I DO, but I only recommend Alkycontrol kits because as you say, you become 'married' to it. I have seen repeated pump and line failures from the other 3 'big' companies and they all use those crappy stab-in fittings with plastic line (nothing but industrial air line fittings) and their soft parts int he pump are not 100% methanol safe. I have cars that have been running the Alkycontrol kits for over 5 years without ever having a hiccup. I also never use mixes; straight methanol.
Completely un true. Every single methanol company in the USA has 100% methanol compatible pumps. All of the "soft parts" seals, wetted parts are compatible. To say anything otherwise is incorrect. Also, every single pump manufacturer including us has changed from the Shurflo pump to the Aquatec pump because it is better, its just a fact.

We offer stainless steel hose as an upgrade choice for those that want it. it would only be for looks/vanity as our nylon hose will hold up to any abuse you will give it. The idea is to built a kit as reliable as possible but then also to have a real flow based failsafe to react incase of issue/alert the owner.
