets to a certain mixture of oxygen, water and meth, it will turn to acid and eat everything in its path. As long as the motor runs for a moment with the meth system off, this will not be a problem, but I've seen some systems that don't have check valves and during vacuum (idle, shut off, highway), it will suck the water/meth from the system and then when you shut the car off, it will sometimes eat chunks of material. So just make sure you run a check valve so you don't get any leakage.

All of the systems I have every used had check valves or boost blows the liquid back to the tank at low boost settings.
Then you get a delay on delivery.
I have seen the affects of corrosion when the system is not set up properly.
I had a customer with a Procharger system, with water meth and no check valve, All the Charge pipes are Bare Steel inside, Guess How much rust went through the engine
We took the pipes off and poured the rust out of the pipes in chunks.
Bought new pipes, had them coated, and installed a check valve all is good now.
